If you have been saved, then – by definition – you are in process. No one is an instantaneous mature Christian. There is a lifetime of discovering what this means, who you are, what your responsibilities are… but also Whose you are and what this means. Example: do you realize you have an inheritance? You do, […]
Have you ever realized that if you don’t believe in yourself, that you will never understand, appreciate, or even accept that someone else does? Have you ever realized that if you don’t love yourself you can’t accept love from another? I would also question if you can extend love to others. Have you ever realized
One of the most visible proofs of who you are is seen in your behavior. It is a testament to who you are becoming, what’s important to you, whose you are, what you believe in and act upon, and a great deal more. It confirms you as well as your words. ‘You don’t need to prove
I realize that this smacks of, “if at first you don’t succeed… try, try again”. True. But the question is – is this how you react, is this your mindset? Or do you think, ‘this wasn’t the best choice… now what?’ Or do you throw your hands up and walk away? Was it really a

Do you want or need to change you? First, it has to become relevant and intentional, not just some vague ‘I need to change… my attitude.’ Without specificity, it will never move into an action phase. Second, what are you changing… into? What do you want as the result of the change? Do you know
