This is REAL!
Being a believer in Christ isn’t supposed to be some ethereal hope that we cling to while we melt away down here on Earth. Being a believer in Christ gives us fortitude, strength, power - it makes us resolute, firm in our faith, able to stand up against whatever this world throws at us (which is a lot!).

A patient person is a sanctified person.

A Grateful heart Is a Blessed Heart
The more humble and repentant you are, on a daily basis, even, the more you will abide in God’s precious love, experientially.

The Sphere of God
  • “Trust me.”
  • “Why should I trust you?”
  • “Because I love you.”

Your joy is intrinsic to your abiding in the sphere of God’s love.

The Search for Peace
There’s no reason to fret over the difficulty of finding [peace]; however, there’s only one way we can ever be successful in this quest. It begins with humility and is sourced solely by the Lord.

Christ’s Resurrection
The resurrection of Jesus is our proof that He overcame death, itself. Death had no hold on Him; therefore, He is victorious over it, as are we, being baptized into union with Him at salvation.

Self-Induced Misery
It's when we think we have the RIGHT to demand such things as permanent blessings that we place ourselves in bondage to poor expectations!

Eph 5:10-11
and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.

Transcendence
We are children of the holy, sovereign God of the Universe - we ought to ACT like it!

Food for Thought

  • A reminder that true peace can only be found in Him
  • Practically speaking, it’s more blessed to give than to receive
  • A life lived with gratitude is a blessed life

Poor perspective guarantees poor living.

“according to his riches”
God is infinitely rich. When He gives, He gives “according to” His ability to give. A good example of this is a miracle (e.g. salvation, healing, etc.).
