Day 23: One By One

 
In God's Kingdom, every life has value. In Christ's Body, each person plays a part.

He has blessed you with uniqueness and worth. And the gift He has given you: it has purpose and influence beyond your reach.

In a world desperately needing to see, may His City grow as it has faded...one by one. By One.

Many candles. One Light.

  1. So very true. May we do our part to reach them - one by one. Also, thank you for sharing the Casting Crowns song. It spoke to my heart most deeply. The timing of seeing this could only be our God. Know that you have been used by Him today in ways you know not. May He bless you as deeply as you have blessed me!

    1. How wonderful! Isn't God's timing amazing?

      Believe it or not, I almost submitted something else yesterday... But the lyrics to this song really spoke to my heart this week, and I knew it was something I needed to share, though exactly when was still a question. I'm so thankful for the way God orchestrated this!

      God bless you, my friend...

  2. One-by-one... In my mind, as I read your post, I think of candles lighting one by one until there is a brilliant blaze of glory! Some much Truth and Wisdom here :)

    I met you at Beth's (Three Word Wednesday) - thanks for sharing!

    1. Good morning, Susan... Thanks so much for visiting!

      "A brilliant blaze of glory": oh, I just love this thought! I'm reminded of a Child born on a dark night long ago, a brilliant star no match for His radiant Light... One. Given once. For one, and one, and one and all.

      May He bless you on this new day!

  3. I just love this. Oh sweet friend I need to catch up on your series. "Where Depression Meets Grace." How did I miss that? This is powerful! Thank you for sharing the video too as I had not heard this song. Thank you for linking up for Three Word Wednesday. Blessings to you.

    1. Hi, Beth!

      Thanks again for Three Word Wednesday... It's a joy meeting up there each week!

      One by one... By One. A 3-in-1 One! What a model God has given us in His ever-relational Being, created as we are in His image!

      Thanks so much for your interest in the series, my friend. If it weren't for The Nester's 31-day challenge and some timely encouragement, I don't think I'd have attempted this blog in the first place!

      God bless you!

  5. Stopping by from Three Word Wednesday- just a powerful statement. One by one. Sometimes we are looking so hard for big results, when He works one by one by one, because each one is special. Awesome, thanks!

    1. Yes, how AWESOME our God is, to love us so inclusively and yet so uniquely at the same time... A God of vastness and infinite networks Who also cherishes detail and each individual life.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts today!
