We don’t have to know it all to trust God completely. We can take it one day at a time. One step at a time. One act of obedience at a time. One sliver of light at a time. | @LysaTerkeurst
Believers in Jesus have God’s Spirit in us, and He helps us love people who are hurting, empathize with their pain, and acknowledge their perspective, even though we can’t change the outcome or fix things for them. Only God can do that. | @LysaTerkeurst
Cooperating with Jesus is the only way we can forgive.
What a relief to know that forgiving others doesn’t depend on us. We don’t have to try to feel our way to forgiveness. | @LysaTerKeurst
Remember: You deserve to stop suffering because of what someone else did to you. Forgiveness is how we find peace in the middle of hurt and betrayal. | @LysaTerkeurst
Remember that the enemy wants to make us forget what Jesus says about us and to prevent us from glorifying Him. We have to call on the God of angel armies to do battle and use His strength to destroy lies. | @LysaTerkeurst
The fruit of the Spirit is evidence of God’s Spirit in us. It doesn’t mean we’re perfect, but it does mean that more and more often, in the way we treat others these fruits will replace flaws. | @LysaTerkeurst
The fruit of the Spirit cannot grow unless we choose to spend time talking to Jesus and filling our hearts and minds with the good seeds of God’s Word. | @LysaTerkeurst
The cross was and is the only way to reconcile us to God. The only way to cleanse us from all that haunts us, condemns us. All our sin and shame. | Elizabeth Laing Thompson
Jesus endured — God endured — until the end, the final breath. And in Jesus’ last words, “It is finished” (John 19:30, NIV), we hear salvation’s victory song. | Elizabeth Laing Thompson
Even when it looked like nothing was happening, heaven was already at work. Resurrection was on its way. They didn’t know it, but God had a good plan — they just hadn’t experienced it yet. | Ashley Morgan Jackson
If you’re walking through something difficult right now, the last thing you might feel like doing is spending time with God in His Word. But, friend, that is the very thing that will renew your soul, transform your perspective, and give you lasting hope. | @VaneethaRisner
God untangles our need for others’ approval and challenges us to live for an audience of one. He helps us see where the voices of doubt are coming from and challenges us to consider the source. | @LysaTerkeurst
