for every moment of tribulation and persecution i have suffered i can only hope in enduring it i will receive an equal and greater crown of glory in Heaven
on my path to throwing off my passions and trying to remain a repentant sinner, i consider i may be like moses. never making it to the promised land but hopefully being forgiven
God can turn 8 years of doubt into perpetual assurance and knowing. The crux of the matter is you ceaselessly going to Him with every question and concern. A personal vice of mine that's always constricted my ability to act according to faith is self-doubt, which devolves into worry and living from a state of anxious scarcity -- the worst. And the root was partially insecurity and partially upbringing, but primarily, it was a lack of trust in God's 1) willingness and 2) ability to do good things for, with, and in me
Eradicating this devilish tactic of thwarting uncertainty from hope to despair is of utmost priority, and doing so will change everything
WHAT GOD IS ABOUT TO DO IN YOUR LIFE WILL SHOCK MANY
God is saying to you today,
"My child, I am about to do something so big in your life that it will shock those who doubted you and rock the very ground you stand on.
What I am preparing for you will silence critics, confuse your enemies, and confirm that My hand has always been upon you. The doors I open next will not be small, and the favor I release will not be ordinary. You have cried, you have prayed, you have endured in silence, but I have been building something greater than you can see. Do not quit now when you are standing on the edge of your breakthrough.
Do not give up when the miracle is closer than it has ever been. I am turning the pressure into promotion and the battle into a blessing.
Stay faithful, stay focused, and stay confident, because what I am about to do in your life will leave no doubt that it was Me."
when u feel like giving up and then remember that the Spirit of the living God resides within you and your task on Earth is to realize you are loved and share that love with others
Love is only for the fierce and the brave, and so it is for this reason it is forbidden to the cowardly. For them, there's only compromise, strategy, and war. And they may confuse the intimacy of their war games for love, but it is not, for love is pure, and this is not.
