I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in secret places … In the most unlikely places I will bless your efforts and reward your perseverance with small indications of your victory.
Lysa TerKeurst
Refusing to gossip is a beautiful decision to make. It not only creates richer friendships but, more importantly, it makes our relationship with the Lord more authentic and believable. We honor God when we honor each other.

We can't always fix our circumstances, but we can fix our minds on God
Lysa TerKeurst
Sometimes we miss the miraculous of all that we have been blessed with because we're so focused on the one thing we don't have. When this happens, we become disillusioned with all that we do have.
Lysa TerKeurst
I want my kids to head out the door full of peace, not the echoes of my frustrations.

Spending some time getting quiet can really be the best remedy for tangled situations. Taking a step back from all the emotion, frustration, and exhaustion to sit quietly with Jesus will do more to untangle a mess than anything else I've ever found.

God is mighty. God is caring. God is worthy of praise. God is loving. God is able. God is in control. Nothing takes God by surprise. Some sweet reminders to soak in before falling asleep tonight.

God, I want to see You. God, I want to hear You. God, I want to know You. God, I want to follow hard after You. And even before I know what I will face today, I say yes to You.

Being uncertain and scared and riddled with doubt some days isn't a sign of bad things to come. It's actually quite the opposite. After all, if great things weren't on the horizon, I don't think the enemy would be so bent on attacking us.
Lysa TerKeurst
God does not want to make us comfortable as much as He wants to make us comfort-able - to take the comfort that we receive and share it with others.
Lysa TerKeurst
The only true satisfaction we can seek is the satisfaction of being obedient to the Lord.
Lysa TerKeurst
God made us to consume food. He did not make food to consume us.

God is good to me, even when life doesn’t feel good to me.
Lysa TerKeurst
Tonight, no matter what you're going through... backtrack and remember all the places where God has been so faithful before in your life. And know. Know with assurance. And boldness. And confidence. He is the same faithful God.
Lysa TerKeurst
Lord, help me to see what comes my way as an opportunity instead of an inconvenience.
Lysa TerKeurst
When we have the same thought again, the line of the original thought is deepened, causing what's called a memory trace. With each repetition the trace goes deeper and deeper, forming and embedding a pattern of thought. When an emotion is tied to this thought pattern, the memory trace grows exponentially stronger.
Lysa TerKeurst
Everything I do and say tells a story of who I am serving. If I am acting out of anger and spite, I am serving the father of darkness and spreading his darkness. If I am honoring to the Lord with my actions, I am serving to further the name of Jesus and spreading His light.
Lysa TerKeurst
The only way our faith can strengthen is if we use it.

Wise women tuck Godly wisdom into the words they speak and even more into the words they choose not to speak.

As I make goals for this year... Jesus, let your thoughts become my thoughts and bend my will to Your will.
