Nothing on earth compares to the strength God is willing to interject into lives caught in the act of believing.

In my morning time with God, I ask Him to fill all my hollow places with His lavish, unfailing love. This frees me from craving the approval of others and requiring them to fill up my “cup.” Then, if someone takes the time to demonstrate his or her love for me, that's the overflow! I am free to appreciate and enjoy it, but I didn't emotionally require it!

The next time you feel rejection's sting, remember God's words to Samuel: "It is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me." (1 Sam. 8:7)

Peace is one of the most obvious earmarks of the authority of Christ. A sense of peace will virtually always accompany His will and direction, even when the direction might not have been our personal preference.

Christ honors our submission even when our only motivation is obedience.

The power of the resurrection means that nothing but the tomb is meant to be empty.

Ministry to an individual is as mighty an act of God as is ministry to the masses.
