The giant step in the walk of faith is the one we take when we decide God no longer is a part of our lives. He IS our life.

The question is whether or not our insecurities are substantial enough to hurt, limit, or even distract us from profound effectiveness or fulfillment of purpose.

I don't know a single person who truly seems to bear the mark of God's presence and power in his or her life who hasn't been asked by God to be obedient in a way that was dramatically painful.

Sometimes God allows us to explore the 'whys' of His instructions. Other times He wants us to obey 'because He said so.' Has God asked you to obey in a specific matter that still awaits your obedient response?

Be careful not to give too much credence to the old adage that time heals. Mark my word. It's God that heals. Time only tells.

Spiritual maturity does not mean that we will never make wrong plans. In fact, spiritual maturity often means having the courage to admit we've made the wrong plans.

God wants to wipe away your past and lift your burdens. Do you let Him?
