Your identity is being formed whether you understand it or not, whether you are cooperating or not. Something is being formed all the time, either through your response or your non-response. All your circumstances are to establish something. If you don't respond to them properly, then you establish something that you don't really want to be known for.

The whole point about thinking brilliantly is about knowing your identity and the favor you have in Christ

There is no greatness apart from self control. Development that does not include self government will only guarantee our mediocrity.

It is so important that you don't get distracted by what you are not. You need to start confessing your persona and living in it, and don't be bewildered by your circumstances. Just stay on course with what God is promising you.

Your primary calling is to worship ... to pursue celebration and rejoicing as a way of life.

Do not look for evil. Look for the goodness of God all around you. As you look for signs of His Presence, many more opportunities will occur for you to bless people and share God's true nature.

When God’s putting His finger on the part of your life that’s not working, He’s pointing to your next miracle.
