“Be crafted into something new.” (Colossians 3:1-11) It starts with an idea. In the designer’s skilled hands, the raw materials begin to take shape. The process is sometimes messy and time consuming, but it is necessary. The transformation process creates something useful, something beautiful, something new.

Kids love to imitate. That’s how they learn. And just as we pass down our wisdom, skills, or hobbies to our children, God asks us to follow His example. There’s no better way to learn how to love life and live life than from the One who created us.

Life comes with question marks. But we need not fear; God is faithful.

God not only created us and knows us, but He is in tune to our every thought and emotion.

No matter the circumstances, you can lean into Jesus—the best gift we could ever receive—and He will calm your spirit.

Psalm 23 recounts the wonderful truths of our comforting God.

Out of nothing, God made something. With mere spoken words, He made something that looked like Him—us! And it was all so good.

It’s humbling, really. When you consider the entire universe, the billions of stars and people, the noise and activity that never end . . . and He chose YOU! The Creator of everything made you, died for you, and wants a relationship with you.

“Be not afraid to light up the dance floor, and dance more.” – Ciara Jones

When the storms of life rage, remember He is with you. When you struggle until you have no energy left to give, He is with you. When you feel alone and think that God doesn’t care, He is with you. So take heart . . . He is with you!
