Sometimes the hardest thing to admit is that we need to improve in areas of our lives. But with God’s help we can become the best versions of ourselves.

Can I picture God smiling over this choice? This is a question we can ask ourselves when we allow negative thoughts to linger in our minds.
Our Polish evangelistic camp ended last weekend. It never ceases to amaze me that relationships can run so deep in such a short time period.
If anyone has reason to grumble and complain, God does, especially when He looks upon mankind and the manner in which we treat Him. And yet He refrains.
When we follow our own path, we doubt His integrity and intent. We end up striving to make things happen the way we want. Ultimately, we lose our peace.
What do you believe to be true about God? How has your faith impacted your life when He’s asked you to do something beyond your own ability?
Do we hear God’s words as ho-hum or applicable only to others? Or do we hear His words, listen to what He’s telling us, and respond appropriately?
Jesus is all about setting us free from bondage. There are no cookie-cutter answers for our tough issues, but He is more than willing and able to help us.
If we truly want to grow deep in our Christian faith, we need to take action. This helps us dismiss any temptation to drift in our relationship with Jesus.
Our thoughts can hinder our potential, our health, and our relationships, but it needn’t be that way. We can enjoy freedom characterized by life and peace.
Sometimes we feel guilty taking time for ourselves. Or we think we dare not lest the world falls apart in our absence. But let’s remember that even God rested.

Are you stuck in the trap of “not good enough?” Remember, we’re accepted by God because of His unfailing love for us, not because of anything we do. Period.

His presence and power change everything. He infuses us with His vision, breathes energy into us as we pursue His kingdom, and brings eternal results for our efforts.
Jesus, Prince of Peace, came into our world so He could live in us. His power at work within us ought to help us worship, rather than worry.

I want to live a powerful and fruitful life. Christ has given us everything we need to do this, but the key lies in staying connected to Him moment-by-moment.
