"So shall the word that goes out from my mouth; It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve for the purpose for which I sent it." Isaiah 55:11

This verse was one of our Summer Beach Project memory verses, and I was reading through Isaiah 55 last night and it really caught my eye. This semester especially has been one of the busiest times of my life, and sometimes I feel like I'm unable to be as intentional as I would like to with people. The Lord commands for us to love Him with all of our heart, soul and mind and to love others as we would want to be loved. I believe in order to do this, we need to show Christ to other people in everything we do-- through our words and through our actions-- and they will see Christ through us. I pray that I can do that, and that the distractions of life don't get in the way. The Lord is so good, so faithful, and His name should be glorified in my life and through my life. So will the words come out of my mouth not come back empty-handed. They shall do the work I sent them to do, and finish the assignment I gave them. May my words and actions mirror Christ to others, to the world.
