Takes a Lickin', Keeps On Tickin' - #2786
If you can hang onto Jesus, if you could be like Jesus in this pain, you'll prove your faith is genuine first to yourself. You will have the deepest confidence in Jesus you've ever had because you've experienced what He can do when no one else can help. You'll also prove your faith is genuine to the people who are watching you, whose own relationship with Jesus may depend on how you weather this beating.

Going Where You Thought You Couldn't - #2816
Maybe there's a burden you're going to have to carry or a challenge or assignment that you have in front of you or some possibilities that are either frightening or exciting, or possibly both. Well, your Lord, who may very well be the One leading you into something you're not sure you can handle, wanted you to be encouraged today with this word from the Word of God. Psalms 18:31 - "For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God?"

The Better Beyond The Bitter - #2813
This night, even this long night, will not last forever. And on the other side a time of joy that is hard for you to imagine right now but which God guarantees. In fact, the beautiful time may actually be produced by the bitter time, as the joy of a new baby is produced by a painful delivery process. But you do have to get through this bitter taste, without abandoning your Lord or His plans.

No Diagnosis, No Relief - #2808
We had no hope of our sin-cancer being cured, but God, the One we have sinned against, sacrificed His one and only Son to pay the death penalty for our sin. The cure involves blood - the blood Jesus poured out when He died to remove the guilt and hell of your sin.

When the Container Lies to You - #5918
Don't fall for those lies on sin's package. Check its real contents, as exposed graphically in the Bible. If you've already opened sin's package, get out while you can. If you're looking at a compromise that God calls sin, run the other way. You haven't got time for the pain, for the scars, for the slavery, for the shame. Do it God's way, even if it's harder, even if it takes longer. Remember, it's the narrow road that leads to life. It's the wide road that leads to destruction

Hard-Earned Credentials - #2636
The pain you've been through may never make much sense until you see Jesus and He shows you the grand design. But until then, offer that pain to Him as credentials, to make a difference for Him to other wounded people. Remember, your wounds are your credentials.

Quake Insurance - #2631
There is a love that is unloseable, unmoveable, unconditional - a relationship that will sustain you when everything else is out of control.

Crawling's Not Enough - #5901
Maybe you've been coasting at the same spiritual speed for a while; you've been content with mediocrity - with crawling. But you're restless. God has made you restless. He has so much more for you.

The Trouble with the Top of the Mountain - #5895
We're restless and we're searching because we're away from the One we were made for, and that is why Jesus came to die on a cross to absorb the eternal death penalty for every sin we've ever done. So to find forgiveness, to find peace, to find the only love that can truly satisfy your heart, you have to climb one more hill. It's that hill where Jesus died for you.

Falling Down, but Not Staying Down - #5879
When you fall down, be as defiant about getting up and walking again as a baby is. When you belong to Jesus, there is no such thing as a knockout. When you belong to Jesus, failure is never final. Listen to God's words, "Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise!"
