Acts 20:24 But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.

Is it just me or is this sorta where it’s at?! Oh I wish this were true of me and that I’m living this Word in my life!!! I’m not. Confession! But if you find a verse that isn’t true of you and where you are missing it, I encourage you to dive deep into until you are washed with the water of THAT SPECIFIC WORD you need in the moment. Write it on a note card. Put it on your bathroom mirror, in your car, in your purse or wallet. Get the very Word of God that is is filled with life so it will bring life to your dead situation. In heartache, I cried out to God as an addict would go toward the bottle or pills. Im addicted to Jesus and if you will get addicted to Him, in your times of trouble, He will lead you to life. In and of ourselves, we destroy the relationships that mean the most to us as we respond negatively when we are thrown off or something comes we don’t like or that’s unexpected. We’ve all done it so don’t look at me so holy! But God….!!! We are nothing without His help. We mess it all up. Even if we are right and they are wrong, God’s Word will still correct us and direct us and what they do or don’t do is on them. There is one person you can control and it’s yourself. And when you blow it like I do all the time, run to The Father who will embrace you and lovingly guide you back to His way of navigating things. 

For me, it’s this verse He led me to and I’m clinging to it that nothing moves me. It’s not my reality yet but He has me in such a place where He’s calling me higher so this verse accurately describes my life. Not at the moment but by faith it does and it can for you too! Not being moved by things that maybe even you know are not right or think are not right or do not line up with the Word that you so wish you could change (work or family or finances or friends situations …whatever it may be) Not being moved by it & not counting your life dear (not feeling sorry for yourself that they don’t care about your needs but rather focusing on what the other needs) is the key to finishing your course with joy and giving grace instead of maybe what you feel people deserve. 

Hope this helps you like it did me! 

Happy Monday!
