Like a duck with his tail in the air, plunge the bill of your faith in Jesus deep into the water and feed on the goodness that God gives to those who trust in Him.

I would encourage you today to focus on getting up underneath the problems of others, to bear one another’s burdens, and watch God be glorified through such work. We’ll fulfill the law of Christ as His children if we will carry it all together. It’s part of why the Church exists.
Jesus came to lift others up so that they would see and know God. In the midst of genuine ministry people’s hearts are oriented in such away that grace breaks through darkness. God shows up to the funeral called “life” and signs His name. Then, when we see the name of love and grace, our hearts are warmed amidst the chill of trial.
When things get tough and all seems dark, hold it up to the light. Watch the light of God stream through the black of your night. Your problems and troubles are not solid stones, but rather smokey glass that just need a little light behind them. The light is there, just hold it up.
Just as Mary Ann reflected the glory of the Lord in her life, so we, too, are to fade into the background so that Jesus may take center stage.
“Do not be anxious” is an easy command to follow when you are focused on rejoicing in Christ.
