WOULD YOU RATHER:
Perfect yourself, or experience Christ;
Look at your fruit, or look at your Lord;
Fake a spiritual rapport, or humbly cry-out;
Speak a likeable word, or speak the Truth;
Be fixed, or be fixated on Jesus;
Be enjoyed, or enjoy God;
Go and make, or stay and be made?

God sees what you're carrying and knows what you're fighting to hold-up. But hear Him say today that His power is made made perfect in your weakness. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Lean into Him, love into His strengths, and let His shadow be your peace. Your darkest darkness is often closest to the dawn.

"And turning His gaze toward His disciples, Jesus began to say, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man."
Luke 6:20-22

Lord, we need Your strength to be weak. We need Your hope to be still.
Lead us there.
Lead us to Your narrow, but freeing path. To Your unnatural, but supernatural presence.
Lead us to You, Father. That is all we need.
Lead us to You. That is all we’d rather need.
