LORD, you are a shield around me,
my glory, you keep my head held high.

The only way I am able to rise from my bed each and every day.
“But He said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, the I am strong.”- 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

"For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us."
"The enemy lies to make the problems we face appear larger than the solutions we carry."
The Christian must be kind with everyone. His words and actions should exude the grace of the Holy Spirit which dwells in his soul, so as to bear witness to his Christian way of life and that the name of God might be glorified.

If you never realize how already valued, accepted, and loved you are by your Father, you will constantly look for it from other people.
You will constantly think and wonder why, “nobody loves me”, “my needs aren’t getting met”, “this church isn’t loving”, “my parent’s don’t value me”,…

Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone - Romans 12:18 - Designed by Chris Rushing. Available as a print here.
"We aren’t really called to save the world, not even to save one person. Jesus does that. We are just called to love with abandon. We are called to enter into our neighbor’s sufferings and love them right there."
When a man begins with warm faith to live well, the enemy of good usually sends him various frightful temptations, so that he, being daunted by this, might leave off the work of his good desire. But if you will not prepare yourself for meeting such temptations, then beware of undertaking good labor.
- Saint Paisius Velichkovsky, “Field Flowers”

Even in the midst of great pain, Lord, I praise you for that which is. I will not refuse this grief or close myself to this anguish. Let shallow men pray for ease: “Comfort us; shield us from sorrow.” I pray for whatever you send me, and I ask to receive it as your gift. You have put joy in my heart greater than all the world’s riches. I lie down trusting the darkness, for I know that even now you are here.
