CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
You don’t have to travel or gain to earn rest in God

1 Timothy 1:15-16: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners – of whom I [Paul] am the worst.  But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life.
MOLESKIN:
Paul was a really bad dude.  He hated Christians and and enjoyed killing them / watching them be killed for sport.  In the very midst of that, on a trip to Damascus to participate in more persecution, God met him.  God doesn’t need for us to achieve a certain status or clean up our act before he’ll meet us.  He seeks after us constantly and desires to meet us exactly where we are so that his grace and mercy can be put on display, and so our faith in him can grow more abundant.  You can’t earn it, so don’t allow your ego let you think that you need to put forth more effort before you call on him.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Congrats to Sprinkles on the announcement of his wife’s pregnancy!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Ephesians 2:19-22 – Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.  In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.  And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his spirit.

God is constantly pursuing us in an effort to draw nearer, and for the purpose of building us into the version of ourselves that is most useful to his kingdom.  Recognize that you are where you are, and with who you are with for a reason.  Take time to pray, read, and listen so that God can guide you to where he wants you to be and know that where God guides God provides.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I was effected by this quote I was reading yesterday about Jesus washing the feet of His disciples. First of all, he is heading towards his death and yet stops to serve them. Then, “Jesus served despite the unworthiness of the disciples. Notice John’s reminder that Jesus knew the betrayer was present. Jesus saw them all — one betrayer, one denier, all forsakers! When he needed them most, they would leave him. One of those sets of feet was dirty and sore from an errand that arranged for his torture and death. What did Jesus do? He washed those feet.”
