COT:

“He who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior.” — Confucius
 
Too often we focus on successes others can see or congratulate us on, when the mastery of ones self if the true test of success.  It entails gaining control over one’s impulses, emotions, and desires. It means facing inner demons, doubts, and fears with unwavering resolve. It is the commitment to personal growth, self-discipline, and the pursuit of a higher self.
 
If that sounds scary and hard, that’s because it is both. But if done leads to a state of inner peace, wisdom, and resilience.
It is very easy to give in to your sense of worth being based on what others think or can see. Only you will know your true standing in life.

If you are lying to yourself you will know that before anyone else even has a clue.

COT:
Today’s Encouragement…

Thank you guys for being here. It really matters that you made the choice to get up, show up and be here at this place and time. If you didn’t do that, there would be zero connection. And I think that connection is the whole point to our existence. It’s why we were created. To have relationship.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” – Jesus teaching us something about being connected to him, from John 15:5

I’ve become more aware of this throughout my life. Much of life’s struggle and pain is magnified when I’m isolated.

I find that there is healing when I stay connected to God, through his word and truth about who I am. Through prayer and bringing myself to him. All my thoughts, my joys, my fears.

With others, in community. When we share, listen, and offer support, we can help carry one another’s burdens.

And when we do that, we can better connect our minds and bodies. We can have all the right information, know the rights and wrongs and the goods and bads, but until we learn to process and connect with what’s happened in our bodies, we are going to find ourselves stuck in those cycles and continue to open those old wounds.

I want to leave you with this too; there is not a sin you can commit or have committed in your past present or future that hasn’t already been covered by the blood and sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 3rd F tomorrow info in channel, flag pass at F3 RoCo, check Slack channels for details

COT: How do you handle disappointment? Who do you talk to about what’s going on your life? Vulnerability especially to our wives is not an inconvenience to be avoided but the path to growing in mental/emotional health, relationships (especially marriage), and faith. “When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬-‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬
