Conquer Yourself
(Mark 11:23)  "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them."

We must get out of our own way sometimes to keep from missing out on what can be good for us. There is an internal battle of the will that we go head-to-head with throughout life. We confine our perspectives to what we see and what we can do - which is limited. However, God helps us realize that we just aren't as smart as we assume ourselves to be. How do we conquer ourselves? We conquer ourselves when we decide to let God have His way in us...daily. Sometimes this can be quite uncomfortable, but it is worth it! There is far more greatness within each of us than our current selves have yet tapped into. Don't you want to know what more there is that makes you - you? Conquer yourself daily in the Presence and guidance of God, and you will discover more and more of who you truly are!
