Sometimes you have to trade good standing with people to remain in right standing with God. A litmus test of whose disciple you really are.
FLATTERY IS THE WEAK IMPOSTOR OF ENCOURAGEMENT
Run from flattery; and embrace encouragement.
The only agenda encouragement should have is to BUILD UP.

James 1: 2 - 4.
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN YOU ARE GOING THROUGH.
The key to joy and happiness is not your circumstances, it’s where you put your hope.
Life doesn’t have to be perfect for you to be happy. True joy and happiness exist despite your circumstances. True joy and happiness are found in having hope and faith in God who will not fail us. True joy and happiness come from trusting in God who is sovereign, and good ALL the time!
I laughed pretty hard at this.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Generally speaking…….
I think a lot of young christians don’t struggle to know the prompting and leading of the Holy Spirit, they just choose not to act upon that prompting or follow His leading.
Can i encourage you to heed the prompting and leading of the Holy Spirit in your life.
Have the guts to do what the Holy Spirit is saying and go where he is leading.
Gods LOVE is not something you ACHIVE, it is something you RECEIVE.

I take enormous comfort in the scripture I just posted.
I also am extremely challenged by this scripture, it challenges the authenticity of my faith in a God who is all powerful all knowing, and that life as I know it exists by his power and is intended for his glory.
Trusting God involves trusting with your whole life, so easy to say quite the challenge to live out.
For who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice? And who has given him so much that he needs to pay us back?
For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.
—Rom 11: 34 - 36.
My favorite kind of leaders are the ones who are quietly but passionately working on the log in their own eye, and not picking out the specs in everyone else’s.
