We model how much we love our kids by the boundaries we set for them.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned after a lifetime of facing fears, it’s that there’s no reward without some risk.
Emotional hurts are like cancers of the soul. If we don’t get them out, they can poison the whole soul and body.
Satan wants to use sharks to move you from your purpose. Don’t let him!
People may betray you, but you don’t need to take it personally.
If you let sharks call the shots, control, and manipulate you, it will lead you down a road of burnout, hopelessness, and even depression.
You were never created to please people; you were created to please God.
We may not be able to make people’s decisions, but we can choose to forgive and be made whole in Him.
You are not someone’s answer. You are an example of what the answer can do in someone’s life, and you are compelled to share how you did it by God’s Word and His grace, but only their yielding in obedience to God is their answer.
You can never do for someone what they are not willing to do for themselves.
We must be compassionate but not enable people to blame or shame us out of God’s blessings.
We don’t need to be fearful of sharks, but we do need to have an awareness of them.
Be bold! Be courageous! God’s grace is backing you!
God has called us to love people, to be an example, and to be kind, but we have to take courage and be wise because there are sharks out there.
If you allow sharks to dictate your decisions, they will try to exert their will on you more and more.
Why do we try to look for sharks? Why do we try to please the sharks that hurt us, hold us back, and keep us from our destinies?
We must have heart and overcome if we are to thrive in life and not merely survive.
If we are living for the approval of others, we aren’t living for the approval of God.
You only need one approval, and that’s God’s!
If you have to perform for people’s approval, trust me, it’s not worth having.
