Beloved, slow down. God is more concerned about who you are than what you do or where you go.

Your call is not your identity. Your identity is found in Jesus, not your profession or calling.

Your identity is not who you are but who you have surrendered to. It’s not rooted in your resume, it’s rooted in His.

Your identity is not who you are, but who you have surrendered to. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. Galatians 2:20

There is beauty in admitting tomorrow is unknown and out of our hands.

How cool is it that God gave us the ability to recognize and appreciate the beauty around us?!

From the most intricate sunset to the most delicate flower, God let’s us experience the same feeling He gets when He looks at us.

God didn’t just give us the ability to see worldy “beauty”. He gives us the patience to sit through an entire sunrise. He gives us the blessing of getting to know people and watch as beauty unfolds in them over time.

How cool is it that God gives us the intentionality to pour into others and expect nothing in return?

God’s will for our life isn’t always the hardest or the most faith stretching option. God cares about what we are passionate about. He put that desire there for a reason. It’s a blessing, not a burden.

God loved, and was well pleased with Jesus before He had even started His ministry. We are loved by God, not because of what we do, but because of our who we are to Him.

“and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”” Luke 3:22 NIV

It’s important to trust God with your passions. God doesn’t want us to not pursue them. It is His desire to use them for His glory!

If you let yourself be led by your emotions you will end up Inside Out + upside down.

Our emotions are like our all too familiar “check engine light”. We literally cannot depend on the light to lead us to the car shop. It doesn’t work that way. Our emotions, like the light, simply tell us something is wrong. They alone, don’t have the power to “fix” anything.

We were not designed to be led by our emotions. We were designed to be led by the spirit. Only the Spirit can lead us to what we truly need, or rather, who we need. Jesus.

Whatever you are feeling right now, Jesus has felt it to the fullest.

5 Emotions of Jesus: Anxiety (Luke 22:44) Fear (Hebrews 5:7) Anger (Mark 3:5) Sadness (John 11:35) Joy (Matthew 11:25)

We were not designed to be led by our emotions. We were designed to be led by the Spirit. Only the Spirit can lead us to what we truly need, or rather, who we need. Jesus.

Whatever you are feeling right now, Jesus felt it to the fullest.
