Sunday our worship leader, Sam, led us in singing these words: All-consuming fire fall on us! We surrender all to You. Do what You want to. God, we long to see You move. Later that night, my family sat around a fire pit and got to watch flames burn the branches of a dead tree from our yard. It has been a reminder that God is busy making us a new creation as we surrender to His work in our lives. None of us is ever too far from the reach of our good, loving God.

Whether you need renewal for burnout, healing for grief, hope for recovery, peace for anxiety, or salvation from brokenness, God is ready with a kind hand. God’s specialty is bringing new life from death, hope from the tomb. I pray you feel encouraged today and may each of us use every opportunity given in the days to come to express this hope to those we meet.

Blessings for the journey,

Anne
