eye views
Choose to view life through God's eyes.
jesus believe eye
Jesus kept it simple. The lesson wasn't complicated. 'I speak; you believe My word; your son will be fine.' We complicate what God has made simple by seeing the world through human eyes. We want to see in order to believe and presume that our limitations are His.
reading eye thinking
Choose to view life through God's eyes. This will not be easy because it doesn't come naturally to us. We cannot do this on our own. We have to allow God to elevate our vantage point. Start by reading His Word, the Bible...Pray and ask God to transform your thinking. Let Him do what you cannot. Ask Him to give you an eternal, divine perspective.
attitude believe mean
While I wholeheartedly believe in choosing to approach every challenge with a great attitude, I don't mean that we should abandon authenticity and live in fantasyland.
christian religion sacred
I don't see life divided into public and private, secular and sacred. It's all an open place of service before our God.
love risk tolls
If we want the advantages of love, then we must be willing to take the risks of love. And that requires vulnerability. Of course, we can refuse this path and trod another one devoid of openness. But the toll on such a road is extremely high.
confidence attitude choices
Only you can determine your choice of attitude. Choose wisely, choose carefully, choose confidently!
confidence jobs needs
There are times we need to tell ourselves, "Good job!" when we know that is true.
positive giving-up light
I'm glad . . . that Edison didn't give up on the light bulb. That Luther refused to back down. That Michelangelo kept painting. That Lindbergh kept flying.
faith body way
The crisis of physical hunger is essentially a crisis of faith. What or whom will you trust to meet your most basic needs? Will you trust the God who made human bodies, or will you seek your own way? (Deuteronomy 8:1-3)
fear worry people
Life...as God intended it enables us to live above the drag of fear, superstition, shame, pessimism, guilt, anxiety, worry, and all the negativity that keeps people from seizing each day as a gift from Him.
maturity people coaching
For there to be true maturity, people must be given room to grow, which includes room to fail...
jesus issues faithfulness
Peter must have thought, "Who am I compared to Mr. Faithfulness (John)?" But Jesus clarified the issue. John was responsible for John. Peter was responsible for Peter. And each had only one command to heed: "Follow Me." (John 21:20-22)
acceptance blessing hands
Acceptance is taking from God's hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving.
