emboldened: Living a bold Christian life

When you are in the inevitable troughs of life do you seek out the blessings or create and equally deep trough of faith?

God has never left you. He will never leave you. Can you say the same to Him?

God gives generously and freely. He asks us to do the same with goodness and kindness.

Our selfish ways are destructive -- we know because it's been implanted in our hearts. But the pull is so great. We need the saving grace of Jesus to keep us cleansed.

Who to you most admire and seek imitate?

Waiting patiently means taking action while we rest our hope in God. Pray.

The line is just as long for Christians and non-Christians. How will the world see you handling the wait?

Are you making decisions then asking God to bless those choices? You've got it all backwards my friend!

You cannot by worry, fear or anger add a single hour to your life. But God can make your life more peaceful.

Are you still living in a world where you still seek your will not God's? Your will will not bring you peacefulness, only discord.

Peace with God is like a treaty in war. When we accept Jesus as our savior, God signs on the dotted line and calls us friend.

When we find joy in the smallest gifts we can find joy in our trials. emboldened.net
