Titus.

Today I met with my pastor's wife who suggested I read the book of Titus. I'm in three different leadership positions at my church and she had it on her heart to share this book for encouragement and advice!

I am so uplifted, rejuvenated, and joyful by this book today!! So I thought I would share my favorite verses from it! :)

"Receive everything God our Father and Jesus our Savior give you!" 
- Titus 1: 4 

I like this because I think sometimes when we're trying to be humble we don't receive gifts, opportunities, or blessings like we should. Or on the flip side of that.. we take all that he has given for granted and we need to remember all that He has given us!!

"This new life is starting now, and is whetting our appetites for the glorious day when our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, appears. He offered himself as a sacrifice to free us from a dark, rebellious life into this good, pure life, making us people he can be proud of, energetic in goodness." 
- Titus 2: 13-14 

Ahhh this just fires me!! Thank you Lord for all that you have given us! I will gladly receive this gift to life a life with You!!!

"But when God, our kind and loving Savior God, stepped in, he saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Our Saviour Jesus poured out new life so generously. God's gift has restored our relationship with him and given us back our lives. And there's more life to come - an eternity of life! You can count on this." 
- Titus 3: 5-8 

PRAISE THE LORD!! PRAISE THE LORD!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
Thank You Jesus for your life you gave to us!!


get encouraged on this hump day! :)
