Know that once we have received Jesus, we can't continue to live our old sinful lifestyle. Now that we have His Holy Spirit living in us, guiding us, and transforming us, we have no excuse.

It’s in those private times that we are refreshed, strengthened, and rejuvenated. It’s then we can see our lives from God’s perspective and discover what is really important. That’s where we understand who it is we belong to and believe in.

God wants to lead you to places you cannot get to without Him, and He does that by the power of His Spirit. He can bring you into the realm of the miraculous-not as a show, but as a demonstration of His love and compassion for the lost, hurting, or needy. Who among us doesn’t want or need that?

Don’t be afraid when you have to pray fervently because of your circumstances. God is wanting to do something great through you!

People's love for us may change, depending on what we do or don't do to please them. But God's does not-it's everlasting.

In times of weakness, choose to put yourself under God's control.

Forgiveness doesn't make the other person right, it makes you free.
