a word to begin our weekend...

Via Feathers of Inspiration, Refine Us.

Knowing changes how I think. Believing changes how I live.

Camp Mini-Yo-We, July 2009. That's me "believing" on the high ropes course!

I know God loves me; believing it means I live as the beloved.

I know I am forgiven; believing it means I live in gratitude for grace.

I know God has great plans for me; believing it means I live with a sense of expectation and anticipation.

I know there is spiritual warfare; believing means I prepare to stand against the Enemy each and every day.

I know that there is a heaven; believing means I live with the end in mind.

I know there are parts of my heart God longs to restore; believing that prompts me to surrender them to Him.

I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me; believing means I won’t try to accomplish God things in my own strength.

I know I have a Heavenly Father that loves me, cares for me and has set me a part; believing that means I live with the identity of a son.

Thanks for this reminder Feathers and Refine Us!
