This world is full of things that can get us feeling down. Thankfully, we never have to stay in that mindset; our purpose is so much bigger than the problems we struggle with! As long as we put our faith (all of our faith, not just a portion) in God's ability to use any situation we find ourselves in to bring Him glory, we are able to let go of our troubles. If we are not willing, however, to place the outcome of our situations in God's hands, do we have any right to question

He is enough. Not God plus more money. Not God plus a better job. Not God plus a better looking partner. Not God plus better behaving children. Not God plus... ANYTHING. Just HIM. We could never taste another morsel, never see another sunset, never be loved by another person, never possess anything... and it wouldn't matter, because He is all we will ever need. Our lives (and struggles) are so trivial compared to the awesomeness of God, yet He chooses us anyway. He love us no

It's so easy to give in to our human-ness: our bodies our weak, our emotions are unstable, our hearts are torn. It's so much easier to wallow in our hurt and self-pity! Yes, we are allowed to be sad, disappointed, hurt, and heart-broken, but that state is never supposed to last! God openly tells us that feeling sorry for ourselves and our situation is not how we are meant to live. We are called to give God our fractured hearts and ACCEPT HIS HEALING.

Infinitely more. Not just a little more; infinitely more. He who formed the heavens and the earth from nothingness, He who spoke everything into existence, He who created us in His image. He is capable of more! Just think of all the sheer quantity of thoughts and ideas and things which we can't even begin to imagine! It's easy to get overwhelmed at what we don't know. But you know what? He wants to reveal more of His knowledge and wisdom to us... all we have to do is trust (E

Love = fullness of life Love = power from God Love = joy Love = peace Love = everything that will ever mean anything #Ephesians319

Ahh, understanding. Not of the workings of the world or the motives of me... God simply wants us to fully understand that His love is everywhere and it is all we could ever need. Love - God's true love - is everything. Here is Third Day's "Love Song", which is just a wonderful reminder that we are loved! #Ephesians318

God expects us to put our trust in Him; it's the basic foundation of our faith. Without trust in God, Jesus cannot live in us. It's that simple. Thankfully, God doesn't require us to be flawless! He doesn't require us to never ever make mistakes, to never ever have doubts, to never ever lose sight of His plan. We're human and we're going to mess things up sometimes- it's just who we are. Once we establish trust in God throughout our lives, however, it's His presence in our li
