Good morning….Thank You, Lord, for Friday!

🔥 DISCERNMENT DOESN’T JUST SHOW YOU WHO IS IN THE DITCH. IT SHOWS YOU WHEN GOD IS ASKING YOU TO HELP PULL THEM OUT.

But identifying somebody’s problem doesn’t automatically make us discerning.

Sometimes the most spiritually mature person in the room isn’t the one who spotted the problem first. It’s the one willing to climb into the trenches and help restore the person.

Galatians 6:1 says, “If someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.”

Notice the assignment: RESTORE.

Discernment may absolutely tell you that something is wrong. It may warn you about deception. It may tell you to establish a boundary or even distance yourself from someone. Discernment is necessary.

But genuine discernment should never become an excuse for pride, cruelty, gossip, humiliation, or celebrating somebody’s failure.

Jesus could see people’s sin more clearly than anyone—and yet broken people were drawn to Him. Why? Because truth came with mercy! He didn’t compromise truth, but He also wasn’t standing at a distance throwing rocks at wounded people.

There is a HUGE difference between recognizing that someone is in a ditch and standing over them saying, “See! I knew there was something wrong with you!”

The Body of Christ needs discernment desperately. But we also need compassion, humility, restoration, and love.

Because one day, YOU may be the one in the ditch.

And when that day comes, you won’t need another finger pointing at you.

You’ll need a hand reaching for you.

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” —1 Peter 4:8

🔥 Let’s become people who can discern what is wrong without losing our compassion for the person who is struggling. May the Sheep Shed continue to be a “house of restoration “….we hope to see you this Sunday at the Sheep Shed. Have a blessed day!

Are you in a troubling situation? Call out to God!

When we call out to the living God, something changes. We are not praying into empty space or speaking words that disappear into the air. We are crying out to the Creator of heaven and earth, the One who hears every prayer, sees every tear, and knows every need before we even speak it.

Throughout Scripture, whenever God’s people humbled themselves and called on His name, He responded. Sometimes He answered with deliverance. Sometimes with strength to endure. Sometimes with wisdom, peace, or miraculous intervention. But He always heard.

The answers we need are not going to come from human wisdom alone. They are going to come from the presence of God. This is not the hour to drift from prayer. This is the hour to press into it. The greatest battles are won on our knees before they are ever won in the natural.

Jeremiah 33:3 says, “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” God is inviting us to call on Him. He has not grown distant. He has not become silent. He is still the same faithful Father who responds to those who seek Him with all their hearts.

So whatever you’re facing today, don’t give up! Call on the Lord! He is still healing! He is still delivering! He is still making a way where there seems to be no way! Our hope is in the living God, and He has never failed His people.
Don’t give up! When we’ve done all we can do, we stand!

Good morning!

When life is hard and emotions have taken over, or lies feel so incredibly true, try to remember my “Here’s me.. but YOU” statements….

It’s my way of acknowledging what’s happening inside of me, but recognizing it’s not the whole story, and my feelings don’t change God!

These aren’t just nice things to say, they are declaring the true characteristics of God.

They sound like this..

Here’s my brokenness, but you are Healer.

Here’s my betrayal, but you are forever faithful.

Here’s my sin, but you are the Forgiver.

Here’s my confusion, but you are the good Shepherd.

Here’s my grief, but you are my Comforter.

Here’s my unjust world, but you are Justice.

Here’s my anxiety, but you are my steady hand.

Here’s my concerns, but you are my Protector.

Here’s my circumstances, but you are Hope.

Here’s my uncertainty, but you are my Counselor.

Here I am, Lord…..All of my pain. All my big feelings. All of my scattered-self.

All I have to offer.

And sometimes all I can cling to is ending it with, “…but You.” Hold on to His promises!

Have a blessed day!
