Rather than simply twist in the winds of confusion, revert to your training. Return to what is true.

Infatuation is like betting on the lottery. Love is like having money in the bank.

Worry is built upon a false supposition—that God is insufficient to handle your concerns.

There it was. The crisis was revealed, the mystery unfolded—a trio of failings that reduced Ashlie to sobs.

By way of his charismatic personality, administrative prowess, and creative genius he has built an empire of great historical and worldwide influence founded under the title Hell, Inc. He now serves as the company’s President and Chairman with offices and viable concerns worldwide.

In many cases Christians today are no better off with the New Testament than they were without it in Jesus’ day. I mean, they may have it, but unless they know what’s in it they won’t derive any benefit from it. Many of them only know what they’ve been taught or heard. I love these folks. 

They become introspective and subject to self-condemnation, searching for the cause of their failure while expending great spiritual effort to deal with the hideous “self.” Never mind that their old self was dealt a fatal blow in Christ.

Being too busy to stop and envision means your world shrinks and your reason for existing gets small, repetitive, and uninteresting—and this is how burnout occurs.

Your decision is not going to ruin God’s day. Neither is your decision going to separate you from God. He is in you! It is not possible to miss Him when you are trusting Him.
