Notes from Greenelsh

Breathe in the sweet aroma of Jesus’ life-giving triumph, then like incense, spread the fragrance of his love and salvation to others. 

Make the most of Jesus. Surrender to God through humble faith so that the magnificence and splendor of Jesus lights our dark and fallen world to help save lost and broken people.

Everyone is driven by something and that drive takes you somewhere. Trust in God and you’ll experience abundant, everlasting life driven by a love for him and others.

Run life’s race not by yourself or for yourself. Instead run for God with a persevering faith. In the process God will reward you by saving you, transforming you, and working through you to help others.

With Jesus you can experience a joy that outlasts happiness and transcends circumstances.

The path to lasting peace is not striving to fulfill yourself or even to eliminate your problems. It is found in denying yourself and yielding to God by faith.

There are simple disciplines to develop hope, but the best is to cultivate a closer relationship with Jesus, the hope of the world.

Let God’s glorious truth and love expressed in Jesus move you to grow in love for him and others.

The full meaning of a single event isn’t always known at once. Through phases of faith God brings to fruition his awesome purpose for you which is to be one with him through Jesus.

God has given you incredible riches in Jesus ready to be received by faith. In addition, you also receive incredible blessings by sharing his gifts to you with others.

God is giving you light in Jesus to properly evaluate your life and your wrongdoing. Rely on him by faith today and he will restore your brokenness.

Trust Jesus to save you now rather than later and you will discover the truth, love, healing, and fulfillment that you long for.

List three things in several key categories, then with God’s help use that list to grow in your relationships, decisions, and moments.

Don’t grow weary in doing good. Find rest, peace, and renewal by humbly relying on God rather than yourself. Let him guide and empower you. Full text at https://lightrunner.org/wp/272-choose-good/

Deeper than a feeling, love is a choice by faith to rely on God to love through you in unconditional commitment and sacrificial care for the betterment of others.

When you trust and obey God you experience his abounding love through his Spirit living in you. You will have nothing to fear in this life now, or after death in eternity. 

By faith trust God to master over you and you will be able to master that which otherwise would master you.

The devil uses intimidation, infiltration, isolation, and infighting to try and destroy you. Be aware of his schemes and trust God to secure your victory.

By faith live differently, intentionally so you and others can know God and become like Jesus.

Use the sword of faith and the calling you are given. If not, the inaction of doing what is right and good can lead to the deadly action of doing what is wicked.

Work through struggles to grow as a person by making a few simple lifestyle changes.

When you put God first by faith everything else properly aligns. You will miss nothing of significance and gain everything of importance. 

Trust God’s loving plan to grow you and develop you for good and forever as only he can.

In your spheres of influence work by faith to see God’s kingdom come and his will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
