A Recommitment to Things That Matter

Need a reason to smile? Pay careful attention to the joys of your everyday life and be transformed by your loving, gracious, wonderful, perfectly outrageous God.
Some things are worth waiting for. Do you struggle with God’s timing? Think of Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Trust that God knows what He’s doing and wait patiently for Him to act.
Following Christ means holding our plans loosely and trusting God’s greater purposes. As a new year begins, surrender your goals to Him and walk faithfully in His perfect timing.
