Samson was physically strong but lacked self-control. He killed a lion with his bare hands, overcame an army with the jawbone of a donkey, but was defeated by the good looks of a woman.
The devil doesn't care that much about your strengths if he can use your weaknesses.
Dont let your guard down.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 🙏🏿
Uncommon advice:
If you don't know what to pursue in life right now, pursue yourself.
Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself. Then the right path will reveal itself.
Remember, popcorn are prepared in the same pot, in the same oil, in the same heat, but they don't pop at the same time. Don't compare yourself to others. Your time to pop is coming, whether they like it or not.
You lose mental clarity when you are busy all the time, and ironically, make bad decisions that make you even busier with problems you could have avoided in the first place. Busyness is the sign from reality that you should slow down, question your current trajectory, change something. A wealthy life doesn’t feel like enduring a grind, it feels like being free from it.
Daniel continued praying to God even after the king said he would be thrown into the lions' den. Pressure did not change his devotion because prayer was already part of his life. And God shut the mouths of the lions.
STAY FAITHFUL TO GOD EVEN WHEN IT BECOMES DIFFICULT.
Some indigenous cultures believe we're alive just as nature is alive; to be here, to be beautiful and strange. We don't need to achieve anything to be valid in our humanness.
The western cultures believe we must be alive for a purpose; to work, to make money.
The book of Philippians is known as the happiest book of the Bible, yet it was written by Paul while he was in prison. A powerful reminder that our joy is not dependent on our circumstances but rooted in Christ alone 💙
When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus - Acts 4:13
The evidence of an encounter with Jesus, is a transformed life. No two ways about it 💙
At times when I meet people, I meet their inner child first. I've always been told I become attached to people's potential, but I really think I get attached to their innocence. I can see who they were before the world messed them up, and that's why I love freely.
not to offend anyone but at this age we should be more scared of being unskilled than single. partners come and go skills, career and self-worth are what keep you stable when life gets real.
