Notes from Greenelsh

You are priceless because almighty God, the greatest of all time, created you and desires for you to know him and to share in his love. He has given Jesus to make that possible for anyone who trusts in him.

Choose people of virtue to look up to. Jesus is the greatest hero you should love and honor. Trust and follow him.

Pursue excellence and persevere. But don’t venture alone. Trust and follow Jesus and he will save, transform, and empower you to accomplish great things.

Peace goes deeper than just the absence of conflict. Jesus brings true peace. Trust him to save you then rely on him to bring about peace to your circumstances and relationships.

When you understand and accept God’s unconditional love it changes everything now and forever.

Part of your preparation for what God has for you next as an empty nester, or any stage in life, is letting go, so he can do a new and even better work in you and through you.

Joyfully take courage in God in order to face the stress, trauma, hatred, and evil in the world and to make a difference for good.

Maturing is a circular, iterative process. By God's grace and power, to learn and grow you must not only hear instruction and wisdom, but receive it, apply it, and pass it on by teaching it to others.

You have a lot ways to live your life, but only Jesus makes it possible for you to know God and inherit eternal life. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6, NIV). Only with Jesus can your soul be saved and satisfied.

By faith people need God’s eyes to see beyond outward appearances, to discern truth from deception, to make wise decisions, and to repent from sin.

God brings beauty from ashes, light from darkness, and life from death. Through faith in him you can reframe your perspective to discover blessing for you and others even amidst adversity.

God has given you valuable experiences and wisdom not only to teach you, but for you to share with others. You are blessed when you do.

God stretches you so you can grow closer to him and closer to others. Stretching reaps a harvest of perseverance, righteousness, peace, and hope for those who have humbly been trained by it.

All that is good, right, loving, beautiful, and true comes from God. Listen to his voice and trust him to change your life for the best.

It is important to eliminate any dissonance between knowing something and doing something about it, especially in your relationship with God.

Life is made of relationships, first with God then with others. With God’s help spend the time you have investing in yourself and others in ways that bring him glory.

Your most powerful transformation and your catalyst for change takes place when you submit to God changing you from the inside out and when you trust him to intervene in your circumstances.

God graciously meets the needs of those who humbly trust him, not because they are worthy, but because he is good, loving, and all-sufficient.

God is reaching out to help you through obstacles which keep you from hoping in him. Take his hand today.

When you are united with God by faith no blessing or suffering is wasted and nothing is wanted, for he is all you need.

Instead of promoting yourself, find your worth and completeness in God. By faith make the most of him in how you think, speak, and act.

Make loving God and loving others your main motivation in life. Carry it out by faith in Jesus and you will experience fulfillment that serving yourself through the ways of this world can never offer.

God wants to redeem your pain and your hurt from empathizing with others. Jesus gave his life and rose again to make that possible. Trust him to save and restore you.

Don’t walk alone trying to do, look, acquire, and meet. Instead walk with God by faith and find fulfillment.
