Who has impacted your life? & If so, how?
Those that surround you, especially at a very young age, have a significant impact on your life. Learning this, first hand, was Timothy. Early on, impacting Timothy, in his spiritual development, were his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice (see 2 Timothy 1:5). Because of these ladies efforts, Timothy learned how to live a faithful life (see 3:14-15). May your life, too, be blessed with such people that have and have had a positive and profound impact in your life, just as Timothy experienced. #ImpactfulPeople #MakingALastingImpression

How do you know if you have a good one?
Friendships come and go; but real ones last. Take David and Jonathan's friendship. When David defeated Goliath, "Jonathan became one spirit with David" (1 Samuel 18:1); and remained so even after "his father's shameful treatment of David" (20:34). It is not until moments like this that you know that you have a good one. Might you be blessed enough to have one in your life time. #ATrueFriend

How can you comprehend the magnitude of the world?
Amongst everything, you are only a speck in this great wide world, as He surrounds you, but separately, with both light and darkness (see Genesis 1:3-4). With this separation, you are shown the beauty of His creation, in every possible way. So, might you try, little by little, and take a moment, each day, to appreciate and give thanks, to Him, for allowing you to be here to enjoy and experience something so special and beyond comprehension. #TakeItAllIn

How do you view your life, in light of living and dying?
Knowing, but not knowing when, each day brings us closer to our mortal end. As disparaging as this may seem (see Psalm 88:3), there is still something very reassuring and comforting about death. Those who are not afraid of dying or facing death see life's true meaning, ever so clearly, because of Him. For His "death has been swallowed up in victory" (1 Corinthians 15:54); thereby revealing and providing "living water" (John 4:10), life, to those who believe. Instead, your death will be the beginning, not the end, of your life. Might you find comfort in knowing this now and when that time arrives. #PeaceOfMind

How can you remain hopeful in your lament?
Life will always burden you with something; but even so, you can still remain hopeful in your grief and sorrow. For when you "put your hope in God" (Psalm 43:5), He will make all things as they should be. So, now, might you ask yourself if you are you still downcast (see 43:5). #HeHearsAndHealsYourHurts

How do you shed the cockleburs?
Life is filled with cockleburs. As difficult as it is to get rid of them, you are reminded to remain "sincere" in your love, "hate what is evil", and most importantly, "cling to what is good" (Romans 12:9). For when you do so, you remain focused and "devoted" to other's in love and "honor" them above yourself (12:10), and without falter. #ForgeAheadWithFocus & #Goodness

What causes you to live in fear?
Nothing is truly certain; and if you allow yourself to live in fear, you will have a hard time experiencing life. It is when you call out and ask Him to rescue you, just as David did, (see 2 Samuel 22:18, 20, 49), that you will be able to live without fear. For "the Lord is [your] rock,...[your] stronghold, [your] refuge and [your] savior" (22:2-3). Might you fear no more, with Him. #SeizeTheMoment & #LetYourFearsGo

How can vulnerability ease your suffering or another's?
When you allow yourself to be vulnerable, you begin to heal your hurts; and possibly those whom you surround yourself with. And, in these vulnerable moments, hopefully, you, and others like you, will come together, in transparency, and help in each other's recovery. So, instead of carrying the load alone, may you lighten it by "carrying each other's burdens" (Galatians 6:2). #TackleItTogether

How can you help those in need?
Many that are truly in need will not ask for help. Instead, they will suffer in silence, because they view receiving help as charity. So, instead of making a big deal, might you take it upon yourself, subtly or anonymously, to identify and do something that would help them. When you have a heart like He does, he takes notice of your actions and will richly reward you (see Ruth 2:21). Might you bless another, as well as yourself, with your kindness and generosity. #EaseTheStruggle #WithAGenerousHeart

How comfortable are you with being followed?
Whether you know it or not, you are being intentionally followed, every day. This follower is doing so because they want to share their goodness and love with you all the days of your life (see Psalm 23:6). So, instead of feeling discomfort, might you rest easy and have peace of mind knowing that this follower always has your back and best interests at heart. #EnjoyThePursuit
