Some things don't need to be cut back. They need to be cut off.

If we are leading but not closely following Christ, we are misleading.

My very addictive personality and all sorts of strongholds are a thing of the past for me. Yet at the root of every single one of those issues was insecurity, something I had battled since childhood.

Think how our lives might be different if we became people with whom Christ could share the deep things of God.

You are Gods chief creation, and you are here for His pleasure and His glory.

Sometimes you have to shove all the surface stuff to the side in order to see whats underneath.

Father God, thank You for having no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, You did by sending Your own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. (Rom. 8:1-3) Help me to understand that the loving chastisement that might come to me after I have rebelled against You is only in the purest Father's love and is never to be confused with condemnation. (Heb. 12:6)
