take it and run

Change something today.

The thing that's always tripping you up?

The something you growl at, wishing it was different?

Today,

do something about it.

Easy for me to say, right?

I'm not you.

I don't have the day you do.

The circumstances.

The situation.

I haven't walked the road that you have.

True.

But that thing?

That habit or attitude or rut that you've gotten yourself into?

That mode of unforgiveness

(I'm preaching to myself now),

that hurt that you wear because you feel like you can't get loose from it?

Guess what?

With Christ,

you can.

He doesn't want us stuck.

He has too many plans for us to be hindered by something

we don't have to be chained to.

So today,

change something.

See yourself from God's point of view

and do life today differently.

Walk in the knowledge that you are empowered,

bold,

spirit-of-fear-less.

Today, take a deep breath

and do something different when you're tempted to act the

way you've been acting.

That spirit of power we talked about yesterday?

In Christ, it's yours.

Take it and run it with it. 

Today.

But in all these things 

we are completely victorious 

through God who showed his love for us. 

Yes, I am sure that neither death, nor life, 

nor angels, nor ruling spirits, 

nothing now, nothing in the future, no powers,  

nothing above us, nothing below us, 

nor anything else in the whole world 

will ever be able to separate us 

from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

~Romans 8:37-39

For God has not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

~2 Timothy 1:7

Many blessings,
