Letting Go
So many times, those who raise children have moments of letting go, from those first baby steps to sending them off into the world. It’s in those moments you have to trust that God knows how to love your children, too. . .
Build Others Up
Make every effort to speak, act, and be friends to others in such a way as to lead to peace instead of discord. And build others up instead of tearing them down. . .
Practice Empathy
Perhaps the best way to live in harmony with others is to practice empathy. Empathy is not pity—it’s not feeling bad for someone. It’s the act of understanding someone’s experience and feeling it with them. . .
Give Your Schedule to God
If you actively give over your schedule to God, pray through your day and commit to honor Him in your actions, how do you think that might change you?
When You Feel God Nudging You
When you feel God nudging you to do something, don’t ignore it. When you see a problem or hear of trouble and you don’t know how to fix it, ask God to help you find a way. . .
God Is Always at Work
God is always at work. He doesn’t take vacation days. He doesn’t ever stop knitting you together and unfolding His grand story. . .
God Is Fighting for You
God is fighting for you today—answering your prayers and giving you confidence to do battle against any kind of power that seeks to control your heart. You can count on your Lord to give you strength. . .
Willing to Listen
If you make a pledge every day to have ears willing to listen, what difference could that make to those who are weary and struggling, stressed and despairing? Perhaps it could make all the difference in the world. . .
Other Gods
Anything placed above God is an idol and has the potential of becoming a god. A good question to ask yourself to test if you have allowed idols to creep into your life is, “What do I spend the most time doing or thinking about?”
The Spiritually Blind
The Holy Spirit is the only one who can open the eyes of the spiritually blind and draw them to salvation. But you, as a believer, play a major role via prayer. . .
