It can all be sitting there just waiting for us to pick it up, but we have to make the time and mental space to pick it up! And do so regularly.</p> <p>I think this is a season of "inventory" for me. I get so discouraged that I'm not more loving or helpful or compassionate or patient! (haha), this devotional gently reminded me that if I keep plugging away doing the very specific things He tells us, my life will be useful and productive...that's a great and comforting and PRECIOUS promise! I have also found it so very true that If I seek God first and give him my firsts of everything...he blesses the rest of everything. It has been the surest, best investment in the quality of my life other anything else by far Pastor Tony, thank you for initiating this wonderful forum for learning and growing with other Fusioners...awesome!</p> Praise God that he has already given us everything we need to lead a productive and useful life!! if I’m being honest that just reminds me of how far I still have to go in my walk….thats why I love the important distinction about responding.

Thank you for this one, which is an important reminder that we do not accomplish anything in and of ourselves. We do not need to have talent or ability in order to be used of God - we only need a willing heart offered up to Him, and obedience, to accomplish wonderful things in His name.</p> Tony, thank you for your devotional and the time, energy and dedication required to produce it.

The topics are hitting right at home for me (where I am in my life right now). Psalm 118:5 is now my daily affirmation!

It appears to me, if a person stays focused and totally in Gods love, truly believe in his word and promises that ‘All’ things are possible and achievable (Got to have faith). I agree that faith is now required at the highest levels within our hearts and that some things may appear to be off centered in the world today….. But it will get better because God wants us to love, be happy and help others. So let’s continue to look for ways to come together as family and overcome ‘Worldly’ obstacles. Thank you again for this remarkable experience and time to share my thoughts with you this morning as well. I will also like to personally thank Pastor Tony and the entire Fusion church family for positively impacting so many people in our community. </p> Thank you for this opportunity to share my thoughts and to receive the word of God and communication from other Fusion family members.
