Dream Again?
Can it be true? That it is possible to dream again?

Anger
"Anger...is often the direct result of a goal being blocked. If we believe that in order to feel good about ourselves we must achieve a certain goal, and something blocks that goal, the usual response to the blocking of our goal is anger.
What happens when a goal is blocked is that first we feel hurt, but as hurt is not an easy feeling to live with, we overlay it with anger.
We can feel powerful when we feel angry, and that is probably the reason why we prefer to allow anger to arise within us than to deal with the hurt.
Resolve to establish in your life godly goals, for those goals can never be blocked."

1 John 1:5-10
"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.
If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us."

False Guilt
"False guilt arises when we lose face as a result of our own failures. We then blame ourselves because the pain of our failure punishes us for the dent in our own prideful self-image.
Often what topples from its perch is not our true self but the idol we have set up modelled on what we imagine ourselves to be. When the false self-image falls, false guilt ensues.
Again, we can feel false guilt because of the expectations and obligations that are unfairly laid on us by others."

Romans 14:8 NKJV
"For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s."

Less Of A Person
"To refuse to believe God, or even acknowledge His existence, may be an easy balm for a troubled conscience, but when we eliminate God we diminish ourselves...
...Slowly a mechanistic view of human nature takes over...
...When we do away with God and answer only to ourselves, we are dehumanised in the process. We become less of a person."

James 2:10
"For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it."
here i am
Praise the LORD.
Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power;
praise him for his surpassing greatness.
Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,
praise him with the harp and lyre,
praise him with tambourine and dancing,
praise him with the strings and flute,
praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.
(Psa 150:1-6)
this is me
Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Gal 2:20 MSG)
