May grace and peace be yours in increasing abundance.  

- 1 Peter 1:1b

We can get too complicated, trying to volunteer, influence children, pay off debt, create the perfect post, etc.

What is a Kingdom definition of success?

Did Jesus give His limitless, boundless mercy so you can be in constant fear, worry and anxiety trying to keep up with today’s culture of perfection?

NO!

Jesus gives us His mercy that we can have renewed hope without the controls of what is happening around us.

TODAY: Grace and peace are the highest of prizes on earth. Help me to be preoccupied with these things! I will meditate on the Lord at all times. You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast [trusting in you]. (Isaiah 26)

Blessed be...the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant and boundless mercy has caused us to be born again to an ever-living hope and confident assurance 1 Peter 1:3
