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

God is the maker and sustainer of all things. He cares for you and graciously gives His love forever.

A baby boy. That’s how God chose to save the world. It was God’s plan to send His Son in the flesh, and it’s His plan to affect every one of us through this gift. So trust in His purpose, no matter what your role, because He loves you so.

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.

We all have our own agenda. We want certain things, and God even invites us to pray very specifically, right? 

It’s inevitable. Rough waters will come. But the good news is that you are not navigating alone.

Do you ever feel like you’re drowning? Like there’s an ocean of pain and problems and you can’t breathe? But there is One who saves. Who rescues. Who brings your life out of the deep and into the light. His name is Jesus, and He wants to rescue you. Read more: http://odb.org/2015/02/24/longing-for-rescue/

Whatever it is that you do—do it well. Do it with purpose. Do it for Him. And at the end of the day, you can say, “It was good.”

People or things will try to distract you, but keep going.

Trust the Giver. And He will help you see the way again.
