when in the deepest moment of pain, you let go
when amidst the fast paced world, you be still
when at the height of happiness, you give thanks
when you have no more strength left, you go on
when there is no one looking, you do good
when amidst lies, violence, and darkness, you love
when faced with death, you see life everlasting
when given the choice of anything and everything in the world...
you choose the Truth

"I'm Just Out to Find...the Better Part of Me..."
“I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.” John 12:24 (NIV)
There's nothing more difficult than running a race you know you have trained for but realize can't finish well.
Excerpted from The Purpose Driven Life Daily Devotional
When you think about your walk with Jesus, some days you may wonder, “Why is this so hard? I’m still struggling with so many problems. When will I finally get it right?”
Try these steps for spiritual growth:
* Nurture growth with God’s Word – I know you’re already doing this, but when you read the promises of God, again and again, it helps you remember that He is at work, even when you can’t see Him at work: “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1 NIV).
* Cooperate with God as He prunes – Praise God for the work he’s doing in your life, remembering “he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more” (John 15:2 NLT).
* Pray through the “fruit list” – Pray through the “fruit list” (the fruit of the Spirit) from Galatians 5:22-23. The NIV Bible lists the fruit as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Ask God to help you grow this fruit in your life.
