Sunday Seven
- Never allow anyone to establish your potential. If they close doors, let them. If they say you can't, don't take it to heart. God is the one who called you. He can open and close doors. He can do what seems impossible. If He allows you to be where you are He will also sustain you there by His grace.
- Our greatest potential may be hiding behind our greatest fear. Asking yourself "why" may lead you to recognize the source of that mindset.
- God is still assuring us of His presence amid the storms of life. When we choose to get on our knees and read His book, we find evidence of who He is to us and in us. My conviction is that though my situation does not always change, my resolve to stand firm and trust God is strengthened.
- Holding on to grudges is a waste of time. Passing personal grudges on unsuspecting people is like planting weeds in a perfectly beautiful garden. This week I chose to get on my knees and repent from planting bad seeds on unsuspecting people. May God give me wisdom to speak only what encourages and blesses others.
- Distractions come to anyone who receives a word from God. The word I'm talking about are the words from the Bible. When we read and believe that Jesus is our peace, a distraction comes our way to derail us from this truth. I find it helpful to recognize distractions for what they are. I'm learning to go back to God's word and immerse myself in His truth. I benefit from speaking this truth to God in prayer as I fight against any distractions that come my way. God's word will always prevail, no matter what the enemy of our souls tries to do.
- I'm amazed at how some lovely humans use intimidation as their first line of contact. I learned to keep a smile on my face and the kindness of God in my heart. I never match their energy because that's not what God called me to do. He called me to represent Him at all times. I often use peace and self-control as the counter strategy for intimidation. So far so good.
- I'm grateful God brought us to Georgia. I can't thank God enough for our community. I never thought I'd work for the government but here I am serving God and community and loving my experience.
