“To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some.”
1 Corinthians 9:22

What a beautiful thing it is to know that God loves us so much that He was willing to come down and become one of us. Hurting with us, struggling with us, just so He could win us over. Anything I go through He can relate to because He has been through it also. His heart breaks for us and I pray that He breaks my heart for what breaks His. I pray that I can submit to others so I can hurt with them and rejoice with them when God comes through. I want to become to woman God has called me to be and be sent out to where God wants to send me. I want to adapt to new things and uncomfortable things that God is calling me to. I want to be used by God to win souls and not by my strength, but His to be a light in this world. He is calling us all to a greater life with Him and all we have to do is say YES! There is freedom to submitting to His will. There is freedom to loving those around you. There is freedom to dying and finally letting Him live and dwell in you. My application is to reach out and hang out with people I don’t usually hang out with.

Romans 15:1

August 24,2017 “When then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1 Jesus did not come down to please Himself. His strength didn’t come from the feedback He received or how many people He healed. His strength came from God. We are weak, but in Him we are strong. In the book, Knowledge of the Holy , by A.W. Tozer it says that, “God gives, but does not give away.” That hit me because I thought of how many times I’ve gotten puffed up by the strength He has given me in areas and then got pushed back down and humbled. I can’t do anything with out Him so instead of using the strength that He gives me and use it for my own desires, I need to use that strength to build up those around me. Jesus did not come down to show us how strong He is, but to become weak with us and to show us God’s love. It has been amazing doing life with people with the same heart chasing after Him, but in verse 5 and 6 it says to be, “like minde...

July 27, 2017 “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.  Ephesians 5:15-17 Bringing glory to God is what we should accomplish each day. Are days are wasted when we spend them on ourselves and our own needs. We are here to seek in God’s will and it may be hard to understand sometimes, but we need to continue striving after what God has for us. I tend to get so caught up here at IGNITE fulfilling my own needs that I feel will bring me closer to God. Thinking that my personal growth can come before me reaching out to others needs. Discovering that it only makes me feel weaker than before. God has already prepared us to do what He is calling us to do, all we need to do is trust in Him. I need to let go of my image and let God show me who I am in Him. In 1 Corinthians 10:31 it says, “Whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God...

Field Time Week 9

“Let us search out and examine our ways, And turn back to the Lord; Let us lift our hearts and hands to God in Heaven. We have transgressed and rebelled; You have not pardoned.”  Lamentations 3:40-42 It’s so easy to lose sight on our own hearts when we are too busy looking at everyone else’s. So easy to judge people’s hearts by their actions, but where’s my heart in that? I never deserved the right to do that nor will I ever. So many times when I do it shows how wicked my own heart is. Heart checks need to be an everyday thing. Letting God search my heart and revealing to me how dirty it is can be rough, but it can also be a beautiful thing. It is beautiful because He doesn’t want me to stay there. He knows my heart and He knows my desire is to love and honor Him so when He does reveal the wickedness in my heart I know that He is listening. I’ve turned my back on the life I lived when I was home and God has taken away those temptations when He brought me here. It’s onl...
