CONNECTING WITH GOD- I’m coming to you from a peaceful Sunday morning, resting in the Lord and reflecting on a powerful message from the Jesus Calling app (September 15th reading). Today, I want to talk about what it means to truly rest- not just physically, but to find rest for your soul. We’ll explore how we can let go of striving and lean into the truth that God’s love is unconditional and His righteousness is already ours through Christ. It’s a message of hope, peace, and freedom from condemnation, one I believe is timely for all of us.

Listener Challenge:

Here’s a challenge for you this week, friends: Take a moment every day to sit in stillness and simply rest in God’s presence. No agenda, no striving—just be. As you do, reflect on these truths:

1. You are already righteous in Christ—there is nothing you can do to earn God’s love. It’s yours.

2. Let go of striving—release the need to perform or prove yourself, and instead, walk in confidence, knowing who you are in Him.

3. Listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit—pay attention to the difference between condemnation and conviction. When God speaks to you, He calls you toward growth with love, not shame.

Finally, I invite you to meditate on this scripture: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13. Reflect on how Jesus laid down His life for you, His friend, and how that changes everything.
