FROM THE KEYBOARD

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: Jesus moved so graciously that even His steps toward Calvary were steps of liberty. And since He lives within you, let that freedom and grace cover you. You may feel "bound to your circumstances," but Gods peace can be found in any circumstances.

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "Draw close to God and He will draw close to you" (James 4:8). Get so close to God that you can echo His character, conduct, and conversation. Nothing in this world will make us more useful than this.

You want #goals for a relationship? Then pursue Jesus with your heart and watch His reflection in you attract His absolute best for you. That's truth. Conversely, never settle for someone who is going to cheapen your worth because they don't know what God says you're worth. Meaning, if they don't value the things God values, then how would they know how to value you!?

Matthew Maher presents Daily Dose: "No one can snatch [you] out of the Father's hand" (John 10:29). No matter how roughly life has handled you, never forget Whose hand ultimately holds you. The Father's hand.

The reflection of a healthy marriage doesn't look like each other, it looks like Jesus. You see, it is not my job to make my spouse into my image, but to lead her to be secure in Creator Gods image--it's His image within that the husband assists in bringing out. Thus, I dare not mold her, but simply unfold her.

To be a "doer of the Word" is to be a poet of the Word, where even past tragic lines become perfect present rhymes. You see, God uses everything we go through as a way for His grace and poetry to flow through. My life is proof. I mean, who would have ever imagined that I'd be teaching out of a book that I authored? Not me. Only God.
