Paul said it well: All have sinned and fallen short. And thank God for our current season of the year, where we consider the great price Jesus paid on the cross so that every sinner can have their sins forgiven.

The Pharisees asked Jesus what the greatest commandment was, and he answered:

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” And Jesus then added a second command: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

With God even mountains can be moved.

God is both the creator of all things but also the sustainer of all things.

The Lord, our shepherd, will meet us and get us through every situation.

It is important to speak scripture to ourselves so that we correct our thinking and remember God’s promises.

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving!

When we surrender everything to God, he will not only accomplish his will in our lives; but he will also bring us full and abundant joy.

We all need to work together to fulfill the mission we have been given.

Our best prayer is that God's will may be done on earth as it is in heaven, and that He helps us to live lives that reflect our submission to His will.

God is always watching over us and working things out for our good.

Jesus has forgiven our sins, filled us with his Spirit, and desires to use us to extend his kingdom until he comes to renew all things.

God hears our prayers, and he will answer them. He is faithful every time.

There is nothing that can separate us from God’s love.

There really is never a situation or a moment where God cannot deliver more than enough to meet our deepest needs.

Whatever God calls us to do today, may we humbly accept his assignment.

When we trust Jesus fully, he will not only bring us through each storm, but he will also use us to show the world that He is fully alive and active as he uses us to reveal Christ to others through our faithfulness.

We are to bring to the Lord what we have and then follow God’s lead as we watch and wait for his loving hands to touch, bless, and deliver what we need.

In Luke’s passage, Jesus tells us to ask, seek, and knock on the doors of heaven because our loving Father knows what we need and will respond.

When we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and of scripture, we are learning to trust God with all our heart so that he can direct our paths.
