Hebrews 13v20-21

May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

You can truly come to God as you are. It's awesome. All He wants is you, you don't have to be good enough because no-one is, you just have to be who you are and put all your trust in Him. Put your life in His hands. It's the safest place you can ever be!

Then He promises to equip us with all we need for all the plans and purposes He has for us. He provides everything, it's amazing! What I really find wonderful about this verse is that He promises to 'work in us what is pleasing to him'. I know a lot of times there's stuff in my life and in my heart that isn't pleasing to Him, but He promises to deal with all that, and work into my life and into my heart things that are pleasing to Him. As He does that and as we continue to trust Him we become more like Christ.

Whatever we go through, no matter how horrible or uncomfortable, it's never ever wasted. That's such a comfort. It's also exciting because we can know that God is working in us no matter our current circumstances...He is achieving His purposes in our life.

And this is all REAL, it's not just a nice idea! God has made promises to us, there are millions of them, we just have to realize that they are ours. God is waiting to fulfill them in us right now, go and find out God's promises and believe that He will accomplish them in your life!

Often we expect so little from God. God is bigger than we can ever imagine and all things are possible in Him. Just start to dream bigger dreams and pray bigger prayers...prayers that seem impossible! Then see God answer them, see Him move.

Do it.
