I am so grateful for all the freedoms we have in Christ! And yet, how willing are we to suspend taking advantage of those freedoms in order to make sure our fellow believers are not tripped up by our freedoms? We are within our rights to worship, eat, dress, speak and do many other things as we wish that don’t transgress any law. But when we exercise those freedoms at the expense of another’s conscience, we break the Law of Love, the Law of loving our neighbor as ourselves. How might we show the love of Christ by temporarily suspending our rights?
Are you imperfect? Join the club that includes all of humanity! But don’t allow your imperfections to accuse you and keep you from doing all God is calling you to do. Place yourself in His hands to purify AND to use.
When someone sins against you, it feels so stingingly personal. And yet, there is a way to take yourself out of the equation and release them from the debt they “owe” you. Because you belong to God, He takes sins against you personally and the debt others owe is truly a debt to Him.
In spite of the fact that I feel like I am just beginning to actually walk in my calling, I've been at it for a very long time! Some of you have asked me questions and I want to give you my very best piece of advice.
Are you battling discouragement as you fight for your dreams? Don't quit! God won't drag you to your dreams. You have to keep fighting! If you quit now, the only thing you'll be left with is regret.
Is "Balance" all it's cracked up to be? Maybe instead of balancing ourselves, we should let Someone wiser tell us what balance looks like for us individually.
