Weakness is hard, but it doesn't have to mean defeat. It's our opportunity to experience God's power firsthand.

We try so hard to hold onto our stuff. We call it our treasure and expect to feel joy. But in God’s economy if we want to gain, we must give up. For joy won’t ever be found in collecting treasures. Joy radiates in our life only when we share our treasures.

There is power in simply speaking the name Jesus.

Not reaching back for what was lost in my yesterdays. And not reaching for what I hope will be in my tomorrow. But living fully with what is right in front of me. And truly seeing the gift of this moment.

Feelings should be indicators, not dictators.

Today, let's set our minds and hearts on feeling more thankful for what we are than guilty for what we're not. Let's cut the threads of guilt with grace.

Just because we feel offended doesn't mean we must be offended. Feelings are indicators not dictators.
