We have two options when we use our words: we can build or we can destroy.
To love someone is to believe in them. When someone believes in you, it changes everything—how you carry yourself, how you treat others, how you live day after day. You can give that same gift to those around you.
Give who you are. The world will be a better place for it.
The Bible challenges men and women to lead by example and also to teach and pour into those younger than they are, a few steps behind.
This time I’ve been given it’s not mine.
Brave people offer their wisdom liberally to others. (Not opinions. Wisdom.)
Brave people speak love into the lives of others.
Brave people deny themselves and serve others.
BRAVE ENOUGH TO BE WHERE YOU ARE Be present right where you are.
Loving others means being present with them in their pain, being present with them in their joy. It means being all there.
Home is where we find peace, so to sacrifice in that place is to sacrifice deeply.
Prayer is our most direct connection to God—your voice to His ear.
Brave choices always have ripple effects.
“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.” —JOHN 15:18 NIV
The world hated Jesus, but He was brave enough to give His life for it anyway.
God is holy and we are sinners. But Jesus bridged that gap; His death and resurrection cleared that path.
Take a good look at God’s wonders—they’ll take your breath away. —PSALM 66:5 MSG
Your courage affects other people, and it’s just like that confetti popper.
Your life is Jesus’ reward for His suffering—your brave yeses, your courageous noes, hanging on, letting go, going there, staying here, all of it.
