If you're ever asked this question, you are being manipulated.....
The only way to manipulate people is to convince them to believe a lie. The truth doesn’t manipulate anyone. It sets them free. Feelings are a powerful thing and they should not be ignored. Many times they lead us to truth, but more often than not, acting on them alone will lead to our own destruction. Following our feelings without seriously considering the truth will hurt everyone around us and destroy us. Don’t ignore your feelings, but please don’t follow them. Let them be a warning sign tha

It’s the best of all I have to share and available on Amazon and are Shieldsofstrength.com Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

The last thing I do before going to sleep every night
What we go to sleep thinking about impacts how we rest and how we start tomorrow. Make a conscious effort to fall asleep grateful for the little things that are truly the big things. Just having a bed to sleep in is a blessing in itself. "Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.” Ps. 100:4-5

Do all wounds heal?
It’s God that does the healing but He needs us at some point to move on and trust Him. Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed.

What is your authentic self
Read this many times. It’s insane truth written by CS Lewis. Your real, new self (which is Christ's and also yours, and yours just because it is His) will not come as long as you are looking for it. It will come when you are looking for Him. Does that sound strange? The same principle holds, you know, for more everyday matters. Even in social life, you will never make a good impression on other people until you stop thinking about what sort of impression you are making. Even in literature and ar

What is the difference between regret and repentance
Regret doesn’t equal repentance and repentance doesn’t mean we won’t have regrets. If we have really repented then we are likely in the fight of our lives. The fight to never ever do it again. Declaring independence is not the end of the fight it’s the beginning. I discuss this all extensively in “The Right Fight”. How to live a loving life. If you haven’t read it please do and if you have please leave a review. If you still feel shame or guilt for what you have repented for I say thank Jesus a

Why you don’t have to know your purpose to find it
I often say the little things are the big things. Every decision we make from what seems little to what seems big is one more step towards or away from our purpose. The good news is we are never more than the next right decision from turning everything around and heading back to what God has for us. Our purpose is to live a loving life and we have unique gifts to help us fulfill exactly what God created us to do. Nothing in this world is more fulfilling than being where God called us. It’s never
