Happy 3-2-1 Sunday,

3 Notes
I.
“When God gives you a vision, when He lays something on your heart -- see it through. Sometimes following him looks really crazy to everyone else but when you step out on faith, He will never fail to meet you there.”

II.
“We often want it so badly that we ruin it before it begins. Overthinking. Fantasizing. Imagining. Expecting. Worrying. Doubting. Put in the work and let it evolve because what God has for you is for you.”
____
III.
“God is never trying to take anything away from you, He’s trying to get you to prioritize the thing that will get the most to you.”

I.
Artist and poet Morgan Harper Nichols on being complete:
“When you know
you are loved and seen by God,
you live a different life.
You no longer need attention
or affection from others to feel satisfied.
Even if you receive praise for your work
or if you are noticed in a crowd,
because you know you are loved and seen by God,
your soul was complete
before you ever got to those things.”

American Reformed theologian R.C. Sproul on God’s presence:
“I don't always feel His presence. But God’s promise does not depend on my feelings; they rest upon His integrity.”
