COT:
You Don’t Know Until You Know

There are some things in life you just can’t fully understand until you experience them yourself.

You can hear about them, read stories, watch others go through it—but until it happens to *you*, it doesn’t really sink in.

It might be becoming a parent. Falling in love. Losing someone. Taking a leap of faith. Hitting rock bottom. Or discovering a purpose bigger than yourself.

These moments change you. They shift your priorities. They crack you open—and suddenly, you realize there’s more inside you than you ever knew was there.

So here’s the challenge: stay open. Let yourself be changed. Let yourself grow. Because that’s where the real work—and the real reward—begins.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Proverbs 15:1 -A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
James 1:19 -Let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.

We are called to live out these verses as Christians. They require us to love others in a way that honors the individual and Christ.

Try and recognize where your emotional battery is at before going into a difficult conversation and rely on the Lord to strengthen you to love others well.

“Start Now”

Today might be the best chance you have to take action.

The longer you wait, the more deeply rooted you become in your current habits. Comfort sets in. Excuses get easier.

Change will never be easy—but it may never be easier than it is right now.

So if there’s something you’ve been putting off… start today. Take the first rep. Make the first move. This might be the best shot you get.

COT:
All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike. All is ephemeral—both memory and the object of memory. The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere.
– Marcus Aurelius

Tomorrow is also Pentecost. Birth of the church. We are creatures of a day and creatures of eternity.
