Daily Devotional (195)

• Take Off the Mask
• Our society is crying out for authenticity - don't hide behind your pride or fear, live out your faith for all to see.
• Moving Past Your Past
• If God has let go of your sins, now it’s your turn to let go of them.
• Finding Freedom in Forgiveness
• Forgive, and keep on forgiving. It’s the only way forward. It’s the only path to freedom.
• When Saying "Yes" Means Saying "No"
• Stop letting less important things get in the way of the most important commitments in your life! Until you learn to say "no", you'll be overwhelmed by "yes".
• Turning Conflict Into Adventure
• Conflict can be part of God’s adventure for us.
• God Uses Imperfect People
• It's so easy to fall into the trap of shame and self-condemnation, the trap that tells us we are too imperfect to be used for God's glory. None of us is without sin, but all of us can be used to further the Lord's Kingdom!
• Handling Rejection
• The question of how to handle rejection becomes easier when you answer a foundational question: Who am I going to live my life for—God or humans?
• Changing Your Focus Overcomes Discouragement
• To limit discouragement, we must move from a perspective that says, “It’s all about me” to one that realizes, “It’s all about God.”
• Responding to Anger
• Whenever we are angry and don’t express it appropriately, the anger comes back to hurt us.
• Christlike or Christless?
• Obedience is much easier when we’re living topped off and spiritually refueled.
