EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.” (1 Peter 3:3-4)

Our God is an amazing creator that sets up landscapes that are breathtaking; still waters that reflect the brilliant colors of the skies. His majestic creations leave us in awe at the power of His hands.

More impressive is that He creates humanity; living, breathing unique mortals with a purpose to live devoted to Him and through Him. We were meant to reflect His image, a bright light that emulates the pure characteristics of His attributes.

He helps us daily to strive for excellence in all we do and to align our acts to His expectations so that we walk in dignity and honor. Every day is a challenge to walk by His standards and speak of His greatness. We must see ourselves through His eyes and accept the beauty He has created within our lives.

Our true value and worth lie in His hands, and we should settle for nothing less.
