Each moment that you’re given is a precious gift from God. You can
choose to have a thankful attitude and live each moment full of joy,
simply because God is good. In The Power of Thank You: Discover The Joy
Of Gratitude, renowned Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling
author Joyce Meyer encourages us to take a look at ourselves and the
importance of being thankful.
Living life with a heart of gratitude for who God is and what He has
done lifts your burdens and allows you to see everything in a different
light. Regularly giving thanks to God not only helps you fully realize
how He’s working in your life, it gives you a new perspective—your mind
is renewed, your attitude is improved, and you're filled with joy.
Things will certainly happen to you that don’t seem fair, and it’s much
easier to make excuses and feel sorry for yourself. Keep saying, “I
trust You, God, and I believe You will work it all out for my good.” If
you find The Power of Thank You in every situation, truly believing
that God is working everything out for your good, you will end up with
the victory every single time.
Jamie Winship spent nearly 30 years living and working in conflict
zones, and during that time he has learned an important truth: all
human conflict originates from fear, and fear originates from a
false view of God, ourselves, and others. Until we exchange what's
false for what's real, we will never experience being fully alive,
fully human, and fully free. Unpacking the power of knowing our
true identity in Christ, Winship takes us on a journey of telling
ourselves the truth, changing our mindsets, and experiencing actual
life transformation that leads to radical courage in the face of
all that life throws at us. With humor, clarity, and real-life
practicality, Living Fearless is your invitation to listen closely
to what God is trying to say to you about himself, about the person
he created you to be--and also about all those other people he
created and loves. If you want to discover the incredible
difference abiding in Christ will make in your life and faith, get
ready to do "a new thing" with God.
Words of Caution for Those Who Think They're Beyond Temptation Too
many Christians, especially those in ministry, believe they are
untouchable--that they're too faithful to fall or too spiritual to
give in to temptation. They deny any sort of weakness, fail to draw
proper boundaries, and end up doing the very things they swore
they'd never do. Pastor and author Brittany Rust was one such
person--until she found herself in the middle of moral failure and
a church-wide scandal. Bewildered, humiliated, and ashamed, she
thought she was beyond redemption. But God's grace met her on the
ground, and here she shares what she's learned through her painful
journey. She unravels the myth of being untouchable, showing how we
start to believe the lie, and how we can protect ourselves from
temptation. Ultimately she shows that to truly flourish in life,
you must be willing to admit weakness--and that no one is beyond
God's redeeming love.
