your emmaus road
what happens when you believe in God but stop trusting Him in the middle of the journey.
choosing precedes calling
The call felt sudden. The choosing was not. God chose you before He called you, and that changes everything about what you are carrying.
the labor of god
You did not come to God suddenly. He has been laboring toward you since before your first breath, and the moment you answered was not His first call.
bearing good fruit
Good deeds are not the same as good fruit. One is produced by self. The other is produced through abiding in the True Vine.
the true vine
Your walk with God became effort for reward. The parable of the true vine exposes why striving never produced the fruit you expected.
given understanding
Two people sit under the same Word and walk away with different understanding. The difference was never intellect. It was the posture of the heart.
the limiting effect of unbelief

my salvation
what happens when you accept salvation without understanding the covenant you entered. the words were spoken, but the healing was never worked out.
my condition, my egypt
the emptiness you keep trying to fill is the distance between you and god. you are not too far gone, and salvation was made for this very condition.
