Do you know that you have a new identity in Christ?

When you believe in and accept the sacrifice that Christ made for you on the cross and ask Him to be the Lord of your life, you take on a new identity!

The key to the transformation you are looking for is found in your new identity.

You become a daughter of the King! You belong to Christ and you are His prized possession! 

The old self is gone, your new self is here!

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus”. (Romans 8:1)

You are a new creation!

Have you received your new identity?

Good conflict resolution is integral to healthy relationships.

This picture reminds me of the importance of staying on an even keel when disagreements arise; staying steady, balanced, and on course.

When we feel hurt or upset by the words or actions of someone we care about, controlling our emotions is one of the ways we can maintain balance to have a clear perspective of the situation at hand.

We may feel out of control at the moment, but we can choose to stay calm and control our response. Then we will have our best shot at solving the problem at hand in a peaceful, harmonious manner.

We can even choose JOY in our trials! Joy comes from recognizing that that our trials can lead us towards faithfulness, loyalty, and, as Merriam-Webster notes, provide a “steady and unwavering course in love, allegiance and conviction.” 

I find it especially satisfying when I’m able to help people toward the resolution of difficult conflicts.

Do you ever feel like your prayers aren’t reaching their destination? Like the Lord is a million miles away and couldn’t possibly be tuning in to your prayers and the cries of your heart?

 

I want to encourage you today – God is listening! He is nearer to you than you realize! Nearer to you than your own soul and your most secret thoughts! It is difficult for us to comprehend this fully, but we need to take this truth in and operate from this place of assurance that He hears you!

 

He is talking to you. Can you hear Him?

In order to deepen our faith, we need to exercise it!

 

It is only by faith that we can acknowledge and accept that our Father has allowed everything that is happening in our world, including all of the circumstances in our lives and all that has ever happened to us. He allows all of it for His good purposes, as well as for our own.

 

Our acknowledgement of this truth, even though we frequently can’t understand His purpose, exercises, deepens and strengthens our faith. 

 

Without faith, it is impossible to have a relationship with God. Without faith, it is impossible to please Him.

 

God’s Word says that we will be rewarded for our faith! A major part of the reward is true contentment, even in the unstable world in which we live.

 

Faith enables us to be in a trusting relationship with God despite our troubles and the power of faith can even move mountains (Mark 11:23).

 

I love this quote by W. Graham Scroggie, “Sight is worldly wisdom, but faith is heavenly wisdom”.

 

We need to live by faith, not by sight!

 

How is your faith these days? Do you have faith in God despite all the craziness in the world?

God is seeking our transformation!

God wants us to view ourselves the way He views us – as “chosen and precious” (1 Peter 2:4)!

Our belief in Christ and acceptance of His love for us in His sacrifice on the cross leads to transformation by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2).

Coaching promotes transformation one person at a time as we invest ourselves in helping others in their renewal.

Are you seeking the renewal of your mind through the absorption of God’s word?

How can you begin contributing to God’s desire to transform the world this year?

Here’s to health in 2022!

 

God desires for His children to be healthy and to enjoy healthy, loving relationships.

Loving others well begins with understanding and accepting God’s love for you.

You are a precious child of God!

As He promises to bring health and healing to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 33:6), He wants you to be complete in Him and able to fulfill His plan and purpose.

He will heal His people and they will enjoy abundant peace and security!

Are you going to accept God’s best for you in the new year?

Merry Christmas!

 

I love the comforting thought of God always being with me.

 

Charles Stanley comments that “Because of the indwelling Christ, believers are never separated from His permanent presence. We are in Christ and He is in us. What an encouragement! What a comfort! What an assurance! We always have a shoulder to lean on – the broad shoulders of Immanuel. We always have someone to listen to our heartache – our constant Companion and Friend, Jesus.”

 

Isn’t this a wonderful gift?!

What is the greatest gift you are giving this Christmas?

The greatest gift that our Father has ever given us is salvation in His son, Jesus.

If you have accepted His miraculous gift, then you can know for certain that you belong to Him.

You may feel alone, and even abandoned at times, but this is a deception.

That our Lord paid such a huge price for you demonstrates how valuable you are to Him.

You need to trust that He has good things in store for you, even when you cannot envision it.

Do you know how cherished you are? Do you know your worth?

Christmastime brings us beautiful songs about peace on earth ~

“All is calm, all is bright.”

We long for peace in our hearts, but often do not feel it.

There is talk of World Peace, but it does not come.

There is only one place to look for true peace.

Only the Lord of Peace can give us peace at all times and in every way.

The gospel of Peace that He has brought us declares His love for us.

When we are still, we can feel His presence.

Even in the midst of the busyness of Christmas and even in the storms of life.

We have the assurance that He is with us and we can enjoy His Peace.

Do you know this kind of Peace?

I am beginning this week with gratitude in my heart.

I am grateful for the love of family and that I was able to make the long journey with my son to spend time with mine for Thanksgiving.

I am most grateful, however, for love that is truly unfailing.

God’s love.

The more thankful I become, the more I feel His love.

No love can truly comfort me like His love.

No other love completely surrounds me when I am alone.

No other love fills me with such joy.

Do you know His love?
