But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” 1 Samuel 16:7 ESV
While ministering in Ohio and Michigan, I’ve met people whom society often labeled as spiritually broken or beyond hope—those facing life-altering medical diagnoses, experiencing homelessness, battling addiction, ashamed because they were sexually abused, bullied by people in their lives, living in poverty or caring for loved ones with special needs…
When I ministered to these individuals, I would listen to them talk about their lives to understand their current mental, physical, and spiritual state and where they wanted to be in the future. During our conversations, they would share about their loss of HOPE, their struggles, their fears… their brokenness. The more they shared about their lives, it was easy to see why society deemed them as broken or beyond hope.
Being a follower of Jesus, I have come to the realization, “Throughout our lives, we will be subjected to hardships and trials and our ability to endure and overcome the hardship or trial depends on how much HOPE we have in our lives.” Proverbs 18:14 (ESV), written by Solomon, tells us, “A man’s spirit will endure sickness, but a crushed spirit who can bear?”.
My purpose is to remind you that God sees you—you are never alone. Your life has meaning, you are deeply loved, and you were created with a purpose, even in a broken world. There are people who care about you and want to help you find HOPE. Even though you may feel like society has rejected you or you feel you don’t fit in because you don’t fit the “Social Norms” established by your society, God sees your heart and you may be that unseen vessel full of life God is wanting to use to tell His story.
Vision Statement: The Vision is to build up God’s Church and Kingdom in our local communities by helping people develop a relationship with Jesus and turn to Jesus for Hope when they feel a sense of hopelessness.
Mission Statement: The Mission is to give the world HOPE by building sustainable relationships and trust through professional services and the ministries God has called me to.
