Our Christian Condition by Kevin Murray | Jul 28, 2023 | Encouragement | 0 comments In our dear Christian faith, we learn that going to church and sharing the experience of worshipping God together is wonderful; that opening the Bible at any time and mining the riches of God’s very words is divine...

Opening your heart to God means being wrapped in eternal, unyielding love. What are some meaningful instances in which you see that love at work in your life?

It's altogether common for us to spend our days looking from screen to screen - so much so, in fact, that communing with nature and taking a moment to relax must sometimes be planned into our calendars. How do you work mindfulness, reflection, and prayer into your week?

When you walk along your life's journey with Jesus in your heart, every step is a step forward - even if it doesn't always feel like it.

Though our lit-up cities might tell us otherwise, there's a magnificent night sky overhead. If you can, take some time soon to drive just far enough from the city lights to get a glimpse of it - it truly is a spiritual experience.

Growing in intimacy with the Lord is not a religion. God does not call us to a set of dictums, rules, and regulations. He calls us to a relationship. He calls us to Himself. It is through this growing relationship that we experience transformation and learn to fully love others.

Before we align with God, it is all we know in one sense. Yet in another sense, we always knew something was missing if we are honest with ourselves. We sensed something was up long before we knew something was up. “The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing” -Blaise Pascal.

Something life-changing is meant for us—we sense it. Something that will change the trajectory of all else. Our destiny awaits. We will be looking at your storyline to retrace your steps and discover what that destiny is.

Your life-journey has been vast. Consider the ground you have covered. From the family of origin God put you in, to the playgrounds of early childhood, to the joys and heartaches of adolescent relationships, to all the experiences along the way to adulthood, it is clear: You have a unique storyline (Can you name one other person with your same one?) It has led to the person you are today. And to the path you are on.

Spending today trying to focus on what counts! I find that connecting with nature on a daily basis, even in small ways like breathing in some fresh air on the porch in the morning, helps to calm the mind and practice gratitude for the countless blessings that surround us all. How do you incorporate mindfulness and gratitude into your everyday routine?

"[He] who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever" (Psalm 136:6). No matter how the tides are moving or changing in your life, remember that you are intentionally led and eternally loved.

It is a GOOD MORNING! I figured I would do a today. I am Kevin Murray - the founder of Encourage to Faith Ministries. After twenty-eight years immersed in the commercial real estate world in Atlanta, Georgia, I left the familiarity of the company I co-founded to wholeheartedly follow my passion—encouraging others in their walk with the Lord. I am passionately engaged in sharing Christ-centered life principles through writing, teaching, speaking, and mentoring, all for the purpose of inspiring others to grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Originally from South Florida, I moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where I received my BBA from Georgia State University. I have four children and two grandchildren. I currently reside in Tampa, Florida. In my free time, I am an avid sports fan, marveling at nature, and most of all, I enjoy building relationships.
