Philippians 4:13
“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
You never give up or take a victim mentality in life. When you hit a wall, stumble upon an obstacle, or find yourself at rock bottom, you move forward and piece together a solution brick by brick. The reason for your fortitude and strength in the face of adversity is due to your unwavering faith in the Lord and the belief that as long as you have Him in your heart, nothing can destroy you. You face each day with radiance and optimism because you fully trust in God’s plan and know that He will guide you through any struggles put in your way.
Psalm 23:1
“The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”
Your gratitude and generosity know no bounds. You operate from a total place of selflessness, and you do so because you know that the Lord will sustain you, guide you, and nourish you throughout today and the years to come. If asked whether the glass is half full or half empty, you will always say half full because you truly feel that every day is a blessing. With God in your heart, leading your sacred path, you truly lack nothing and gain everything.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
You walk through the world with your heart on your sleeve, doling out as much love as you can possibly give to those around you. While some think this trait leads to vulnerability, it actually showcases incredible strength. Because you are intuitively tapped into your emotions and ability to care for others, you build meaningful relationships more easily and leave behind those who are not serving you. With God as your number one love and guiding protector, you aim to build a community that supports you, returns your love, and challenges you to be the best version of yourself. While you can sometimes be sappy and are most definitely a hopeless romantic, you are never afraid to tell someone that they matter, and that’s an invaluable skill in a world growing colder by the minute.
2 Timothy 1:7
“For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”
You are a feisty, confident disciple who never fears speaking their mind. You have faith that God put you on this planet to spread His word and lead people to everlasting life– so why would you clam up? You make friends easily, share your beliefs with light and joy, and never back down in controversy. You trust that with God as your guide, He will lead you truthfully always, and that’s all the confidence someone needs to speak up.
Psalm 119:105
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
You are a bit of a lost soul at times, following your wanderlusting heart and curious mind. Occasionally, you struggle to recognize your next step in life because you’re fiercely passionate about so many different paths, people, and places. However, because of this, you are a disciple who is firmly grounded and anchored in the word of God. Whenever you’re feeling wayward or confused, you turn to the Lord for answers and fully trust that He will open the right doors for you along the way. There might be twists and turns on your path that take you by surprise, but you know that these adventures fuel God’s mission for you in this lifetime as long as you continue to listen in on where He wants you to go.
Hebrews 13:8
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
You are someone with a beautiful, imaginative mind that sometimes gets carried down a dimly lit rabbit hole of overthinking. Because you’re an innovator, an imaginer, a thinker at heart, you get wrapped up in the anxiety of the future and lost in the pain of the past quite often. However, because of your tendency to let your mind wander, you routinely rely on Christ to tether you back into your life, earth, and body. No matter what circumstances led to today or where our lives will go tomorrow, Christ is here; He is present and past and future; he is everlasting sustenance and comfort and nourishment.
James 1:19
“My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,”
You are a leader. Someone who looks at the chaos in this world and finds tangible ways to make peace within it for yourself and those around you. You are often sought out to give advice or be a listening ear because you offer a calm, patient presence that is so rare in our modern, noisy society. Your patience and tranquility stem from God’s radiant energy that you routinely remind yourself of and nourish yourself with. You trust that if we could all slow down more often, count the blessings God rewards us with (big or small), and rely on Him to bring stability in times of uncertainty, we would all be in a better place.
