Our practice of hearing what God is saying and speaking encouragement, comfort, and strength into others doesn’t need to be limited to church services. Whether it be your job, friends, family, or even someone you just met on the street, you are meant to be that candle in a dark place. Go and encourage someone today. Be the beacon of love God intended you to be.

There is not one blade of grass, there is no colour in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.

We can say we know the baker because he bakes our bread but do we really know him? We can say we know the cashier because he checks out our groceries, but do we really know him? We can say we know Jesus because he’s a refiner, he’s a transformer, he’s a deliverer, but do we know his hand of refinement, transformation, and deliverance?

There is always a lot to be thankful for if you take time to look for it. Right now, I’m sitting here thinking how nice it is that wrinkles don’t hurt.
James I (J. I.) Packer
Knowing God is more than knowing about Him; it is a matter of dealing with Him as He opens up to you, and being dealt with by Him as He takes knowledge of you. Knowing about Him is a necessary precondition of trusting in Him, but the width of our knowledge about Him is no gauge of our knowledge of Him.
Miguel de Unamuno
Cure yourself of the condition of bothering about how you look to other people. Be concerned only with the idea God has of you.

Delays are not refusals; many a prayer is registered, and underneath it the words: “My time is not yet come.” God has a set time as well as a set purpose, and He who orders the bounds of our habitation orders also the time of our deliverance.
Barbara Brown Taylor
Do not let anyone convince you that if it were really God it would not be so scary and it certainly would not hurt. Hang on with everything that is in you, even if it hurts. Insist on a blessing to go with your wound and do not let go until you have got one. Then thank God for your life, limp and all, and tilt your way home.

The experience of intimacy of being completely accepted and completely known and accepted in return is the most satisfying experience we can have as humans.
Clark H Pinnock
It is hard to speak of any of the divine Persons worthily, since they transcend the world and tax the powers of reason. Yet it is easier to speak of Father and Son, if only because of the familiar family imagery employed in these designations. The Spirit, however, presents a unique challenge to speech. How does one render that reality that is wind, fire, breath, life—tangible yet intangible, invisible yet powerful, inexpressible yet intimate, powerful yet gentle, reliable yet unpredictable, personal yet impersonal, transcendent yet immanent?
