(about Gideon's army)Like the pitchers that held the torches, our bodies are weak and fragile, yet they hold the fire of the Holy Spirit. That fire burns in us waiting to be released so that others can see it. The light was released when the pitchers were broken. Sometimes we need to be broken to release the light in us. Our weakness allows the light of God to be seen.

Being content to walk with God brings peace in the midst of uncertainty. It brings wisdom in the unknown. It brings contentment in any situation and grace in every circumstance. Furthermore, it brings mercy and forgiveness in sin and blessed assurance in condemnation. Furthermore, it brings freedom from captivity. Walking with God brings light and air into the pit, as God reaches down to rescue us when we fall.

God is our hope and strength. And hope never disappoints. (Romans 5:5). We can place our confidence in Him without fear.

God needs loving, accepting, and compassionate people—not accepting of sin, but accepting God’s forgiveness of sin for all who repent.

(God) will always grant us wisdom when we ask. And when we seek Him and obey Him, He works all things out for our good.

I am so thankful for God’s mercy, grace, and patience for all the times I fell into sin. I am so grateful that He never stopped chasing me no matter how far I fell.

— Teresa Schultz

I need to accept God’s love and forgiveness, turning away from my sin and toward Him starting every day anew just as His mercies are new every morning.

— Teresa Schultz

I shouldn’t complain about God’s mercy to others while thanking Him for His mercy to me. I shouldn’t commit the sin of pride by justifying my rebellion or my running from God compared to other people’s sin. Who am I to be angry at what the angels in Heaven rejoice in?

Jesus came to bring life more abundantly. He came to save the soul sick, to deliver those bound up in sin, to break the chains of bondage and addiction. He came to heal the hurting, and comfort and restore the used, abused, bruised, battered, and broken. Furthermore, he came to forgive the worst sinner and to bring life to the lifeless. Furthermore, he came to reconcile us with God so we can have relationship with our Father.

— Teresa Schultz

... we can know with confidence that God sees us. He hears us. He knows us and feels our pain. Furthermore, he loves us and He acts on our behalf.
