06/15 Psalm 63:1
1 O God, you are my God;
I earnestly search for you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my whole body longs for you
in this parched and weary land
where there is no water.
NOT
This world is not our home.
We are looking for that place where God lives,
Living for the day we are face to face with Jesus.
Life is fast.
Be the change you want so badly to see.
Begin earnestly searching for God,
He rewards those who seek Him.
06/14 Matthew 5:6
6 God blesses those who hunger and thirst for justice,
for they will be satisfied.
JUSTICE
We seek justice but often overlook our errors.
Change, grow and clean up your own backyard,
Before you begin clamoring for justice.
God is just and He will mete out justice.
06/13 Psalm 42:1-2
1 As the deer longs for streams of water,
so I long for you, O God.
2 I thirst for God, the living God.
When can I go and stand before him?
REALITY
The reality is that everything in us yearns to be with Jesus.
This world and the things of this world are passing away.
Love one another.
Love the Lord.
This is real living.
06/12 Luke 17:5
5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Show us how to increase our faith.”

06/11 1 Timothy 4:7
7 Do not waste time arguing over godless ideas and old wives’ tales. Instead, train yourself to be godly.

Model yourself after Jesus.
Love one another.
Be humble.
Seek to grow in Christlikeness.
06/10 Proverbs 1:5
5 Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser.
Let those with understanding receive guidance
LISTEN
Listen to God.
He speaks through His Word.
He speaks any was He chooses to you but most often through His Word.
Read his Word.
Read the Bible every day.
Write down verses that the Father impresses on your heart.
Remember these verses.
Follow the Lord.
06/09 Luke 2:52
52 Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.
WINSOME
People liked Jesus.
He was obedient to His Father, God,
And he genuinely liked people.
He listened, he cared, he grew.
He had a mission and began that work when God said begin.
But He was always obedient to the Father.
06/08 1 Samuel 2:26
26 Meanwhile, the boy Samuel grew taller and grew in favor with the Lord and with the people.
CALLED
The Lord called Samuel.
Samuel answered.
He followed the Lord’s directives.
Samuel was obedient and teachable.
Follow the Lord and grow in humility.
06/07 Ephesians 4:15
15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.
TRUTH
Speak truth in love,
Kindly caring for others.
Truth kindly spoken helps you grow and blesses the recipient.
06/06 Colossians 2:6-7
6 And now, just as you accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord, you must continue to follow him. 7 Let your roots grow down into him, and let your lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness.
GRATITUDE
Gratitude is the attitude of the Kingdom.
You and I will cultivate the ability to see,
All that the Lord has done for us,
And is doing for us.
Gratitude embodies the mindset of the growing Christian.
Without gratitude, your growth will stop,
And you will struggle until you cultivate the ability to be grateful in all things,
And in all seasons.
The Lord is good and He is good to us in thousands of ways every day.
