You'll face overwhelming odds; you'll be incredibly outnumbered. Fear would be your natural inclination. But keep in mind, God is with you.

Repentance is the key that unlocks the door to all that God has for us, but it is not easy.

God looked through eternity past and He saw you and He chose to reach out and redeem you by His own grace. It's hard to imagine that kind of love.

When you say, I don't know exactly what God is doing, but I know he's in control that's evidence you're trusting Him.

Trust means you anchor your heart in the reality of God's awareness of your situation.

The marquee scrolling across our minds trying to reinterpret life reads: "God-Against-Us." This becomes the dominant lens through which our flesh interprets life. We no longer give our loving Father the benefit of the doubt. Instead, we view every event as conclusive proof that God is against us.

What you hope for determines what you live for. What you hope for determines WHO you live for. Hope misplaced can devastate you.
