We strive so hard to feel "acceptable," "lovable," or Whole". But by whose standards? God loves US. He heals all our hurts and rights all the wrongs. We just need to turn to HIM, instead of "them". HIS will not ours --- or theirs... but His. Turn from Moab and return to Grace

Thank you Pastor Craig for the reminder again and again from the book of Ruth. I was discouraged always thinking of going back to “Moab”because of some struggling in “Bethlehem” because of bad times, I didn’t get what I want, what I desire but your message has enlightened me to stay in Bethlehem, repent and be patient, be hopeful, be courageous, be obedient by continuing to serve the Lord, seeking His wisdom and Kingdom as He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, His plan is to prosper and not to harm me, His timing is perfect. IJN Amen. ❤

[@goodsamaritangaming1997]

Trusting God to show all my pain and suffering isn't for nothing, especially when I've had two bone fusions on my right foot and one nerve surgery on that same foot, with a possibility of another surgery and I'm only 30, so it's easy to feel like my life is a waste and a failure, but messages like this help me keep my head up at least that little bit.

[@life.church]

Lord Jesus, I ask that you would show yourself very real to @goodsamaritangaming1997. Please give them a sense of your purpose, your peace in the midst of their trials, and most of all, a sense of your delight in them and love for them. Please encourage their heart that you do have a purpose for all of these things. You are going to use them in spite of and because of what they are going through, even at such a young age. Please block the enemy's lies that their life is a waste and a failure because that is not true. Help them to know you and your truth each day, each moment. Give them the strength to rise up and trust you and seek ways to serve you even during this time of weakness and recovery. Your strength is made perfect or complete in our weaknesses. Amen.

@MelanieMartin-d8n I believe that the word of God ministers differently to everyone hence the Bible tells us that his word will never return to Him void. When you're at the brink of letting go, or surrendering yourself to battle you just can't win, when it seems that you're surrounded in all sides Re-turn to the God who knew you before you were formed. Fix your eye's unto Jesus.
