No matter why you left,
no matter where you went,
no matter what you’ve done,
no matter who you’ve become,
God is inviting you to come home.
He’s waiting to forgive you and to love you.
Instead of praying, “God give me what I want,” I’m learning to pray “God, show me what YOU want, and change my heart until it wants the same thing.”
“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart (Ps 37:4.)”
I encourage you to watch out for negative thoughts and statements that include “if only,” and to think and say instead positive confessions that include “but God.” When you focus your thoughts and words on what God can do, His power will flow in your life in unprecedented ways!
It’s just not something we want to do when we’re sick. Or when we’re going through any affliction or difficulty. We don’t want to praise God. We don’t feel like praising God. But we should! Because there is power in praise! #Praise #Faith #Healing

Anger mixed with sadness is a cocktail for resentment or what psychology calls "embitterment". It doesn't go down smooth, and it has the same contaminating impact on yourself and everyone you come in contact with.
The reason you can’t see a way is because it’s not going to happen naturally. God is going to do it supernaturally, in ways that you couldn’t make happen. Don’t try to figure it out; just keep believing, keep expecting, keep doing the right thing.
You cannot make people like you. You cannot make people believe you. You cannot change their minds if they want to think the worst of you. You cannot demand esteem. Put that wasted effort into following Jesus &, in his name, in his love & in his ways, do your fellow humans good.
Happy Lord’s Day, all. Here to testify Jesus saved my life. Flat out. No other reason I’m still here in one piece. He is my joy. My strength. My rock. My strong tower. He is my life, my breath & my belonging. If you could use a Savior, I know no other. No one but Jesus is Jesus.
