| Christians who live out of who they really are cannot be crippled by the opinions of others. They don't work to fit into other people's expectations, but burn with the realization of who the Father says they are! "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in the Lord, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasures for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life." 1 Timothy 6:17-19 |
| For most of us, our greatest fear is running out of time. So we hurry through life trying desperately to get everything done: working overtime, eating fast food in the car, racing down the freeway. In our quest to save time, we're losing something. "Be careful, then how you live - not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil." Ephesians 5:15-16 |
| The circumstances in our lives do not define us. We need to get to the place where what God says is the only thing that matteres. We need to recognize who we are in Christ. "Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are my God and my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long." Psalm 25:4-5 |
| What we know changes as we gain access to the heart of the Father. Jesus, lead me to Your heart! "However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me - the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace." Acts 20:24 |
| The flesh hinders the expression of Christ's life through us. The flesh is the condition where my focus is primarily on myself - where I am living out of my own resources in order to: (1) Cope and deal with life (2)Solve my problems (3) Meet my needs and (4) Become a success (from church conference) "For in him we live and move and have our being." Acts 17:28 |
