Know DEEPLY who you are in Christ or everything else will be tainted.

God gives us the grace to accomplish what He calls us to do. His commands are also His promise of victory.

As we give the gifts of compassion and humility, our lives become demonstrations of the truth of God's Word.

Our willingness to be used as God's vessels can make His Father-heart a reality to our hurting world.

Emotional healing is almost always a process. It takes time. There is a very important reason for this. Our heavenly Father is not only wanting to free us from the pain of past wounds, he is also desirous of bringing us into maturity, both spiritually and emotionally. That takes time, because we need time to learn to make the right choices. He loves us enough to take the months and years necessary to not only heal our wounds, but also build our character. Without growth of character we will get wounded again.

In the final analysis our greatest problem with holiness is not that our concepts of holiness are feeble, but that our hearts are rebellious. We are selfish , that's our problem. And the fact that we often won't admit our selfishness shows how deep the pride goes.

What religion cannot do, GRACE does! Grace empowered obedience beats striving and performing any time!! Every time!!
