Be A Peacemaker

Years ago Joel and I were at an event when a man whom we didn't know began a conversation with us. He was very passionate about an idea that he was trying to persuade Joel to believe as well, and the longer he talked the more intense he got. Joel mostly smiled and occasionally nodded his head. After the man was finished and walked away, I said, "Joel, I know that you don't believe what he was saying. Why didn't you tell him what you think about it?" Joel looked at me and said, "Victoria, I wasn't put on this earth to straighten everybody out. I would rather hold my peace than prove him wrong."

IMAGINE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE

Dear Solomon,

Your imagination is a wonderful gift that God’s given you!

With it, you can envision opportunities and new beginnings long before they become a reality in your life. When you apply your faith this way, your imagination isn’t about “day dreams” — it’s a tool that helps you deepen your relationship with God.

And when you pursue God and worship Him through your imagination, you plant seeds of hope for the dreams you carry in your heart. Each time you throw aside doubts, or fears about getting your hopes up, you set into motion an awesome, supernatural process.

I know how difficult this can be. It’s risky to imagine God doing the incredible or the impossible. If we never dream, we don’t have to worry about being disappointed.
