Dwelling, remaining, abiding...it's not a mystery, it's a relationship.

The Secret Place is not a place of escape from your problems. It is not a place to go cower while the world goes off the deep end. 

The Secret Place is a place where you engage with the empowering presence of God in you and discover earth-shaking, life-changing possibilities and solutions.

Jesus got things done. But He never hustled.

Jesus’s pace was always this, “I only do what I see my Father doing.”

Jesus’s pace sometimes disappointed people. Often, it confused people. But He never changed His pace.

“Oh, the Lord must be teaching me patience.”

I've said that many times before in an attempt to absorb frustration. Let me tell you from experience what happens with you absorb frustration — eventually you explode with frustration.

That's not how patience works.

Here’s the thing, when we give the power of definition over to the world, it distorts and diminishes the truth in our hearts and minds.

I'm renewing my mind about patience these days. I'm thinking differently, and practicing patience as someone who is in this world, but not of it.

You and I are not running out of patience, because it's not a limited resource, it's the endless nature of God.

God is not limited in His patience, He is relentless in it.

As humans, we're very good at remembering our pasts. Past pains, hurts, disappointments, regrets, and sins...not just ours, but past sins of others as well.

We often choose to feed on our faithlessness instead on God's faithfulness.

This only keeps past failures present in our hearts and minds, and guarantees future bondage and brokenness because we’re taking it with us into each new day.

But what would happen if we fed only on God's faithfulness?

Everything God is, He is relentlessly. God is ALWAYS going to be love. ALWAYS gentle. ALWAYS patient. ALWAYS kind.

He is consistent, constant, unceasing, firm in His promise, and can be trusted at all times.

He has not dropped His kindness all the sudden just because of how the world is acting.

He has not forfeited His peace just because the circumstances have gotten chaotic.

He has not disregarded His goodness towards you, just because people have not been good...or you have not been good.

We can be at rest, knowing that it’s HIS faithfulness that is meant to be our focus… not our own...not another person’s.

I used to think of self-control as an "unexciting" fruit of the a Spirit. But I have discovered it isn't merely a discipline, it is an absolute delight! 

With self-control we can always be led by peace not pressure.

We don’t often think of gentleness and greatness together, but God does. It's His reality.

Did you know God is relentlessly gentle with you?

We don’t change God, He changes us.

Our behavior, good or bad, never makes Him act outside of Himself.

Let's stop trying to talk God into our reality and allow Him to talk us into His reality.
