God's sweetest blessings come to those who can discipline themselves to wait.  It's amazing how quickly we will trust in our own wisdom instead of waiting for the Lord's plan and provision.  Running ahead of the Creator's timetable is a sure way to bring difficulty, while trusting the Father brings His very best.

The marvel of the Christian life is that good works don't work--God does it all.  Just as you were saved by the Father's grace, you must also live by His grace. The same faith that saved you is absolutely essential to your spiritual growth.  Gain new perspective on how the Holy Spirit lives through you.

The same Spirit that energized the disciples can empower you to lead a passionate and fruitful life.  Have you struggled in your spiritual walk or noticed a lack of purpose and joy?  When you depend upon the Holy Spirit's power instead of our own, you'll be able to accomplish the work God has given you.
