Vision
The Lord highlighted something powerful on one of my walks: a hydrangea plant that had several dead leaves; yet from inside of the plant, new life was springing forth. The tender green leaves that emerged from inside were so pure they were almost white and, in several places, its new growth displaced the dead leaves. There were parts where the old still clung to the plant, but what was hanging on didn’t have the power to stop the inner life from increasing and the plant from thriving.
This is the vision of Be-Loved Resources: To look away from all disqualifying evidence to Christ in us, our hope of glory. It is His life in us that is not overcome by darkness and does not shrink back from death around or within that is our sure unfailing hope. In cases where bad habits and characteristics from our former season of life still cling to us, we judge them as having been deprived of the power to stop us from growing in the grace and knowledge of Jesus. As we grow in all that He is, and make much of His life in us, we fulfill our true purpose on the earth: to behold and reflect the goodness of God wherever we are planted. Just as a flourishing plant photosynthesizes and changes the atmosphere with its output of oxygen, so a believer who receives life, breath, and nourishment from God in Christ will transform their workplace and family, and this world with the witness of His love.
Mission
To expound on God’s love as it is revealed in the finished work of Christ Jesus for us so that believers receive and reflect that love wherever they are planted.
