“Being in love is a good thing, but it is not the best thing. There are many things below it, but there are also things above it. You cannot make it the basis of a whole life. It is a noble feeling, but it is still a feeling.”
— C.S. Lewis

The Christian is no longer tethered to results or recognition. When you remove the umbilical cord of self-validation and plug into the cosmic constancy of God, you’ll taste a reckless freedom and joy in all you do. You quit getting nervous on the other end. A good turn-out is a bonus and not a verdict. Talent is not the ceiling on success. Your past is not a time-stamp of the world’s critical eye. The God-given capacity to serve is its own reward. It isn’t for applause, but out of gratitude. And your excellence is not crafted for praise, but for its very own existence: just as God loves you, simply for existing.
Can you imagine? You wouldn’t care how you look, what you lose, or what you can and can’t do. Such a person is fearless. You’d simply be you.
At the feet of True Greatness, you find a humble strength to become who you always knew you could be.
When you see this, reblog and say a prayer for those who have no one to pray for them.
Satan cannot destroy your soul, but he can demolish your effectiveness. And he does so by building strongholds in your life that influence your thoughts and actions—ultimately enslaving you to sin. Thus he renders you ineffective for the kingdom of God. Don’t fall for his trap. Instead, defeat the enemy by declaring your trust in God. Allow the Lord to identify strongholds and deliver you from them. Remember who you are in Christ. The Lord is greater than any weapon the enemy can bring against you. So commit yourself to God wholeheartedly and let Him defend you.
