Perfectly Imperfect

What kind of a legacy are you leaving? I want mine to show how much faith I had in God just like our many ancestors in the Bible! Hebrews 11

We have all been mistreated by someone in our lives. It’s sometimes very hard to forgive this person, especially if they are mistreating us regularly. God tells us to forgive like He has forgiven us, but we are human and it’s hard! That’s when love comes into play…Matthew 6:14 & John 13:34-35

Forgive others like God has forgiven us. It’s also ok to forgive and distance ourselves, but treat the person well when we see them again. Treat them like we have forgiven them. Matthew 6:14

Have you ever wondered why you have not received answers from God? Have you ever wondered what it sounded like to hear God talk with you? Have you ever taken the time to just sit and listen to God? That is what God wants…He wants you to sit and listen. He sometimes wants you to rest so that He can speak words of life into your soul!

Have you ever felt restless? It could be for so many reasons. Jesus wants to give you rest. He wants to meet with you daily and listen to your problems. He wants to be your best friend. He wants to know you and wants you to know Him too! Find rest in Him! Matthew 11:28-30

We are to rejoice and be glad in it! What happens when you don’t feel like rejoicing? Do it anyway! Psalm 118:24. Let me know what you are thankful for today! anchor.fm/jamie-sheaffer

When we put the phone down and unplug, then we can tune into what our surroundings are. We can have random conversations with random people. If we are scrolling, then we miss those random people and any opportunity to share about Jesus which is why we were placed on the planet!

What I noticed from my first day of being unplugged and resting from social media. A new conversation about the talents parable and an embarrassing story from my high school English class! Let me know how you’re going to rest and unplug by going to anchor.fm/jamie-sheaffer!

We need our rest and to unplug from the world every now and then. I know this is true because even God rested and even Jesus unplugged from those around Him from time to time. How will you rest or unplug? Let me know at anchor.fm/jamie-sheaffer.
