Here's a quote from my devotions this morning.
"Every time I deliberately disobey a command of God, it is because I am in the moment doubtful as to God's true intentions in giving me that command. Does He really have my best interests at heart? Or is He withholding something from me that I would be better off having? Such questions, whether consciously asked or not, lie underneath every act of disobedience.
However, the gospel changes my view of God's commandments, in that it helps me to see the heart of the Person from whom those commandments come. When I begin my train of thought with the gospel, I realize that if God loved me enough to sacrifice His Son's life for me, then He must be guided by that same love when He speaks His commandments to me. Viewing God's commands and prohibitions in this light, I can see them for what they really are: friendly signposts from a heavenly Father who is seeking to love me through each directive, so that I might experience His very fullness forever.
When controlling my thoughts as described above, the gospel cures me of my suspicion of God, thereby disposing me to walk more trustingly on the path of disobedience to His commands."
~Milton Vincent

What will you leave behind?
I want to leave a legacy How will they remember me? Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough To make a mark on things? I want to leave an offering A child of mercy and grace who blessed your name unapologetically And leave that kind of legacy.
How do you want your friends to remember you? Were you a friend who always pointed them to the cross or toward the world?
What things in your life need to change in order to leave a biblical legacy?

Celebrating Reconciliation
Girls,
We all just returned from Celebration and it can be so easy to get back to normal life and forget what we've been taught this past weekend. Take a minute and share 1 thing that impacted you the most. Make sure to share it with your parents and your accountability partner too.
