It's time to blow out the candles on the pity party cake.

As long as we are faking it we are just showing the world how to fake it - but they already are! They want to see us get real.

Accept the fact that you're never gonna be someone else and embrace the fact that the world needs you as God made you to be.

Life only works when Jesus is everything and we are fully submitted to Him.

There's something that's not right or not perfect or not the way we had hoped or dreamed that it was going to be. But God promises that He will use everything and every moment to ultimately take us to a new Heaven and a new Earth. For now, we're stuck in the middle.

How many of you heard the voice of God speak specifically, clearly, directly, and personally, to you? Can you just put a hand up? I'd like you to share it. Can you put a hand up for a minute? Just want you to look around; that's people saying, "God Almighty, the Maker of heaven, the one Who's sitting on the only throne that's not under threat - He spoke to me. He spoke to me." "God spoke to me." Don't let the voice of the darkness tell you that you are not worth that God would not speak to you. Don't let him tell you, you don't matter. God spoke to you.

Every great thing requires a great sacrifice.
