I think God has spoken to me so many times through you, and I'm sure others honestly feel the same way. I mean, today it's what you said about life feeling hard even though it shouldn't be, and not reflecting Jesus like we should be, and then the encouraging whisper "no one is mediocre because He hand designed every facet of us all for a specific purpose". <br />- <a href="https://jemjoneswriter.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Jem Jones</a> <3Jem Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00283849842223000389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-4583359088406188632018-03-28T01:02:05.560+11:002018-03-28T01:02:05.560+11:00Lovely post- thank you for sharing!

Your encouragement is as timely as ever. "Sometimes you feel ordinary, and everyone seems to be able to do life better than you, and look prettier, and write better, and reflect Jesus more." That's where I was recently, but the truth is that Jesus can use every one of us for His glory. If we're writing for Him, all that matters is that we're doing what He called us to do. Nothing less, nothing more. ♥<br /><br />I love you, my friend.Hosanna Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12326767494489236766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1346274191957691135.post-25379513289514766412018-03-21T03:47:16.010+11:002018-03-21T03:47:16.010+11:00AMEN!
