My new favorite of all time!!</p> <p> I feel like God sent this directly to me this morning. I think a lot of my life has become an example of things that used to work but don't anymore. What you reinforced for me this morning is , that's OK, and actually a GREAT thing! I feel so blessed with so much good in my life...but truthfully, I feel God saying, we gotta move out some of this good to get to the great! (It's easy to prune out the bad stuff, but when the good stuff starts shipping out, I'm thinking "now wait a second!".) Instead of mourning it, I feel like celebrating it! God wants to do more and BETTER things in my life....how cool and wonderful is that? Who am I to deserve that? Tony you just so elequently and susinctly said what I think I knew in my heart...but just never actually heard articulated in such a clear and compelling way. I can't tell you the hope and excitement I feel...thank you Tony!</p> <p>I also think I've been too focused on the outcomes (basically I'm confused...I'm trying to be God which isn't exactly working out!) I just need to let God decide what fruit he wants to produce...I just need to stay connected to Him and obey....which is much easier than determining what the heck I'm suppose to be producing!!!!</p> <p>I could go on and on...thank you Tony for being such a wonderful and true example of a Christ follower...I'm so incredibly inspired!</p> WOW this was an amazing message ! My new favorite of all time!!

Much appreciated!</p> <p>The points that touched me were:<br /> 1)Fruit happens! What a relief that I don't have to make that fruit myself.<br /> 2)The Ask/Receive/Glorify life cycle. If you are consistantly in the Word then you will ASK for the things/situations that God wants for you, then you will RECEIVE what you ask for. You will then GLORIFY God for what He has given you. What a great way to live!<br /> 3)Joy - When you obey God you will have complete joy, then you will Glorify God.</p> <p>What a great plan God has put together for our lives. All we have to do is follow, He does all the work, we have joy in our lives and He gets the glory. Praise God!</p> Thanks Tony for the time you have spent preparing these devotionals.
