The state of our hearts determines how we respond to life's challenges and opportunities. Whether we choose joy and forgiveness, or offense and anger, the key is to decide how we will react before we encounter these situations.

You can't have a relationship with God that doesn't move. He goes with you wherever you go. Jesus will never come, sit in your world, and leave you in the place you are. He is always calling us to move. "Go and I'll show" never stops in a relationship with God! You'll never see what you won't move towards. You do the going and God does the showing. IT'S TIME TO GO!
