Discover God’s Plan: Serving Him With All Your Heart

lastwordrecovery

Love the Lord your God and serve Him with all your heart.

Deuteronomy 11:13

The plan for your life is very good. God designed you in a unique way in order to provide you with the proper skills and experience to accomplish the service assignments you are given.

Divine guidance comes to you in many forms. Sometimes it is revealed to you through the scriptures, sometimes it is found in the spoken words of a wise friend, and sometimes it is whispered as a still small voice from within. Each message you receive, no matter what it’s form of delivery, is vital to your journey.

Another way God shows you where to serve Him is through life experiences. Some tasks are simple and some are complex, but all are significant.  Each service assignment must be received with thanks, rather than met with apprehension or fear of failure.

It is vital that you remain alert and aware of the Holy Spirit’s direction. Through this guidance system, you will discover clues to each service project you are called to perform. More will be revealed as you choose to accept these missions with a servant’s heart and a grateful spirit.

Christ is always in front of you, guiding the way, clearing a path, and leveling the field.

With a sure win in sight, your life is filled with first downs, goals, and extra points. 

Eventually, when the clock runs out, and you leave the field, you will be met by your adoring fans from past generations who have been cheering you on.

Jesus will welcome you with a winning smile and enthusiastic praise for a game well played.

An exciting American football game in progress under bright stadium lights, with enthusiastic fans cheering in the stands, a determined runner carrying the ball sprinting toward the goal, and powerful blockers clearing the way ahead. Dynamic motion, dramatic perspective, energetic sports photography style, vivid team colors without visible logos or text.

Redefining Perfection: Growing Into Your Full Potential

lastwordrecovery

A tiny green tomato on the vine is a perfect tomato, although it does not have the color, flavor, or texture of a fully ripened tomato. The tiny green fruit is perfect, but it is not yet useful for its intended purpose. If it remains on the vine, the perfect green tomato will grow into its full potential. And throughout each stage of its growth, it will continue to be perfect.

Thus, we conclude that perfection is about potential. Perfection has little to do with current behavior or ability, but a lot to do with our mindset. Perfection is a state of being which maintains continuous momentum toward progress.

Jesus’ Call to Perfection: Rethinking What ‘Perfect’ Really Means

lastwordrecovery

If Jesus calls us to be perfect, but we say, “Oh no. I’m not perfect. Let’s be realistic, I will never be perfect,” then we are dismissing His invitation to venture into a new mindset and a leveled-up form of existence.

Before we can take that leap of faith though, we need to address this issue of perfection and what it really means. Can we trust God to bring us to a point of perfection? Can we believe that Jesus wasn’t just using performance hyperbole when He said we could be perfect like the Father?

Declaring Christ’s Finished Work: Living Philippians 1:6 Today

lastwordrecovery

“Being confident of this very thing, that he, who hath begun a good work in you, will perfect it unto the day of Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 1:6)

It feels awkward to say we are perfect. We aren’t quite sure how to align the character qualities of honesty and humility with such a bold statement. It seems like a brag and a lie.

But, if we remove the dimension of time, we can most assuredly say that somewhere in time, it has happened. Therefore, we step outside of time and claim it now. We call out what God has promised and continue declaring it until the truth becomes our reality.
