#GodNeverGivesUp
“He's not giving up on you no matter what you've done, no matter where you come from, no matter the lifestyle you happen to be living. He has not given up on you. He doesn't jump all over you when you make a mistake. He he doesn't belittle you when when you fall off the wagon or when you ignore him or you walk away from him or even intentionally defy him. Instead, he waits. He waits patiently for you to repent. Repent, fancy word. It's kind of a churchy word that means we we turn from our sins. That's what it means to repent.”

#TrustGodsTiming
“And what we sometimes mistake is god's slowness or as unanswered prayer is actually god's patience and god's perfect timing Because here's the truth, delays never thwart god's purposes. Just because it hasn't happened the way you think it should have happened or in the timing that you expected doesn't mean it's not gonna happen. Delays do not thwart god's purposes. Delays do not mean denial.”
53s
#RepentanceAndGrace
“We turn from our sins. We we turn away from our sins. We turn towards God. We begin walking with God, walking towards God, and he patiently waits for you to repent. He patiently waits for you to turn back to him. He patiently waits for you to ask for help and to ask for forgiveness. And while God is a God of justice, and and while there certainly are consequences for our sins, friends, your sin has been paid in full through the sacrifice of Jesus on a cross because god loves you and because god is patient.”

#PeaceOverPanic
“So he rebukes them to teach them that far more important than the storm that had been raging all around just a moment ago was his concern for his disciples to experience peace in the midst the storm. You see, peace comes surrender, and it comes from trust. See, the instant calming of the storm, it it was a tremendous miracle. It's a miracle that many of us have probably heard of before, but I wanna suggest to you that the the greater miracle the greater miracle was the stilling of their hearts.”

#ChooseGodNotFear
“But, you know, ultimately, peace is a choice. It's a choice, and it's largely determined by what you choose to see. Like, when you're going through something, when you're going through a heart of a challenge, a storm of some kind, what do you see? Do you see that the storm is the biggest thing around, Or do you see that God is bigger? If if you're not sure as to how to answer that, I'll tell you right now, God is always bigger. God is always bigger than any challenge, any hardship, any storm. It may feel like the storm is gonna take us down or capsize us, but god is always bigger.”

#MakePeaceWithGod
“You see, when we surrender, it leads us into a life of obedience, and that allows the fruit of peace to grow inside of us. So here's here's the key truth we need to hold on to. If we wanna grow the fruit of peace in our lives so that we can become all that god wants us to become, and that is that you can't have the peace of God until you first make peace with God. It's that simple. You can't have the peace of God until you make peace with God, peace with God. It's the result of surrender.”
51s
#JoyBeyondCircumstances
“Here's the key truth we need to understand. Friends, joy is not determined by the circumstances of our lives, but rather by recognizing the presence of god in those circumstances. Look. If we if we can understand that, if we can allow that to to get in here and to get in here, We're gonna be a long ways forward in having more joy and the fruit of joy growing in our lives. That joy has very little to do with the circumstances of our lives, but it has everything to do with recognizing the presence of god in those circumstances.”
52s
#GodNowHereMindset
“Some people look at those words and see god is nowhere. Others look at those words and see god is now here. It's the same letters, and they're in the same order. But it's all about perspective. What do you see? You see, if you see God is nowhere, then you see the absence of God, and you think God has abandoned me, and he's not with me. And why in the world am I going through this? But when you see God is now here, it's all about the presence of God. And you're like, I don't understand why I'm going through this, but god is here. His presence is with me. You see, one perspective will inflate you with joy. The other perspective will deflate you.”
61s
#JoyNotHappiness
“We we live in a world where we think I deserve to be happy, and we strive after happiness. But joy most often is different than happiness. You see, happiness is result is the result of circumstances. It's a result of what's going on in our lives. Happiness has to do with a a temporary state of mind. Happiness, you know this, it comes and it goes. It's conditional. Right? It's conditional on what's going on. But joy is so different. Joy actually can be this permanent mindset. is constant. is independent of circumstances. is unconditional because joy is a gift from god.”

#GodsLoveIsConstant
“And because he is love, get this, he chooses to love you. I I hope you continue throughout your life to wrestle with that because I know I do, that god chooses to love us. In fact, he loves you so very much that he cannot love you anymore than he does right now. He loves you so much that there is nothing you can do that will cause him to love you anymore.”
