Unseen Study ~ Chapter 12
I can’t pretend to know how Mary felt as she anointed Jesus with the oil. It is a little overwhelming to think about me in her place and although I can’t “change places” with her I am called to live a life that is devoted, surrendered and saturated with Jesus, hidden in Him – aContinue reading “Unseen Study ~ Chapter 12”

Thirsty for Jesus… “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God.” Psalm 42:1 When I am at my weakest I thirst for more of Jesus.

Wasting ourselves on God… “God’s currency is communion – a relationship that grows, nearer still. A depth of relationship that feeds the recipient in the way that productivity and accomplishment just cannot. What a waste. What a beautiful waste.” – (Pg 125) Sara in the airport, people watching and praying for strangers, wanting to encounterContinue reading “Unseen Study ~ Chapter 7”

“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness’” Genesis 1:26 We are image bearers of God, pretty cool, huh? Yet time and time again I have to be reminded of that very thing. In my pursuit to be seen I try to look like everyone else, to fit in orContinue reading “Unseen Study ~ Chapter 6”

“I was falling in love with God through pain, caring less and less what others thought of me” – Sara H. (pg 83) I have battled through what other people thought of me, that people pleasing battle and self-image, that pride kept me from surrendering to Jesus for a long time. Boy am I selfish,Continue reading “Unseen Study ~ Chapter 5”

Our call to greatness, not all the BIG things we do (Mary’s good thing…that will be remembered…) loving Jesus, being with Him, paying attention to Him, putting Him first! “My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret” Psalm 139:16 God has created each of us for greatness. Not the greatnessContinue reading “Unseen Study ~ Chapter 4”
