How we live our lives privately eventually comes out publicly.

Never Despair!   Be a channel of helpfulness for others.
Have more sympathy.
Feel more tenderness towards others.
Your lives shall not be all care.
My strength has conquered depression, sorrow and death. -God Calling

We are works in progress.
Quit over reacting to your short comings.
Let's give a new definition to emotional well being -
progress, movement, not perfection should be our goal.
Refuse the guilt for being less than perfect.
Walk forward with all of the 'less than perfect' humanity.
Grow in the knowledge of our Lord.   2 Peter 3:18

"To honor our self is to be in love with our own life,
in love with our possibilities for growth and for experiencing joy,
in love with the process of discovery and exploring our distinctively human potentialities"
All made possible as we come to know who we are in God.
Movement doesn't change us,
soul engagement does.
Either we humble ourselves,
admit our daily need for more of His life and influence within us and we are beautifully changed in the process.
Everything we do is in response to the life giving power of God mightily at work within us.

What we do in secret from day to day seems of little consequence,
but in due time,
those small hidden choices either reveal a life of discipline or laziness.

How we live our lives privately eventually comes out publicly.
Either we grow in our faith and become more intimate with God,
or we fall away from Him.

"My eyes are not focused on the storm, 
but on the living God,
who controls every circumstance of my life."
Proverbs 9:10  

By knowing You, we will begin to understand You.

Private prayer times mark our lives with true power.
To know the Lord is to walk intimately with Him.
His power energizes us to do the things He has appointed us to do.
We more clearly see what in our schedule is an unaccounted, unannointed work
and we seek to align our life with God's best purposes for us.
When we are intentionally engaged with God, we are more fully engaged in the work He has
assigned to us.
