It is not the presence of life's storms that defeats us; it is the absence of Christ's presence. Don’t act like you don't have a Savior! Suffering doesn’t mean God has something against you. Seek Him until you find Him. It's that simple, really. Every time you entertain fear, you’re allowing your heart to defy His promises.

What do I fear? What do I want? Fears and hopes become the substance of what is truly ruling my life. Faith that doesn't set me free is usually blocked by an idol that is demanding I serve it. Fear, sorrow, or anger are signs of an idol manipulating and dominating me. Turning from it will release my faith.

God’s best for us is not what things He can give. His best is giving Himself to us. Too many people have tried to apprehend the love of God in the suffering in their world yet haven’t, because God isn't bigger to them than their world is. Have faith that Christ will light up the darkest tombs in your life.

You’ve been given all you need to be all that God’s called you to be. But your faith must be tested in the fire to produce the patience you need to love with. Don’t fret. Refining doesn’t mean failure. Your heaviness in faith’s season of testing will end in joy that is unspeakable and full of glory forever.

"Lord, I’ve been shaken like a leaf. How can I relate to you, you’re so big?” "Just jump in," He said! "Stop trying to figure out how I work. Trust Me. Don’t act like I’m no bigger than your thoughts. You measure speed and distance by the speed of light. I can walk faster than that! I’m much bigger than your problems.”

Kingdom life begins where carnal life ends. My despair over my failures is the crucifixion that begins His resurrection in me. I may think God is disappointed in me until I realize it’s just failed faith in myself. When I’ve hit bottom and am empty, God can start filling me up with His life. I can resign as manager of the universe!

The trauma of a life tragically altered numbs the senses until faith seems impossible. God takes the outrageous things of life, like the crucifixion, and He turns them all into seeds of eternal victory! A firestorm is a sign of impending divine intervention. He builds faith in places of impossibilities.

Sometimes I spend too much time thinking about who I’m not instead of who I am. To deny who I am is to deny who Christ is, for He gave His life to me. My sin and unbelief have kept me from the fulfillment of self-esteem, not my lack of accomplishments. God has crowned us with glory and honor. Ps. 8
