God has made it possible for you to have peace that surpasses all understanding, have joy unspeakable, and has made it possible for you to experience unconditional love.
Every painful time, you may not like it, but it’s developing something in you that can only be developed in the tough times. Don’t complain about the pain; without the pain, you wouldn’t reach the fullness of your destiny.
We have one shot at this life to give it everything we have. Let's hold nothing back. Let's be emptied, pouring ourselves out completely as a gift back to God.
"We deceive ourselves if we claim to want to hear His voice but neglect the primary channel through which it comes. We must read His Word."
~Elisabeth Elliot
Stand strong, be courageous, think like a champion, talk like an overcomer, praise when you could be complaining, declare victory when all you see is defeat, expect favor when it seems impossible. That's what makes God proud.
