None of us measure up.  In fact, Romans 3:23 says we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.  Yet, we can push ourselves to reach impossible expectations when we don’t see ourselves through the eyes of Christ. 

Perfectionism is a seed planted by the enemy to make us look solely at what WE are doing in our own power - while constantly whispering that we are not enough.

Note the specific point, in our own power.  What’s r...

Today I just get really REAL about how much I don’t like the fact that we have “trials of many kinds,” we are to consider pure joy.  James 1:2-4 has always made me nervous growing up, as has many verses that talk about going through trouble.  I thought if I read it or someone talked about it, that meant something bad was going to happen. I couldn’t even TOUCH the pages in the book of JOB.  My identity was in fear not in who God cre...

As always, Charisse is focused on your identity in Christ.  Today she talks about it in terms of how you sell your service or product. 

Many times we make it harder than it needs to be simply because we are believing thoughts that are not true.  

She gives the example of how we tell people about our favorite restaurant.  We never think about the fact that we are really selling it.  We don’t feel bad or question sharing that amazing...
