Am I the only one who can get distracted from the true purpose of celebrating Christmas? What is this all about anyway and why bother to commemorate it?
Are you apt to play it safe? Has life taught you to be more cautious than adventurous? If we believe that our Heavenly Father cares for us, we can adventurously follow His will and enjoy our lives without fear of the bumps and bruises that will come along the way. Will trouble come? Yes! But take heart, Jesus has overcome and will hold and heal you throughout the hurts that come! Have an eventful life!
Life a mess? I get it. I’ve had some very ugly times in my life. But I’m praying that this little word of encouragement can give you the strength to go on trusting the Lord even in the messy times.
The holidays are upon us! And here are FOUR things I’m wanting you to remember. (Also, get my Rejection Resources at amiloper.com under the RESOURCES tab !)

Rest. It is not an option. And it is NOT a reward for getting all your work done. It is the wise way to live that God instructed us in so that we can actually be MORE productive and healthy in every aspect of our lives.
Waiting. I don’t like it. In our modern world, we rarely need to exercise our waiting ability, but God hasn’t changed. He still does things on His wise timetable. What can we look to that will give us hope for the changes we are waiting on?
The very nature of God is to redeem. When we place our difficulties in His hands, redemption is what will naturally come about! What are you placing in His hands today?
Times of unbelief come to all. It is often the place where genuine beliefs are birthed! So how do we deal with these times of unbelief so that we grow stronger and more fortified in our faith?
I am grateful for the people God has placed in my life. But they are neither infallible nor omnipresent! There will be times when everyone is unavailable or when you feel that no one meets your needs. These times remind us that there is only One we should fully lean on. He will provide all the support we need when we choose Him first.
Fears. They can simply be the natural reaction to valid needs for concern, or they can torment our minds. Regardless, we can fight back spiritually! Get my FREE RESOURCE for fighting against fear at amiloper.com under the RESOURCES tab!
Are you seeking blessings that would make it so that you no longer need to be dependent on God? I’m not sure that’s the best way to grow stronger. Listen in as I explain.
This world is FULL of the clamor of many voices. There are good things to listen to, but when we hear something that doesn’t line up with the truth of God’s Word, what is our responsibility?
Success is a big deal in our culture. If you’re not feeling “successful” today, please let me challenge you that you simply may not be looking broad enough. Zoom out from your view of your life. More may be happening than you realize!
