Faith in What We Don’t See⁠

“The fundamental fact of existence is that this trust in God, this faith, is the firm foundation under everything that makes life worth living. ⁠
It’s our handle on what we can’t see. ⁠
The act of faith is what distinguished our ancestors, set them above the crowd.” ⁠

- Hebrews 11⁠ MSG

24/07/2024

“The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; ⁠
his mercies never come to an end; ⁠
they are new every morning;⁠
great is your faithfulness.” ⁠

Each morning is a new opportunity to reflect on God’s work in your life. Each and every day, your slate is wiped clean by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.”⁠
- Lamentations 3:22-23⁠

THANK YOU JESUS ⁠

“The humble will see their God at work and be glad. Let all who seek God’s help be encouraged.”

‭‭- Psalms‬ ‭69‬:‭32‬ ‭NLT‬‬

22/07/2024

“God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him.

This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. Dear friends, since God loved us that much, we surely ought to love each other.

No one has ever seen God. But if we love each other, God lives in us, and his love is brought to full expression in us. And God has given us his Spirit as proof that we live in him and he in us.”
‭‭
- 1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭9‬-‭13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

One day the disciples come to Jesus asking him how to pray. Jesus responds and starts off by saying: Our Father in heaven, Holy is your name. Luke 11:2

- Philippians 4:8-9⁠

“Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.”⁠

Esther and the team plan to run more camps and events designed to inspire and encourage girls from all walks of life to discover their calling and identity in God's love for them. Check out our conversation below.

Reap what you sow.⁠

“The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.⁠
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.⁠”

- Galatians 6:7-10⁠

“Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.

He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see— such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.”
‭‭
~ Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭15‬-‭16‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Praise the Lord.⁠

Praise God in his sanctuary;⁠
praise him in his mighty heavens.⁠
Praise him for his acts of power;⁠
praise him for his surpassing greatness.⁠
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,⁠
praise him with the harp and lyre,⁠
praise him with timbrel and dancing,⁠
praise him with the strings and pipe,⁠
praise him with the clash of cymbals,⁠
praise him with resounding cymbals.⁠

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.⁠

Praise the Lord.⁠

- Psalm 150⁠
