Daily Devotional (31)

• Turning Conflict Into Adventure
• Conflict can be part of God’s adventure for us.
• Real Friends Show Up
• Everyone offers to help! I’ve done this so many times. But, very few people actually show up to help. Real friends show up: what kind of friend are you?
• 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?
• Responding to Anger
• Whenever we are angry and don’t express it appropriately, the anger comes back to hurt us.
• Better Together
• To know and be known; love and be loved; celebrate and be celebrated; and serve and be served…that’s God’s invitation to us today. Isn’t that what you really want?
• How to Treat Soul Cancer
• The steps required to treat skin cancer are actually similar to the steps toward removing the diseased elements that reside within our inner, spiritual selves.
• What Lurks Behind Your Anger?
• Whether we admit it to ourselves or not, anger lurks somewhere in our hearts. If we don’t learn where anger is coming from, it keeps coming back out, over and over.
• No Regrets
• Did you know that listening is a way to express your love and care for another person? It's easy to forget that the true goal of communication isn't just speaking from our own point of view, but hearing the hearts of others as well.
• Affirming "What Could Be"
• We all need people in our lives to see what we don’t see in ourselves. Today, breathe some life into another person by recognizing their potential and telling her or him what could be.
• Everyone Needs an Abishai!
• Living as a mature disciple of Jesus doesn’t happen in isolation. It requires teamwork! Surrounding ourselves with a support system of believers helps to strengthen our faith.
