UGA Wesley

One of my prayers for our community over the break was that we would be strengthened in the Spirit to persevere in our pursuit of God. With a new semester, a new schedule, new opportunities, we have an open door to move toward the Lord (or not). As a community, we have high hopes for our campus and city--desires to see yet-believers come to know Jesus, to see the broken restored and those that are bound up live in freedom.

And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end, that you may not be sluggish, but imitators of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises (Hebrews 6:11).

But I am afraid, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds should be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ (II Corinthians 11:3).

There are so many things that can divide our hearts and make our lives in God complex. My hope for us is that we will lean into God in new ways, trust him in things that have been difficult before and enjoy knowing him better.


Challenge. Pray for us that we would not lose heart or grow distracted and cluttered in our love of God. Ask the Lord how the pattern of your life helps/hurts the simplicity of your own devotion to Christ.
