God made you, and he has commissioned you to be a unique part of bringing heaven to earth. Don't shy away from it, this is a holy and amazing calling he has given all of us.
God is full of grace and mercy, and he is so eager to welcome us back to him. When we fall more and more in love with God we care less about the outward appearance, and increasingly more about a pure heart.
"But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!"
Such a cautionary teaching for all of us. Seek the light, constantly. Keep making sure that the light looks, feels, talks, and walks like Jesus. Otherwise, the light we think we have might actually be darkness.

A reminder for us today:
God is always near, always wanting to help.
"One of the hardest things in the world is to be right and not hurt other people with it."
- Dallas Willard
Is there someone you know that you've built a relationship that is ready to learn more about Jesus? It's an incredible gift you could give them.
Is there something that continually worries you? Today, take a few extra minutes to tell God about it, don't hold anything back.
And then, spend an extra few minutes thanking God for what he has already done in your life.
"The most important thing in your life is not what you do; it's who you become. That's what you will take into eternity."

Music to bring God’s peace and presence to your day.
I love creating Christian instrumental music to help you draw closer to Jesus. Here's a quick story of how this channel started and the goodness of God in growing our community:
I started uploading music in 2016 and this community began! In those early days, I was teaching full-time at a music college. Unexpectedly, in December of 2017 the college announced it was closing. No one would be paid and the closure would be effective immediately. It was heartbreaking.
But then I saw a move of God. This channel grew 10x within a matter of days! Our community has been growing ever since. God knew that one door was closing, and he was opening another.
Thank you for being here! It is my sincere honor to make this music for you, and I hope it is a daily reminder of God's peace and presence.
Let's pursue Jesus together so we can bring the love of Jesus to the world. 🤍
