22 Things I Learned By 22

1. Life is a serious adventure!

2. We all have a purpose! And it’s easier to know the more you know your identity!

3. God is a good father! With all the discipline, all the love, all the guidance, strength, spoiling and care. And that’s amazing!

4. An open heart will discover a world of beauty. #newperspective

5. Holiness and love is both God’s will. And the two are actually very intertwined, and not one without the other.

6. Purpose, peace and purity are all found and made in God.

7. Theology > Ideology = Christ > Culture

8. Our feelings and wisdom can be so out of tune! We should align them if possible, but remembering “wisdom is always wisest” saves a lot of turmoil. (Spirit over the Flesh)

9. There is always hope with Christ! #savoir #light

10. Knowing you’re loved and have a purpose makes you a happier more optimistic person. But you don’t have to wait for people to vindicate you. God will graciously give you both in a measure that is incomparable.

11. God loves giving new beginnings! He’s merciful and gracious! #dependable #redemption

12. Music, Books, Films and even people vlogging on YouTube can be a great supportive vessel. So when you’re not surrounded by the examples you need as positive influence, take advantage of being able to search outside of your realm (and outside of what’s mainstream) for it! You’ll be surprised and encouraged by how many people share the same mentality and are already living that model.

13. We are not a one size fits all, and that’s ok. Embrace your uniqueness! Despite not always being understood, our differences can be appreciated.

14. There is no vanity in what lasts. Money, nature, adoration ect. will all waver and fade, but God will sustain His name forever.

15. Fight proves passion. You have to strive for what you’re passionate about!

16. Teach with grace and Learn with humility. If you’re intelligent but not kind, are you intelligent at all? We can all grow for the better of others so never refuse to learn.

17. Not everyone is shaped by their environment. God Himself can take a hold of a person and reshape and repurpose them for wonderful things!

18. God’s in everything! But so is the enemy’s counterfeit, so we should seek God’s heart.

19. There’s a real enemy who wants you to think God’s the bad guy, but God loves you, and He’s exposed the enemy’s lies in His word so you’ll be free! (scripture) He also promises to destroy Him completely in due time, so don’t be deceived.

20. God IS and IS amazing despite whether we know it and believe it or not. There are many realities outside of our experience. (objective truth)

21. There’s no one in heaven who didn’t struggle on earth. So our present struggles should never discourage us from loving life when we know God created it for His children’s eternal good.

22.God speaks very differently from the world. He calls success salvation and perfect love. And if He gives us a calling no one can take it away from us, or rename our worth or success.
