Notes from Greenelsh

True greatness or glory are not obtained through self-achievement, but through humble cooperation and sacrifice which is the way of the Cross—the way of Jesus.

You need wisdom and truth to navigate life’s journey. God freely offers both as he invites you to join him and his mission by faith.

Focus and rely on God and you will not only become stronger, but you will also experience a transforming closeness with him, especially as he delivers you through trials.

People are in a spiritual battle they cannot win alone. If you trust in God, you can be involved in his rescue mission of those people by allowing him to broaden your vision, increase your love, and fuel your engagement.

Life, liberty, and joy aren’t found through independence, but rather through faithful dependence on God.

Talk to God and others about your struggles. Then listen to their advice and follow through in doing what is right, good, and loving.

If you want to receive God’s help in healing your brokenness, his wisdom in decision-making, his intervention in circumstances, and his blessing in relationships you must surrender control by faith.

Enter into a loving, saving relationship with your Heavenly Father by trusting Jesus. Then you can draw on his grace, power, and wisdom to best honor your earthly father.

Whenever God says, “No” it is for your best. Submit to his will and you will experience righteousness, peace, and joy that transcends temporary happiness.

When you examine your past, thank God for the good memories and trust him to redeem the bad memories to make you whole and to bring him glory.

Listen to and obey God. Let his word represented in the Bible and in Jesus season your words, mold your character, and direct your actions.

Although it requires sacrifice, empathizing and interceding for others can make a significant difference for them and you.

No matter how busy, weary, or numb you may feel, you can be strengthened, encouraged, and revitalized by answering Jesus’ loving call to come away with him.

Consider the costs that come with the potential benefits of various societal developments and especially the costs and benefits of living with God or without him.

God pricelessly values you, unconditionally accepts you, and deeply loves you. Trust Jesus to inherit all God designed for you to be and to have. Then share that inheritance by valuing, accepting, and loving others.

God gives life. Trust and rest in him for he is good, right, and loving. Resist the lure of what seems to give life and pleasure apart from him, for it only ends up stealing, killing, and destroying.

Turn from your way to Jesus’ way. Trust and obey him for he has already won the battle you are fighting.

Look to Jesus, Love Incarnate, who graciously became the sacrificial Passover Lamb who took upon himself the sin of the world so anyone who trusts him can truly live and not die.

Abide in Jesus by trusting and obeying him and you will enjoy the serenity of unity and completeness with God that transcends the trespasses of broken people and the trials of this fallen world.

Be someone people can count on, by doing what you say you will.

Overcome censorship, gaslighting, misinformation, disinformation, biases, and being controlled by thinking critically from a godly perspective.

Find answers in life by putting God first. Develop his love for people. Learn from Jesus how to seek the lost, so he can save them.

Look at where God is at work reaching the lost, the last, the least, and the lonely. Then gladly join him there and let him work through you to make a difference.

Run to God by faith. Even though you may experience hardship along the race it is worth it for running by faith in God is the only race which results in abundant, everlasting life.

As you leave behind your way and follow Jesus, you receive new life and incredible blessings meant to be shared with others to help bring about revival—divine, lasting change for good.
