To deny something is to declare it’s untrue. To deny Jesus is to say with our words, thoughts, or actions that we don’t really believe the truth of who Jesus says He is or what He says He’ll do. How heartbreaking. For us. For Jesus. Lysa TerKeurst

When we love deeply, we hurt deeply. This is why we have to learn how to trust the process of healing. See healing as unfolding layers of unexpected strength and richly revealed wisdom, It feels like a secret wisdom God is whispering into the depth of our soul. Lysa TerKeurst

Why do so few people overcome their problems & become successful? We can access more info & expertise than ever before. but having info isn't enough. If u just listen, hope, wish, dream, nothing will change & you'll be mired in the old life. You have to do something. Bob Merritt

RT @OmahaProd: Still one of our favorite Super Bowl commercials.

The biggest test of honesty & strength is to ask others to help u. If u have kids, they’ll be happy to point out your flaws. Ask your spouse or a trusted friend what behaviors cause frustration and pain. That requires graduate-level strength and humility. Bob Merritt

Humility gets a bad rap, though, because many people view it as a weakness. But it’s just the opposite. You’ll never hear a person with weak character say things like “I was wrong. I blew it. I need help. Will you forgive me?” Only the strong admit their weaknesses. Bob Merritt

Let pain be a signal & say, “You know, that hurts. I’d better fix that, heal that… be done w that.” People decide to stop what causes them pain everyday & you can too. By acknowledging the pain & doing something about it, you can live in ways you never could before. Bob Merritt

I have learned that in the arms of Christ, as I have yielded my heart to His heart, renewed my mind with His words, and placed my hand into His hand, dreams do come true! Leah Savage

The rt hand in Scripture is the Hebrew word yamin which means strength & life. When I place my hand into the hands of the Lord I am letting go of living my life in my own strength & I am receiving the life of Christ & His strength that is made perfect in my weakness. Leah Savage

I have learned that when we abide in His Word, the power of lies is broken, and we become free. This freedom is released in our lives as we exchange our words for Christ’s words. The word “abide” in Greek is meno, which means to continue, endure, remain, to be held. Leah Savage

His agapé love sees beyond our weaknesses, covers our sinfulness, and meets us at the places of our deepest needs. Leah Savage

I know that your life may not be going the way you thought it would. It may feel like this dark valley will never end. It may feel like the battle is raging with no relief in sight. Be assured, God is with you. He is at work even when you cannot see it. This dark valley will end.

I see you handsome!

When we pray & are in God’s Word our heart becomes more like God’s heart. God’s heart is full of mercy & grace so the closer we are to him, the more grace/mercy we can give. Be strong present, feel your feelings, then let your hurt go and stand firm in your faith. God loves you.
