Strength part 4

Isn't it funny how much importance we put on first impressions? Even though at the same time we demand, "You can't judge a book by its cover." We love to label things and put them into boxes and then we expect them to stay there. But most of the time all that is is a recipe for disaster. Because...

I had to look this quote up, and then when I found it it was by an unknown author. But I thnk it goes along with what I've been trying to say: "It is said that the greatest warrior is the one who never has to draw his sword." That's the thing about true inner strength, you don't have to run around...

There's an inner strength, an inner confidence, an inner peace, that comes from knowing who you are. Who you REALLY are. Who you are in Christ. Which is who Christ is in you. Because when you know who you really are, you don't have to try to be anybody else. When you know that the fire in you is...

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do is NOT fight back. Sometimes its better to stand tall and fast, on the Rock that is our foundation, and let the winds and the rain beat against us until the storm runs out of steam. Jesus said it like this, "Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for...

The true you is the you that feels at peace. For me, a writer, its when I'm writing. For a musician, when they're playing music. For a teacher, when they're teaching. But in order to BE the true you, you have to get past all the surface stuff. All the stuff that the world tells you you're...

When the inner man comes out... when the hidden man of the heart is revealed TO you, and IN you, and THROUGH you, and AS you... that's when you BE transformed (into what you've already BEEN transformed into). By the renewing of your mind. By letting the mind of Christ--again, that's already in...

When you know who you are, you can BE who you are. Because when you know who you are you don't need to try to be someone you're not. And that's why the affirmation and acceptance of the Father is so important; the affirmation and acceptance of the Father equips and empowers you to be who you really...

You are not what people call you. But you ARE what you answer to. That's why its so important to know who you are. Who you REALLY are. Who you are in Christ. Which is who Christ is in you. Its basically what Jesus was saying in Matthew 6:24 (NLT), "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate...

There's a lot of stuff on the surface. A lot of stuff that life has piled up on us. And a lot of the time that's all we see. Because its on the surface. Right there in our face. Staring at us. Mocking us. Daring us to defy it. But there's also something deep down inside. Ephesians 3:16 refers to it...

All I want to say today is: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love" (1 John 4:18). And specifically all I want to say is, "There is no fear in love." Love is a safe place. And it seems horribly ironic to...
