I remember writing this quote by Charles Spurgeon in one of my early bibles. But it wasn’t until recently that I thought about this again.
While at a prayer meeting, the Holy Spirit said, “God is the end goal. He is not a means to another end.” And I had to ask myself, is what I’m doing reaching the goal to know Him more?
He wants us to know Him and His Word first and then help others find Him. If we’ve ever made Him the means to an end (even unintentionally), we’ve had it backwards.
He is Alpha.
Make Him Omega too.

The candid shots are my fave! I love how God knits hearts together— and this weekend was full of that, and more! A big thanks to Trina Hankins, Alicia Moran, Ryane Broussard, and Christi LeFevre for all they poured out at the Supernatural Women’s Conference. Definitely going home grateful. Especially for new friendships that are made each time 🥹

The smallest adjustment can have the greatest impact on your direction— and in this case, your peace too.
I honestly had never seen this verse before. But it’s so true. Peace is the manifest presence of God. So why do we hope for peace apart from God’s Word?
Make the adjustment today.
Don’t just scroll and randomly read a verse or encouragement that you most likely won’t remember tonight, and think that’s enough. It’s not.
Open your Bible. It’s okay to have a guide, like a devotional or book. What’s important is your pursuit. And what follows your pursuit, is peace like a river.
Peace that passes understanding.
Peace that guards your heart and mind.
The God of peace Himself will be with you.

I actually heard someone talking about value recently. Apparently a professor was challenging his students to guess the value of a rare gem and one after another, guesses from very high to medium were suggested but the professor just kept shaking his head no.
And then one student said, “It seems to me, the value is based on what someone is willing to pay.”
Bingo.
Isn’t that what happens at an auction? Values jump through the roof simply because one person saw GREAT value in what another tried to get cheap, the value and price were set by the one who SAW the value.
“For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from your ancestors, not with perishable things like silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ…” (1 Peter 1:18-19).
Peter Louis said, “God saw it fit to spend the blood of Jesus on you.”
There is no commodity greater than the precious blood of Jesus! So what does that say about YOUR value?
A lot.
