God’s best gift to me has been giving me nothing I wanted when I wanted it and giving me the Holy Spirit instead.

I asked for wisdom and He said, “Fear Me.” I asked for direction and He said, “Know Me.” I asked for joy and He said, “Look at Me.” I asked for contentment and He said, “Find your all in Me.

In name of Jesus, it is time to be free. Free of the worries that keep you going in circles over and over again. Free of the worries of not having enough to make it where you need to go. Free of the worries of constantly trying to live up to every single expectation and pressure that others have put on you. It’s time to be free to trust that God is faithful, and He is The One you must seek to please, above, beyond, and before anyone else. He is The One that will give you anything you need to get where He is leading you. A lot of things may have changed in your life that have caused you to doubt this at times, but He has not changed. His Word in your life still holds true more than the words of anything other. ⠀ Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” - Hebrews 13:5 ⠀ So keep on going. Don’t give up, and remember most of all Who you’re doing it for. Remember the One Who has paved the path so far and the One who will continue to pave the rest of the way. Whatever fears you have of missing out, being left out, or not having enough, know that in Jesus’ name, He is your provider in all of those things. ⠀ There is no need to worry. There is so much more ahead of you than you could possibly see or understand right now. There are so many more rivers to cross and mountains to climb, and all of these things will happen in time. And even if the mountains take a little awhile to get to, and even if you have to tread a little further to get to them, God is still faithful in leading you where you need to be and everything He does is with divine intention. So slow down. There’s no need to rush when you know Him. The party won’t start without you. No one is going to take your seat and you will not be replaced or forgotten. In Him, you no longer have a reason to fear missing out. You only need to keep trusting, keep going, knowing that He will never leave you, He will never forsake you, He will always give you what you need, and lead you right where you belong. ⠀ Written by @morganhnichols for #TheDevoCo

I shared this a month ago, but with so many people taking exams/finals/revisions, I just wanted to share it again to encourage you to keep the faith and keep going! ⠀ I lift up my eyes to the mountains– where does my help come from? - Psalms 121:1 ⠀ Know who you are help comes from, even in school! Whether it’s the papers, the exams, trying to work and go to school simultaneously, it’s very easy to get burned out, even when you’re a bright student. Don’t let school get the best of you. Instead, through your relationship with Jesus Christ, let God strengthen you to bring the best OUT of you. ⠀ Written by @morganhnichols for #TheDevoCo

Confession: It is God’s desire to turn my life around, to make me the head and not the tail. I choose today to release all feelings of rejection, and instead seek God’s face so that He can change me and demonstrate to the world what only He can do.
