Be strong in the Lord and his power. God is gracious and merciful. He will see you through.

We can’t wait for our conflicts to end so we can move forward in our lives. We have to manage the conflict, while moving through them.

You can’t be a conqueror without having conflicts. It’s where you grow the strongest.

Be strong in your conflicts.

Do good to others, give thanks to God, and trust in Him.

Speak the truth to one another.

The lies we speak are only damaging to ourselves.

Are you an example of being a follower of Jesus Christ? Do people see Christ in you by what you speak, what you do, what you give, and in your faith?

Be an example!

Be wise. Ask. He will reveal it to you. If you don’t ask, you don’t know.

Are you under the law, or under grace?

The law is made to be followed by those who choose not to do the will of God. To those who want to do their own thing, their own way.

Either you are walking under the law, doing the will of man, or you are walking in the Spirit, doing the will of God.

Pay it forward, and give grace to those who have wronged you. It is your gift to them.

Ephesians 4:7 (KJV) – but unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
