Normalize standing in awe of possibility instead of in fear of uncertainty.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

Don’t mistake God's patience as time to live without committing to Him. Thank God for His patience, because it was the time He gave to surrender to Him.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

The first word used to describe love is patience; God’s patience is evidence of His love, because He saw what our lives would look like if we completely submitted to Him.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

God could have given up on us, but instead He gently picked us up when we fell, protected us from our wrong choices, and shielded us from harm.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

Our God is gracious enough to have patience for us despite our bad attitude, putting things in front of Him, and even our addictions that take us away from Him.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

The discomfort you feel is a challenge from God to resist the enemy's deception, even though it may seem good, it is not God.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

However, God will never let you settle for what is not from him or meant for you, despite the deception the enemy tries to throw your way.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

The enemy's main goal is to separate you from the promises that God has for your life through deception. He will take stress and dress it up like an opportunity. He will take hate and dress it up like love.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

The enemy likes to conceal wolves in sheep's clothing, but that's alright because our God enjoys concealing lions within lambs.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

Your relationship with Christ will expose what God sees when He looks at you. And it's that image you have permission to become.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

When you fall in love with God, anything the enemy uses to delay or distract you will not work because nothing he could give would replace what God can fulfill.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

Your yes to God positions you to be an answered prayer to other people's prayers. The world created the problem, but God gave you the solution in the form of a gift.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

No matter how hard you try, it'll always fail if it's not from God. If it's from God, it'll find you even if you run away.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

God knew your end before He created your beginning. Trust Him to bring about good works in you, because at any moment, God can shift you from waiting for it to walking in it.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

If God is to guide you, you must be willing to let him remove things from you so you can bear more fruit. (John 15:1-2)

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

Although some people or opportunities may seem attractive at first, they might lead you away from the path that God has planned for your life.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

If God sent them, they would bring you closer to Jesus, not closer to them. The longer you entertain what is not from God, the longer you postpone what is from God.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

Who you are is what you have overcome and conquered. God is responsible for the results, you are responsible for not giving up.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

You may not understand it now, but God always attaches a story before he gives you the weight of glory.

[AJ Washington @alfredjw_]

Why would God call Joseph and then send him to jail? Genesis 39:20. Why would God call David and then send a Goliath? 1 Samuel 17:50.
