Consider the Cost
Sometimes people rush to get others “saved” without allowing them to consider the cost. Abiding in Jesus could be the most expensive thing you ever choose to do—but it’s worth it. . .

Let Him Love You
So many times you turn Jesus away without even realizing it. If you have been running, turn around. Let Him love you. If you haven’t, just rest in Him today. . .
From Day One
From the moment you were born (and even before that), whether you know it or not, you began relying on God every minute of your life. So praise Him today for being there for you from day one. . .
Facing Battles
Spend some time in God’s Word every day—especially if you know you are facing battles. . .
The Rest Will Fall Into Place
It’s not that it’s a bad thing to make plans—it’s just a stifling thing to live for those plans. God wants you instead to seek His kingdom first, and then all the rest will fall into place. . .
Pushing Through the Fear
Having courage doesn’t mean you won’t be afraid. It means pushing through the fear to act on what you know is right. And when you take that step into your fear, you can be certain that God will meet you there. . .
The Light of Jesus
The light of Jesus won’t leave you wanting. It won’t come in a moment and leave you in the next. It’ll stay and grow and give warmth and banish every bit of darkness. . .
Living the Truth
There’s knowing the truth, and then there’s living the truth. And how you live speaks to others about what you know to be true. What is your life saying about Jesus?
He Pushes You
God works in mysterious ways. Sometimes He carries you. But other times He pushes you to grow the strength you need to carry yourself. . .
Turn to Jesus
If you have let some demon—an addiction, a toxic relationship, a sin you just can’t shake—strip you of your humanity, turn to Jesus. Let Him look at you and love you. . .
