Jesus has risen from the dead as He promised His disciples. Mary meets Him first & runs to tell the other #disciples. But while she #believes, another disciple #doubts. #Jesus meets Thomas in his unbelief & #encourages him to #believe. #CFLStudyOfJohn

If you struggle with #doubt, #Jesus understands. He will meet you right where you are, just as He did with Thomas because He wants you to have life abundant and full. What do you do if and when you struggle with doubt? #CFLStudyOfJohn

If you’d like to explore the #CFLStudyOfJohn, you can watch our videos on the #CourageForLife Instagram account (Courage For Life)! Each Wednesday evening, we are walking chapter-by-chapter through this amazing book of the #Bible!

A #spiritualinjury can happen when what we #believe to be true of #God and what the #Bible teaches us to be true of God, come into conflict with what we experience or perceive to be true of God. #GodGivesCourage

When we seek to know the #truth about #God & His Word by examining our understanding of Him & the #scriptures, our #spiritualhealing can begin. Let's take our focus off our feelings & put them on the reality of God’s #unfailinglove for us to find our spiritual healing & #peace.

There comes a time for many of us when we must revisit our #past to process any lingering #pain & put it behind us. That way, we can #free ourselves from unnecessary #obstacles & #presson toward #GodsPlans rather than staying stuck in our ruts. #YouCanDoIt #GodGivesCourage

Throughout #GodsWord, we see His #patience with mankind & His call on mankind to practice patience. Because #God is #patient with us, so we can be patient with ourselves, others, our plans, & our lives in general. Will you allow God to #lead you in His timing? #GodGivesCourage

If you have never asked #Christ into your life or if you have any #doubt as to whether you have completely #surrendered your life to our Creator, I invite you to do so today. Accepting the #salvation offered by #JesusChrist is the most #courageous step you will ever take.

Where the #SpiritOfTheLord is there is #freedom. Are you experiencing the freedom that only #JesusChrist can provide? #GodGivesCourage #CourageForLife

If #God is encouraging you to do something that takes you out of your #comfortzone or to make a #difficultdecision - today's the day to make that #courageous #commitment! God will give you the courage you need - just ask Him. #GodGivesCourage

Surrendering to God's will & way is a continual practice we must #choose to make every day of our lives. This week strive to #letgo & #letGod take control of your life. Begin with #prayer, seek #wisecounsel, & then let it go. #CourageForLife #GodGivesCourage

Self-imprisonment always begins in our hearts & our minds. The good news is that #Jesus not only came to save our souls but to #heal our brokenness. He can set captives #free regardless of the type of prison we build for ourselves. Now that is #goodnews! #CourageForLife

Sometimes it takes #courage to maintain your #integrity! Courageously maintain your integrity by thinking before you speak & act, being #accountable, being #honest, & seeking to please #God. What practical ways do you strive to maintain & protect your devotion to #godlycharacter?

Do you ever think about what it means to #walkwithGod? How might #God reference your walk with Him? What do you need to do to ensure you are walking with God and not carelessly traveling down the wrong path? What steps will you take today to walk with God more #faithfully?

Unless we have a thorough knowledge of #GodsWord, we will likely never recognize the lies we’ve been led to #believe. Make God’s #truth a priority in your life. How will you make the study of God’s Word a #priority this week?

What is #livinghope & what does it feel like in our hearts & look like in our lives? #HopeinGod is intended to be an unbreakable #spiritual lifeline to Him & His #goodintentions towards us. A daily choice of #believingGod & His goodness above everything else. #CourageForLife
