Matthew 10:22-25

Jesus said to his disciples: ‘You will be hated by all men on account of my name; but the man who stands firm to the end will be saved. If they persecute you in one town, take refuge in the next; and if they persecute you in that, take refuge in another. I tell you solemnly, you will not have gone the round of the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

On this Thurby as we ready ourselves for this beautiful day I hear the word spoken to my heart “Don’t get stuck in an unhappy place.” What I hear the Lord say to his disciples is have the freedom and courage to change your environment. He does not want them stuck in a place they are not welcome, because that feeling sometimes sips into your soul and you start not liking yourself. He asked them to find a way, to create space.

My friend, be like water and find a way. That’s the only way to stay fresh.

Love you
