Life Journeys

A face of hope and peace resting on a body of sorrows will send devils fleeing from everyone who comes near. Faith thinks God’s thoughts, not man’s. The assault doesn’t mean that you’re not right with God. You can’t...

Be more preoccupied with the divine solution than with the human condition eating away at you. There is no need to defend yourself against the accusations rehearsed in your own private courtroom. Though the secret place...

See the Lord Jesus as your Champion over every adversary. Every fight you've had with sin, temptation, the whisper of deception, accusations, and condemnation and the ache of feeling like you don’t measure up has been...

You’re not a failure when your faith hasn’t resolved all your hard times. Success is letting your faith produce one of “heaven’s patriots.” Perfection is heaven’s report for you when faith is allowed to sustain your...

In my trial, He said, “This is a moment of preparation. Heaven is fully aware of what you're going through right now and is planning for an eternal reward through it. The man wearing heaven’s identity doesn't set it...

Heaviness does not mean God has forsaken us. Mourning over failure does not mean our hope is gone. A life reduced to ashes does not mean we can't have God's joy and peace. A broken heart does not mean that the immense...

God's divine power has already given us everything we need for life. No achievement can buy it. No reputation can earn it. It isn't reserved for the spiritually elite. We haven't been called to glory and virtue by...

People think, "I chose God, and yet I still blew it, still looked too long, still gave in again" — and they assume the choice must not have taken. Choosing God set a direction. Your struggle is the curriculum your...

Heaping guilt on top of an unexplained weakness doesn’t produce holiness – just paranoia. Interrogating yourself for a verdict you were never meant to reach alone robs peace. Don’t let your failures become the facts...

God doesn't usually deliver us in our affliction by handing us an explanation. What He does instead is give us Himself. Some are called into deeper waters not because they've failed more, but because grace has entrusted...

Nothing in your life is wasted. God births great glory through earthly trials. When He makes a man, a nation, or a kingdom, it’s formed and proven in the fire. Suffering is not about your sins but works to magnify...

You're still weak. You're worthless. That hollow ache of feeling useless in hardship holds a hidden treasure. It's like inhaling supernatural oxygen the moment grace meets us in our pain. Our suffering doesn't define...

Before time itself had a name, before anything existed, your name was spoken. Your life was seen. God said, this one is mine. Stop pulling the gift apart to comprehend what was given to you in Christ Jesus before time...

Patience is freedom from the tyranny of my world's constant conflict. It’s peace by the supernatural strength of Christ in me…the kind that is only mined out of trials. They aren’t signs of failure, but doors into the...

Why am I here, and does it matter? God has crowned us frail creatures with glory and honor. But the crown was given, not earned, and the path to it runs through the valley. It’s exhausting to author our own worth, to...
