Sometimes it’s the words we choose not to say that speak most loudly about our character.
Regardless of where you are tonight, God is with you. God is wooing you. God wants you to experience Him. Whatever you are going through today, you can find His joy and peace. However distant your dreams may seem, God is working things out, and today is an important part of that process.
I want to honor Jesus with the things I say and the things I choose not to say. Lord, help us all be so careful with sharing opinions as if they are truth.
Remember: even the smallest drop of God’s strength is more than enough to cover our frailties, our shortcomings, and the places where we deem ourselves weak.
A woman who is careful with her words is a gift to all who know her.
This morning, you have a choice. You can lay in the dark replaying the awful events of the week, or you can turn the light on and read God’s Word-His truth-which is the best thing to do when lies are swarming and painful thoughts are attacking like a bunch of bloodthirsty mosquitoes.
Whatever has you afraid, angry, intimidated or frustrated tonight – take it to our all-powerful and all-capable God. He has the answer.
Don’t let the hurt of today blind you to the hope of tomorrow. Disappointment ushers in a new appointment.
Today, let’s be determined to see blessings in the midst of things that seem like burdens.
Not reaching back for what was lost in my yesterdays. And not reaching for what I hope will be in my tomorrow. But living fully with what is right in front of me. And truly seeing the gift of this moment.
When to give grace? I’d rather stand before God knowing I loved others too much rather than regretting that I judged too harshly.
Trying to fix another person will only add to my anxiety. Letting Jesus work on me is where real progress can happen.
We live in a broken world full of broken people. But isn’t it comforting to know God isn’t ever broken? He isn’t ever caught off guard, taken by surprise, or shocked by what happens next.
Sometimes we need the salt of tears to remind us how to savor the sweetness of life.
Big things are built one brick at a time. Victories are achieved one choice at a time. A life well lived is chosen one day at a time.
Scars are beautiful when we see them as glorious reminders that we courageously survived.
Toxic thoughts leave no room for truth to flourish. And in the absence of truth, lies reign. Spend some time soaking in your favorite verses from Scripture tonight. The more we read God’s truths and let truth fill our minds, the less time we’ll spend contemplating untruths and toxic thoughts.
Truth is the only healthy place from which to speak. Assumption is the birthplace of godless chatter.
This life is not about me. It’s about joining hands with Jesus to fulfill whatever tasks He sets before me and to share His love with all He brings my way.
No person, possession, profession, or position ever fills the cup of a wounded, empty heart. It’s an emptiness only God can fill.
