Love, joy, and peace are the pillars of a healthy heart. Thanksgiving activates love, joy, and peace inside of you. Thanksgiving is a perspective. It is not based on what you’ve been through but what you choose to think about.

Your loving heavenly Father has rest for you. Rest from the struggle of trying to fix yourself and live life in your own strength. Believe in the finished work of Christ and enter into the sweet spot of His rest.

One sacrifice for sins for all people for all time. He took your shame and gave you His glory.

Stop trying to be a better Christian. Stop trying to fix yourself. Get caught up in the wonders of His love for you. Lean your whole person on Him. Look to Him for His guidance, strength, and provision. You have become His very own.

Man does not have a solution for the condemnation of sin. God does. He has provided THE solution for the sin problem. 

All of us have a past. All of us have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. BUT, When we were re-born from above through faith in Christ we were washed clean, set free from our past, and made new.

As Jesus is so are we in this world. Jesus could face any situation because He knew how much His Father loved Him and supported Him. The Father loves and supports you just as He did Jesus.

A “saved” mind, or renewed mind, is a mind that does not allow fear to operate. A “saved” mind has been changed by the true knowledge of God’s love, power, and provision for us.

The promises of God reveal to us how for us God is. They reveal to us His proactive nature toward our successful outcome. As we renew our mind and realize that God’s promises are our right-now provision, fear is exposed and loses its power over us.

When we grab hold of the true knowledge of God, fear loses its hold on our lives. When we realize how for-us God is, we realize fear is a defeated foe.
