Jabez came to a point in his life where he chose to make a break from his past identity to change his future. He was not a total failure, nor a total success.

Pain can be instructive to learning as well as corrective to undesirable behavior, but it also confiscates honor from the core of our identity that is essential for living a purposeful destiny. When our dreams encounter pain, unbelief mocks us, our future, and our faith.

INTRODUCTION Losing a loved one is arguably one of the most difficult and distressing experiences that any of us will ever experience in our lifetime. Yet in our everyday life we talk about death very little, perhaps because we do not experience it very often compared to our ancestors where the life expectancy was lower and where death was a more common occurrence. For us, due to advances in medicine, these losses typically occur much later in life so we have no “framework” to fall back on and feel lost as to how we should react. In spite of the lack of life experience, we have to one ...

I have overcome the world” (NIV). In Blessed in the Mess, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances.
