fight

fight with a purpose and certainty, for you will surely have to fight.

your thoughts become you

your thoughts inevitably become your destiny. what you choose, what you think, what you do – becomes you.

critical phase of renewal

you’re in that critical phase of renewal – that phase where you must guard your thoughts against discouragement or giving up. continue to be renewed.

don’t lose heart

though you may toil and labor many days and seem to yield nothing, don’t lose heart. roots to the trees that will soon yield fruit, as a result of your efforts, are growing… even now.

in grace anyway

…but respond in grace anyway.

never outside

despite our inability to comprehend or explain, we are never outside the grace of God.

made to stand out

more valuable and lasting than being popular is to be consistent within your specific purpose. stop trying to fit in when you were created to stand out.

that’s what faith is

walk right up to the edge of your circumstance, close your eyes, see the bright red sparks of possibility dancing beneath your lids, feel God’s presence, whisper a prayer to Him… and leap. that’s what faith is.
