Often we’re afraid of making the wrong decision, and that creates stress. Maybe you’re facing a decision about a major issue: “Should I hold on, or should I let go?” “Should I get in, or should I get out?” “Should I get married?” “Should I find a new job?” “Should I move?” When you can’t
God is far more interested in changing my mind than changing my circumstances. We want God to take away all of the problems, pain, sorrow, suffering, sickness, and sadness. But God wants to work on me first, because transformation won’t happen in my life until I renew my mind, until my thoughts begin to change.
Your choices are far more powerful than your circumstances. You may not like how complicated your life has become. But with few exceptions, no one is forcing you to keep your life complicated. You have the power to simplify your life. In fact, God expects us to assume responsibility for our lives and to carefully
When God wants to remove the defects in my life, he doesn’t just snap his fingers so that it happens instantly. He does it gradually. When God wants to make a mushroom, he takes six hours, but when he wants to make an oak tree, he takes 60 years. Do you want to be a

Whether I recognize it or not, i am not the only one walking around with hurts, scars and open wounds. Anxiety can rob us of the enjoyment of life. The causes of anxiety are numerous: health, work (or lack of it), finances (debt, unpaid bills and so on) and much else besides. Pain… whether it
Change requires making choices. It’s not enough to dream of changing. It’s not enough to desire change. In order for us to change, we will need to make a decision. We must choose to change. Change is intentional. Are we going to be any different in six months? Are we going to be better a
When we caught in heavy traffic, we usually go to a shortcut. But sometimes shortcut is suddenly sabotage by constructions, a roadblock and then detour that leads multiple turns and end up back we started, forced to return to the traffic jam and go through it to get home. Shortcuts are always shortsighted. It will
Fellowship – it’s a wonderful word. It’s what we were made for. It satisfies the deepest longings of our heart. It is the answer to loneliness. Nothing in this life compares with it. It starts now and goes on forever. There is no greater joy in life than fellowship. It expresses a relationship of great
