Me:\u00a0 It is a day that starts out with the Lord, we are uncertain of what it will bring.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 How do you deal with that?<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 We know and trust in Christ the Savior.<\/p>\n

This is from the book\u00a0 In the Middle of the Mess:\u00a0 Strength for this Beautiful Broken Life by Sheila Walsh<\/p>\n

If we are still on this earth, then the work is not finished.\u00a0 God has committed to work with us in that journey until Christ returns.\u00a0 How I wish for a greater understanding of this in the body of Christ.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Too often we judge, measure, condemn, and isolate.\u00a0 The gospel of Jesus Christ invites us to sit together in our rags under the wide open sky of grace.\u00a0 Does that mean it doesn’t matter how we live?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 What I mean is that condemnation and isolation are the tools of the enemy.\u00a0 The Holy Spirit brings conviction, which draws us closer to Christ.\u00a0 Condemnation pushes us back into the darkness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do not fall into the enemy’s lies of condemnation and isolation.\u00a0 Look to the Lord and grace will be given.<\/p>\n

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.\u00a0 So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 3:6-7<\/p>\n
