God has a blueprint for every person. This blueprint CANNOT be built by us. No matter how hard we try, God’s blueprint can only be built by God.
And yet, God doesn’t leave us wishing if he’ll actually complete the work he’s started. He gives us tools for us to use.
Tools are only useful if we have a plan for them. To use them just because we’re “supposed to” or because we have some to do list to check off will not accomplish the work God has for our lives.
God’s blueprint is to make us into the image of Jesus. The tools of the Bible, Prayer and Community are what God gives to us so we can Hear & Follow Jesus, find Life and be made into his image.
Below are a blog series pointing to the blueprint and how the Bible, Prayer and Community will bring us into his image.
