Your worth is not defined by the words of others. Your identity is not established on anyone’s opinion of you. It is rooted in God’s truth.

God is not waiting for a perfect church — He’s waiting for a yielded one. He’s asking, “Who will burn for Me in this generation?”

7 times in Revelation it speaks of those who have hearing ears. Our ears must be opened to hear what the Spirit is now saying to His churches. I hear His voice pointing us to Christ and away from all else, to be separated unto Him with abandoned hearts.

The Fear of God The Hebrew word for fear means holy awe, deepest respect, to venerate, worship, adore, to regard as holy. And yes, it can also mean to tremble in His presence - overwhelmed in His glory. This holy fear anchors us. It keeps us rooted and grounded and inspires us with awestruck wonder. As we set him apart in our hearts as holy, it stirs a desire to please him more than any other. The fear of God keeps us from defiling ourselves. We want every thought, word, and action to honor him. A spirit of fear is not the same thing as the fear of the Lord. God does not give us a spirit of fear or panic, but he does insist we approach him with reverence, awe, humility, and surrender. We have always known that love is the foundation of our relationship with God, but now the Lord wants us to discover the fear of the Lord as equally foundational. Love and the fear of God are the twin truths that stabilize the church. Father, I long to live before you in holiness and complete surrender. I want every motive and thought to honor you. Help me to guard my heart at all times and to remain undefiled from this world. I want to know you as you yearn to be known. May love and the fear of the Lord keep me close to you.

May the Lord God Almighty, in his mercy obliterate every word, statement, experience, and invisible barrier you may have constructed that is keeping his blessing from reaching your heart. May the unrelenting love of God pursue you and surprise you with his compassion for you.

Spiritual growth is a reality. We have all things in Christ, and His work is finished. Yet there is a greater enjoyment of Christ that comes through prayer, seeking His face in intimate encounters, worshiping our way out of pain, and finding the path of true purity.

I love the story of Jonathan's son, Mephibosheth. (His name is hard to pronounce, but his story is easy to love.) Mephibosheth’s life shows us the heart of God’s grace. He was a lame grandson of Saul who was adopted by David. It's a story of how the King calls, restores, and seats the broken at His table. David remembers his covenant with Jonathan—promises made in tears and blood. And he declares: “Bring me that boy.” When Mephibosheth finally comes before David, trembling, expecting death, he hears these words instead: 2 Samuel 9:7 (TPT) “‘Don’t be afraid. I will show you kindness because of your father Jonathan. I will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul, and you will always eat at my table.’” Oh, beloved—do you hear it? This is Jesus, our greater David, speaking over you. Don’t be afraid. I will show you kindness. I will restore what was lost. You will always eat at My table. That’s not pity. That’s covenant. That’s grace wrapped in royal garments. The Table of Grace Picture it. Night falls in the palace. The long banquet table is set with golden goblets and platters steaming with roasted lamb. David’s sons take their seats—handsome, strong, warriors and princes. Then comes the sound: thump, drag, thump, drag. Mephibosheth, lame in both feet, shuffles into the hall. But once he sits down at the King’s table—legs hidden beneath the royal cloth—he looks like every other son of the King. That’s grace. At the table of Jesus, your limp is covered. Your shame is swallowed. Your brokenness is hidden beneath the righteousness of the King. At the table, the addict looks like a son. The divorcee looks like a daughter. The outcast looks like royalty. The wounded look whole. At the table of grace, nobody sees your limp. They see the Lamb.

Much of life is lived in the "in-between" places where we don't have answers. What has kept me going is faith in the character of God. I cannot doubt in the dark what God has shown me in the light. He is good, and He is fair when life isn't. His love is our anchor of hope.
