Everyday, Jesus

Isn't it so interesting that most of the Ten Commandments issue the charge of “thou shall not” and the new command demands a thou shall DO? And not in the way that one replaces another, but that this new command tweaks our vision and our hearts to understand the heart of the Father just a little bit more - to open our eyes to see that the undercurrent of all He is and all He hopes we will be is LOVE.If today's episode resonated with you, please be sure to follow here and leave a review!More of Everyday JesusInstagram - ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/everydayjesuscommunity⁠⁠Krystle - ⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/krystlewillswain⁠⁠Contact UsEmail - [email protected]

Praise is intimate, powerful, and transcendent. God is in endless pursuit of you. Goodness chasing after you. One of the places that He dwells with us is within the praise of His people. This dwelling is not only for those who believe in Him. His presence floods the room when we sing Holy, Holy, Holy are You, Lord God, Almighty or It is Well With My Soul. You don’t have to intimately know your maker for your inner being to be made aware of His purpose for our Praise. You just have to be made in His image - which we all are - intimately woven to be His dwelling place as we praise Him.If today's episode resonated with you, please be sure to follow here and leave a review!More of Everyday JesusInstagram - ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/everydayjesuscommunity⁠⁠Krystle - ⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/krystlewillswain⁠⁠Contact UsEmail - [email protected]

We are so hard on ourselves. Our voices often whisper things like “you’re not good enough, you just keep doing the same things, no one likes you, God is so disappointed in you.” That is not how the Father engages you.

Moments of underserved grace are so incredibly powerful. Just think about the times you got the "pass." Not the stranger letting you merge in to traffic kind. I mean the big pardon for your shortcoming. Those moments linger with us, don't they? Change us. So, then why does it become so much harder give to others. Scripture says kindness leads to repentance. Could we reach more hearts if we just traded cold love with warm embraces? Let's dive in!

I love the Church! It is such a special gift from the Father. But church can HURT. How do we reconcile a Holy God and a Human church?

Detours in life can be so frustrating. But, often, the Lord has good things hidden in the places where you feel off track.

So often we try to fix our internal struggles with external factors: changing that job, moving to a near city, or switching out relationships. Only Jesus renews from the inside out!
