Don't dwell on your insufficiency, but dwell on God's all-sufficiency.

Even if we don't see it, God is always working underneath the surface, behind the scenes and orchestrating His plans and purposes.

God has plans and purposes for each of our lives. But the beauty is that He doesn't call us and leave us on our own. Jesus actually lives in us to pull off the amazing things that He has invited us into.

We go from Malachi to Matthew in one page of our scriptures, but that one piece of paper that separates the Old Testament from the New Testament represents 400 years of history - 400 years where there wasn't a prophet, 400 years where God's voice wasn't heard. And that silence was broken with the cry of a baby on Christmas night.

As an overflow of my life - the wake I leave behind with my little dash on earth - I want others to fall in love with Jesus and know of His great hope and purpose for their lives.

God calls each and every star by name. It’s not likely He has forgotten yours.

Simply by our proximity to Jesus, we can bring hope and life to people and places trapped in discouragement and despair.
