Lifted by Example

,
Ministering in the everyday ordinary opportunities that we find ourselves in reveals the very character that we will exhibit in our extraordinary opportunities.

Lifted by Pouring Out

,
If you are always keeping blessings to yourself and never learning to pour out anything "to the Lord," other people will never have their vision of God expanded through you.

Lifted by True Peace

,
There are times in our lives when our peace is based simply on our own ignorance -- we are peaceful because we choose to be blind to the realities set before us. But when we are awakened to the realities in front of us, we must realize that true peace is impossible unless it is received from Jesus.

Lifted by Our Discomfort

,
Discomfort is one of many challenges believers will face during the course of their lives. It is unavoidable and inevitable. How we view our discomfort, and how we choose to frame it, however, is what ultimately determines how that discomfort affects us.

Lifted by Trust

,
There is no better way to live our lives than to trust in God. When we do that, we will feel the peace that comes only from him.

Lifted by Criticism

,
Very few people have the guts to criticize us when we are winning and on the top of our game, but they do not hesitate to kick us when we’re down.

Lifted by Initiative

,
To take the initiative to create good habits is to make a beginning -- to instruct yourself in the way you must go.

Lifted by Uncertainty

,
When we are uncertain we tend to be sad or disappointed (with God), but uncertainty should be an expression of child-like anticipation not adult-like pessimism.

Lifted by Your Preparation

,
Much like the proof of our hard, offseason training shows through our in-season performances, the proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.

Lifted by Joy

,
You are victorious, you are a conqueror - because no matter what you are facing God loves you unconditionally and your circumstances can't separate you from that love. This is true joy.

Lifted by Our Learning

,
It is okay to have to learn. There is no shame in not knowing, only in not trying to know.

Lifted by Missed Opportunity

,
When we realize that we have not taken advantage of a magnificent opportunity, we are likely to sink to our feelings of regret and despair. But Jesus comes and lovingly says to us, in essence, Move on now.

Lifted by the Simple Things

,
When the world gets complicated and you feel overwhelmed and depressed, find God in the simple things.

Lifted by Yesterday

,
When I think of my past I tend to only dwell on the negative yesterdays. Do your yesterdays make you anxious or do they lift you to do something better?

Lifted by Our Patience

,
By being patient, and preparing ourselves for our appointed time, we can be sure that we are ready to be lifted when God's time has come.

Lifted by Humility

,
When we learn how to serve and love others, and give the attention to the Lord, He will lift us to levels that we never expected.
