When we think about our life, we must realize that it does not belong to us but has been given to us by God who is our Creator. We are not our own creators, but God is our Creator. So if God is our Creator, we are only stewards and not owners.

Sin separated and broke our intimate relationship with our Creator. God loves us so much that He sent His only begotten Son to die for us and restore that broken relationship. But alas, we still have a choice to accept that free gift of our Salvation and redemption through the restorative work of His Son, Jesus.

The pain and hurt others cause us is a reality for many. But the pain of living with bitterness and unforgiveness can poison your soul and destroy you. When we forgive others, we are not saying what they did was OK, but we are letting go of their hold on us. Forgiving ourselves and others can be one of the hardest things we face in life, but it will lead to the greatest blessings and freedom as a result.

Your thoughts are powerful. “For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he…” Prov 23:7 KJV

Your words are powerful. “Life and death are in the power of the tongue...” Prov 18:21 KJV

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

II Corinthians 12:9 NKJV

https://bible.com/bible/114/2co.12.9.NKJV

Isaiah 26:3 KJV states, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.” When trust goes up, our peace goes up. When our trust goes down, we forfeit our peace.

I believe that the Word commands us to “give thanks in all things” (not for all things) as a drawing card to a deeper place of intimacy and trust

We all have a perspective…a lens through which we see life and events. So, how do you “SEE” your life? Do you see it through the eyes of a victim living in a wretched world? Or do you see through the eyes of trusting a faithful God working all things together? Do you hold a positive or a negative worldview? Reframing our perspective allows us to create a different way of looking at a situation, person, circumstance or relationship.

There are four voices that are raging in our heads on a daily basis. Another way to put it could be “The Battle of the Wills”. 1.The will/voice of God the Father. 2.The will/voice of the enemy. 3.The will/voice of ourselves. 4.The will/voice of the other

Do you know that there is a real daily battlefield going on in your life? It is a battlefield of good versus evil. Some days it is totally obvious but other days it is subtle or not even noticeable. The Word says that we are in a battle. It may not be one that we can see, but none-the-less, it is real. The Bible also tells us how to arm ourselves to win the battle.
