SPRING FORTH NOW 2026

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)  Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

II Corinthians 6:1-10

Grace has been given—what are you doing with it? Paul reminds us not to receive God’s grace in vain, showing that what is High and Lifted Up must be lived out, not just talked about. When you Look Up, you realize that your life carries both favor and responsibility, and how you respond determines what you produce. For people who have learned how to hold joy and pain in the same hand, this is your reminder that your story can look like a contradiction and still be full of power. Dream Big, because even in pressure, rejection, or struggle, God is still working something purposeful and undeniable through you. Decide To Become someone who endures with integrity and moves with intention, knowing that real growth is revealed in how you handle both highs and lows. Demonstrate Your Power by staying faithful, loving deeply, and standing strong, because when you steward grace well, your life will testify High and Lifted Up.
