That's right! It's easy to think that once you give something away, you've lost it; but in today's episode, Grace shares the exact opposite. Whatever you "sacrifice" as God's extension on earth would come back to you in multiple folds. If this episode blesses you, share it with at least one person.
We've all been there, at that point where we feel like we don't have the capacity to accomplish a task or we have done something wrong AGAIN, and the shame pushes us to run and hide.

We all know those seasons when things are working just right, no fuss, no stress, just good vibes. We sometimes wish those moments would last forever. In today's episode, Grace touches on how our comfort zone can become "dangerous" if we don't utilize it properly.

Like a fruit on a tree can only thrive when it's attached and REMAINS on the tree, so is our life on earth as God's children. We cannot flourish and have DIVINE results if we do not remain and abide in God. When we are cut from God, the fruits we have would wither in now time. We need to ABIDE IN CHRIST, 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week and all through the year.
In our every day live and daily decisions, we can choose to seek our opinions, our experiences, our expertise or seek God first. To seek is to earnestly crave something, go hard for something. We are not supposed to do life by ourselves, we have the Holy Spirit to guide us daily. Let's normalize seeking God first and consistently.
