My oh my! What an absolutely beautiful, Spirit-filled week this has been! I can’t even begin to put into words all of the blessings the Lord has poured out along the way. His presence has been so evident, His goodness has been undeniable, and His Holy Spirit has shown up in ways that have left my heart overflowing with gratitude and praise!
Last night’s church service was absolutely amazing! There is just something so powerful about gathering together with our brothers and sisters in Christ, lifting our voices, worshipping our King, and feeling His presence move among us. And then this morning… WOW! We gathered on the river, and as the worship team sang, their voices carried across the water, mingling with the sound of the train whistle in the distance. I couldn’t help but think about how many people throughout the Tri-State may have heard the praises of God this morning! What a beautiful thought that His name was being lifted up along the riverbanks, across the rooftops, through the streets, and wherever our voices could carry!
LET HIS NAME BE EXALTED! Let Him be praised in the good times, in the hard times, in the valleys, on the mountaintops, and everywhere in between! Never be ashamed to tell someone what Jesus has done for you. Never hide what He has rescued you from, delivered you from, brought you through, or redeemed in your life. Your testimony is not just your story it is a testimony of HIS POWER! Somebody may be standing in the very place God brought you out of, and He may use your testimony to plant a seed of hope in their heart. You may never know this side of Heaven whose life was touched because you were willing to say, “Look what Jesus has done for me!”
So GO LOVE ON SOMEBODY TODAY! ❤️ Go be the hands and feet of Jesus. Go where He leads you, even if it takes you outside of your comfort zone. Love the person who may feel unlovable. Encourage the person who is hurting. Sit with the lonely. Pray for the broken. Show grace. Show compassion. Plant seeds wherever the Lord gives you opportunity, and trust Him to bring the increase.
We are called to be a light in this world not to hide it, but to let it shine so brightly that others are drawn toward the One who placed it within us.
Lord, let our lives be living testimonies. Let our voices proclaim Your goodness. Let our feet carry us wherever You need us to go, and let everything we do point back to YOU. May Your name be glorified, Your Gospel be proclaimed, and Your love reach every person You place in our path.
I hope everyone has a very blessed, beautiful, and JESUS-filled “Son” day! May we never stop praising Him!
