Stop caring about what others think of you. Stop caring about tomorrow. Stop caring about what others care about when they are walking in fear. Stop caring about the plans of man. Stop caring about how you are going to make it three weeks from now. Just plain stop caring about all the things that cause you to fear or get your eyes off of God and His promises.

If you turn your heart to care only about the things Jesus cares about, your life will take on unimaginable purpose. He likes that! He will be part of everything you do from that moment on.

If you have chosen to become everything you can be in Christ, you are a gift to a dying world. Your closeness to Jesus allows you to receive His character, His ability to love, and His knowledge of the Father's will as you dig in deep and listen to His heart. That means you have valuable wisdom to share with those who are wondering how to make it through life.

Your exhibition of the life of Christ makes you a valuable gift to anyone who is observing your life. Make no mistake, people are watching you because you have said you follow Jesus. They need what He has. Will they find Him in you? Will you show them enough of Him for them to embrace the gift that He is?

Did you know you are becoming an amazing work of art? You're being made into a living masterpiece, fashioned with precision by the Holy Spirit. You are going to be a masterpiece!

Every great work of art has small beginnings. Every one looks a little crude until the final pieces are in place or the final brush strokes have been painted. Some of the most brilliant works haven't been recognized for their value until after many years of sitting in some obscure corner. That period, although seemingly unimportant, may have been needed to increase the value. No matter how your life in Christ may appear, whether you're noticed or unnoticed, whether you feel you have little or even no worth, Father God is creating a masterpiece and it's you!

Does the Lord love you? Absolutely! Is He concerned for your spiritual welfare? You bet! Does He know your needs? Yes! But guess what. He is asking you to realize it, remember it, and believe it.

Armed with the full confidence of Father God's love for you, He wants you to refocus your life and start living for the best interests of others. If you really trust that the Lord will always be there for you, start laboring for others. Start looking for needs and fill them in the Name of Jesus. Have your life mean something by living for the best interests of those around you. Your best example is the One Who hung on the cross centuries ago. Follow Him!

I think those might be the words the Lord has for His church in these confusing days. After entertaining all the rhetoric, conclusions, and ideas concerning what steps each of us needs to take, and satisfying our fears by listening to the loudest voices, I am convinced that God is whispering to the heart of those who will listen. He is saying, "Lock yourself up with Jesus and allow His Holy Spirit to tell you truth!"

If busy days and worrisome nights are consuming your life, Jesus is the answer. Father God is your source. The Holy Spirit is your safety. Listen to what They are saying. Your days will mean so much more during this time!
