Again, this is from a previous blog I had. I almost forgot that I wrote this post, and yet it speaks to me a lot during this time in my life. Unless quoted otherwise, these are all quotes from Kris Vallotton.
Trials don't test your character, they test your faith.
When we trust ourselves, we're only at peace when we are in charge, but when we trust God, we are at peace all the time.
-John Paul Jackson
You can tell the size of a man by the size of the problem that it takes to discourage him.
All negative emotions evolve out of fear.
All positive emotions evolve out of faith.
What really causes fear is not what happens to us, but the stories that we make up that happens to us.
What steals our peace isn't what happens to us, but the stories that we make up that we believe that happen to us.
Don't believe all your thoughts, not all your thoughts are from you.
Faith is the assurance of things hope for, the convictions of things not yet seen.
Fear is the assurance of things you haven't hope for, the convictions of things you haven't seen.
Fear is faith in the wrong world.
