“…in your discouragement, remember that your challenging circumstances are reason to relish your high position. They are putting you in a position of depending on God, a priceless skill for now and eternity.” —@chipingram, The Art of Survival
The impossible, many times, is just simply the untried.
Most people don’t succeed because they are too afraid even to try. They don’t begin because of the old fear of failure.

One of the main reasons the Bible was written was to prepare us ahead of time, to teach us how to respond in advance to many of the situations that we will encounter in life. — @AuthorJohnMason, #AnEnemyCalledAverage#currentlyreading
Here is the key to being free from the stranglehold of past failures and mistakes: learn the lesson and forget the details.
Build on the experience, and get on with your life.
The call is higher than the fall.

Be decisive. Go with the peace of God and do not be afraid to make a decision. The fact is that decisive people typically prevail and rise to the top because most people are indecisive. —@AuthorJohnMason, an Enemy called Average

Goodbyes leave you an open door that only grief can enter.
Grief exists so you can come face to face with the love that has been lost.
Grieve because joy comes in the morning.

And right at that moment, He will refresh you too.
Serve. Refresh others. And you’ll discover that it’s in the doing that you get to encounter God more.

SERVE
…like there is no tomorrow.
…wholeheartedly.
…even if joy is nowhere to be found.
…in the middle of chaos.
…in the middle of uncertainty.
…even if there’s nothing for you in return.
Serve knowing that somewhere in the process, God will meet you right where you are.
When joy is missing, the easiest way to find it back is to serve others — abundantly and selflessly.

Sin makes us focus obsessively on how we feel, how we feel about how we feel, and how we feel about what we’ll need to do to alter the way we feel. —@PaulTripp#currentlyreading#awe
You have been called to the high position of making the invisible glory of God visible to people who quickly lose sight of God’s glory and begin to look for glories elsewhere. —@PaulTripp, AWE (Chapter 3: Ministry)

@JPCuison Truly. And yes, though we are growing faith muscles..we must always be reminded na hindi natin kaya ‘to without God. Thank you for the reminder. 😊
#God’s goal is not our comfort, it is our character. And our character is formed in the furnace of affliction.

“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness” 2Cor12:9
Created ‘awe’ has a purpose; it is meant to point you to the place where the ’awe’ of your heart should rest. If awesome things in creation become your god, the God who created those things will not own your awe.
