You are founded in joy, created for joy, and destined for joy. Joy is where you come from. Joy is what you are created to experience. Joy is where you are headed.

"Will you follow Me even though you don't feel Me?" Jesus asks me in these moments.

Jonathan Merritt - Jesus is Better than You Imagined

It's also essential to know that the "feeling" of God's nearness is not the evidence of His presence. Jesus said fruit, not feeling, is the mark of faith.

The God of the Bible is not one who settles in a single place waiting for us to show up, but one who scatters His presence in every nook and cranny.

Breathing restoration is one of the most powerful displays of God's unflinching love. As we breathe God's restoration into our own lives, we are better able to exhale his restoration to others. When we breathe out restoration, we spread the goodness of God. When we breathe out restoration, we release grace and hope immeasurable. When we breathe out restoration, we join God as he beats back hell and unleashes heaven on behalf of those he's created.

That Christ has died is a fact, that the two thieves have died is a fact, and that you have died is a fact also. Let me tell you, You have died! You are done with! You are ruled out! The self you loathe is on the Cross in Christ. And "he that is dead is freed from sin" (Romans 6:7, A.V.). This is the Gospel for Christians.

A self-led life and a Spirit-led life are the same thing; we seek the Holy Spirit until He gives us His purpose, then we lead ourselves toward it in His power.

Proverbs 21:31 reads,”The horse is made ready for the day of battle but victory rests with the Lord.”  Solomon wisely walks the fine line here: we are responsible to make the horse ready (self-leadership) but God ultimately gives the victory (God’s sovereignty). The perspective in this verse frees us up to self-lead. And, strangely, God seems to reserve His sovereign victories to those who prepare the horse.

Our sins are dealt with by the Blood, but we ourselves are dealt with by the Cross. The Blood procures our pardon for what we have done; the Cross procures our deliverance from what we are.

Generosity has little to do with giving gifts, and everything to do with giving space to others to be who they are.

It’s not just other people we need to forgive. We also need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn’t do. All the things we should have done.

Mitch Albom (via onlinecounsellingcollege)

[kimboklaer]

But if we have learned to put no confidence in the flesh, we shall not wonder if we sin, for the very nature of the flesh is to sin. Do you understand what I mean? It is because we have not come to appreciate our true nature and to see how helpless we are that we still have some expectation in ourselves, with the result that, when Satan comes along and accuses us, we go down under it.

Watchman Nee

[kimboklaer]

Your approach to God is therefore always in boldness; and that boldness is yours through the Blood and never through your personal attainment. Whatever be your measure of attainment today or yesterday or the day before, as soon as you make a conscious move into the Most Holy Place, immediately you have to take your stand upon the safe and only ground of the shed Blood. Whether you have had a good day or a bad day, whether you have consciously sinned or not, your basis of approach is always the same -- the Blood of Christ. That is the ground upon which you may enter, and there is no other.

Watchman Nee

[kimboklaer]

The work of God within us must be something wholly new. "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you" (Ezekiel 36:26).

Watchman Nee

[kimboklaer]

It will help us greatly, and save us from much confusion, if we keep constantly before us this fact, that God will answer all our questions in one way only, namely, by showing us more of His Son.
