Mess to Mission

Have 10 minutes to spare?

Think you messed up?

From Mess to Meaning
"From Prisoner to Professor". This short and sweet testimony shows how God loves each and everyone of us and no matter how much we mess up, He is always reaching out to us. Thank God He reaches out to us that we can have a gentler "learning curve"; by learning from others' lives. But regardless, God will still catch up with you and me.

And His Word has power and He is always in control. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11). God can turn a messy and ugly situation around just as He did for 袁幼軒.

From Meaning to Mission
And subsequently, His plans even extend to working and using you to even bring hope to others.

Faith & Fullness
And if you are praying for someone, keep praying, just as the mother not only persevered in prayer but even had the faith to give thanks.

And this reminds me of a verse I saw this afternoon, just moments before seeing this. I just sense God reminding us that receiving Christ is just the first step; having redeemed us from our debts. We have to make a conscious and constant effort to choose holiness, being built up by God and overflow with thankfulness. That, according to Colossians 2:6-7 is the spiritual fullness in Christ.

"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness." (Colossians 2:6-7).
