Notes from Greenelsh

Choose today which reality drives you: the world's way or God's way.

Evaluate seemingly good agendas for ulterior motives. Invest what you've been given to glorify God and help others.

Living for yourself restricts you. Only with God will you become all you were designed to be.

Let God change you for the best through the reading of his written word, the Bible.

Be willing to change your perspective to get more out of life and pour more into it.

Avoid busying yourself with what doesn't last. Exchange mediocre for best. Each day venture into discovering who God designed you to be and what he has set for you to do in Jesus.

No matter what other voices may say to devalue or defeat you, you are treasured because God made you, he loves you, and he wants you to be united with him.

Respond to takers and wrongdoers in a way that will help move them toward God and to do what's right.

Your thoughts, words, and actions influence people around you. Use them to help people excel and thrive, especially as it relates to God.

Enjoy God's peace and contentment through active faith by accepting him, accepting people, and accepting your role in bringing change for good where you can.

Don't focus on whatever current problem or battle you face, but rather receive the solution that God has already won for you in Jesus.

Only God fully understands and can solve your sin and suffering. Let him transform you through Jesus' comfort, redemption, and healing. Then share what he has done in you with others.

As a loving father, God has given you himself, as well as, numerous other gifts in Jesus. He rejoices when you thank him, enjoy him, and give of his gifts to help save others.

Make Jesus your source of joy and your outlook, quality of life, and impact on others will improve.

The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus represent a necessary end and glorious beginning which anyone who trusts and obeys him must also experience in order to truly live.

You may be uncertain of the future, but you can be certain of God. Although his methods and timing may transcend your understanding, he will accomplish his purposes in the world and in anyone who trusts him.

Pursue a deepening relationship with God and you will not only distance yourself from danger, but you'll also enjoy a better life now and forever. In addition, you'll be able to help others do the same.

Let Jesus love through you to bear the firstfruit of love where there has been little or no love.

Have eyes to see what God has revealed through his Son, his Spirit, his word, and his creation. Then pass that life-saving truth on to others.

Trust God and each day will be better, not because the day is without problems, but because being with God is greater than whatever the day may bring.

Experience lasting victory over emotional/mental fatigue by receiving and thanking God for his salvation in Jesus.

If you are humble, open, inquisitive, persistent, and willing to change you can discover the truth and escape deception.

Let go of pursuing your own glory. Go for God's glory and in the process you will be glorified beyond imagination.

In light of Jesus' example and with his power, look beyond yourself to joyfully acknowledge, value, and help others.

Boldly follow Jesus' lead through the wisdom of his word and the power of his Spirit and he'll show you and others how to handle the challenges you face.
