Regularly taking a moment to pause, praise and give thanks may seem insignificant, but I am convinced that our habits are constantly forming us into the people we are becoming. If you're like me and you tend to get caught up in the busyness of the day, take a moment now and ask God to grow in you a heart of constant gratitude! He hears your prayers and desires to help you!

The story of God’s redemption in Jesus Christ is at the core of who we are as believers and it is meant to be the foundation for everything we do. It is the greatest story of all time! May it shape the way we worship, live and share God's love with others. If you do what you're already doing with this kind of intentionality, you will find that people are curious why, which will lead to opportunities to share Christ with others and lead them in worshiping Him.

What I’m getting at is this; it's what Christ has done that makes us who we are and that is something worth sharing. I hope the work of Christ is so present in our lives, that we can't explain any part without including him in it! As believers It is my prayer that we are more proud of who we are because of what Christ has done than we are about what we have done because…ultimately, where would we be without him?
