The Introverted Evangelist

Live Wisely Live Fearlessly : " Pray that I will proclaim this message clearly and fearlessly as I should. Be wise when you engage with those outside the faith community; make the most of every moment and every encounter. " ( Colossians 4:4-5) Set sail ! Let the refreshing breeze of God's love whisk away every trace of fear. Surrender your ship, and allow your vessel to be wholly His. Let Him splash His grace-rich glory all over you.  Don't drop an anxious anchor and stand still , too afraid to live courageously.  You're not ruled by those fears any longer ! His love has cleared away those tyrannical forces and given you a new name -  called ,  free ,  chosen ,  healed ,  strong , and  cherished . So what are we so scared of?  What can anything in this life take away from us ? Hasn't He promised? Won't He stay true to His Word? Everything we'll ever need and all the dreams planted deep inside our hearts?  Secured . All is safe in the han...

Be Energetic In God: "[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight." (Philippians 2:13 AMP) Keep going. God's plan is worth obeying. There's so much more to this life than struggling through. God doesn't want you to merely survive. He wants you to glow, shine, and radiate His life and energy. He will give you that energy and joy, if you'll simply obey and trust Him. His energy will sustain you. His energy will overflow in you, giving you that "future you hope for" as mentioned in Jeremiah 29:11. Obedience is worth it. That joy will be worth it. Recovering is worth it. His energy will be worth it. Trust, my dear. Trust, and follow His way. He won't leave you. He won't forsake you. He is good, and He is kind. Leave all your fear behind. -The Introverted Evangelist

Hope in Christ - Verse Meditation: "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life." (Proverbs 13:12) Secure your hope solely in Him, for only He can satisfy out longing hearts. We hunger for a hope that doesn't disappoint, and this pure form of hope is only found in Christ our Lord. Let's pursue Him this day and everyday. Let's run after Him. Let's anchor our hope in Him, and run with endurance the race He's set for each one of us. He is good. He is marvellous. He is glorious. He is our everything. Amen. -The Introverted Evangelist

I Live to Love You Lord : " For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent,  to be well pleasing to Him ." (2 Corinthians 5:7-9) I just want to live for You , God. I want to live my life, not to gain the approval of others, but to please and to serve You, my Gracious King. I want to see Your Will be done. It's so hard living in this fallen world, but I know You've put me here - in this city and in this season - for a reason. In surrendering trust, I put aside all pride and joyfully proclaim, " Have Your way in me, O Lord!  All I am is Yours ! " -The Introverted Evangelist (Photograph Taken by: @instagramvancouver)

Diligent Dependence : " So you must live as God’s obedient children. Don’t slip back into your old ways of living to satisfy your own desires. You didn’t know any better then. " (1 Peter 1:14) If I even begin to glance back at the place out of which I've come (that deep, dark detriment), I've already fallen...  The key to decidedly demolishing my destructive addictions is to diligently depend on my divine Saviour . No turning back. This is the new. This is living now.  All for Him . My everything laid down, so I won't turn around.  I'm committed to Christ , and this is my life. This is who I am now -  completely His , and  complete in Him . -The Introverted Evangelist

Release and Receive : " My child, listen to me and do as I say, and you will have a long, good life. I will teach you wisdom’s ways and lead you in straight paths. When you walk, you won’t be held back; when you run, you won’t stumble. Take hold of my instructions; don’t let them go. Guard them, for they are the key to life. " (Proverbs 4:10-13) Come, dear child, come receive My grace and strength for your every need - your every weakness.  I will carry you to a new beginning . I, your Great Redeemer, can  restore to you the joy of living life  unhindered. No longer will your muscles ache and body cry out - dying and wasting away.  I will prosper you , I promise you. Trust Me. Walk with Me. Come  take hold of My gracious gifts . I withhold no good thing from you. Therefore,  you're free to abandon all that you try to control in your own strength ...  Release and receive ... I have an amazing plan for you. Your  trusting obedience is the key that u...

Selah Saturday - Psalms 145 : " For your kingdom is an  everlasting kingdom . You rule throughout all generations.  The LORD always keeps his promises ; he is gracious in all he does. The LORD helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand,  you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing . The LORD is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness.  The LORD is close to all  who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth ." (Psalms 145:13-18) For all You've done this week, my Lord, I will pause and reflect...  Selah ... How gracious You've been. Oh how Your kind Heart has been revealed to me.  Your generous Spirit overwhelms me . I am in awe. You're so good, my God. You're so good, and  I praise You with all that I am . I will worship You for all that You are... You are the merciful, righteous, and gloriou...

#JOY . Joy that can't be explained must be shared, and can't be contained. When I trust in His heart, His love gives me a new start. His promises will hold true; He is making all things new. JOY. Joy is in store, I will trust forevermore. #HeHasAPlan #AbundantLife #OnlyGoodThingsAhead #BestEver . #MadeWithYouVersion #YouVersion
