"As we know Jesus better, His divine power gives us everything we need for living a godly life.
He has called us to receive His own glory and goodness!"

- 2 Peter 1:3 NLT

Read that verse.  One more time.

There are some truths that truly shed light --- on everything.  Every aspect of life.

This verse is one of those truths that I find speaks in such weight and to such depth that you cannot leave from reading it without a bigger understanding of God's amazing power in our lives..... if we allow that power to be at work in us.

"Now glory be to God!  By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope.  May He be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages.  Amen."

- Ephesians 3:20-21 NLT

This is where it's at.  This is what matters. 

Allowing God's truth to work in us to cultivate our hearts to be full of life and then we will be effective.

Yesterday was a day filled with reconciliation for me. 

I was able to meet with a couple of old friends who I never would have thought I could have spent good quality time with.  The conversations were good... and I really feel as though maybe last year I wouldn't have been able to do that.  God is working in my life to forgive and to show grace.

It's so vital to life.

Life... I am deciding to choose life and not death.  Blessings and not cursings!
