๐ YOU WERE MADE FOR THIS: A Fresh Look at Body, Soul, and Spirit
What does it really mean that you were made for this? It doesn't mean you can handle every hardship in your own strength. It means you were created in God's image, for life in relationship with your Creator. And through Jesus Christ, you can receive the life you were made for.

๐ฅ ONE LAST ENCOURAGEMENT
An older mentor of Kenny's, now in his nineties, ends every phone conversation with two words: Finish strong.
Whatever season you're in, don't let familiarity dull your gratitude or weariness convince you that God is finished with you. Keep returning to the truths that sustain you. Keep your eyes on Jesus.
You were made for this. Finish strong.
