"This is where an ancient piece of wisdom becomes remarkably contemporary:

"'Trust in the LORD with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom.
Instead, fear the LORD and turn away from evil.'
(Proverbs 3:5–7 NLT)

"Notice where the passage begins. It doesn’t begin with understanding. It begins with trust" (Michael L. Forney).

"'I just want to encourage daughters of the King. Celebrate your fruitfulness. Celebrate it loud. I trust the humility of God in you, but as the people of God, we don’t celebrate things that God is doing in and through us really well,' said [Bishop Fraser] Venter, who encouraged writing down areas where God is using you. 'It’s not for your own ego boost; it’s to remember what God is doing and why He called you.'"

Sanctification
"Sanctification is that saving work of God beginning with new life in Christ whereby the Holy Spirit renews His people after the likeness of God, changing them through crisis and process, from one degree of glory to another, and conforming them to the image of Christ.

"As believers surrender to God in faith and die to self through full consecration, the Holy Spirit fills them with love and purifies them from sin. This sanctifying relationship with God remedies the divided mind, redirects the heart to God, and empowers believers to please and serve God in their daily lives.

"Thus, God sets His people free to love Him with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love their neighbors as themselves" (The Statements of Belief of the Free Methoidst Church USA).

"They brought noodle packs, pamphlets and a message: 'Jesus loves you.' I stood there holding their gifts and asked myself, 'How could anyone love me, a boy whose parents had looked past him ...? How?" (Superintendent Pakep). Explore more of "From Bo***ge to Belonging" in the latest issue of Heartbeat by visiting https://buff.ly/YE5UK2X.
