“The Authority You Never Claimed ¡Text Hug!: 27 Imagine a huge closet called Lost & Found. Inside is a collection of unclaimed authority and power. Any of it belong to you? What if some of what we’re waiting for has already been ours—just unclaimed? Not taken. Not denied. Simply left behind. Authority, in this sense, is not about control over others, but ownership of self—our choices, our voice, and our willingness to act. The question is not whether it exists. The question is whether we recognize it.”

“Our shepherd intends that we experience his love every day, by living a life that is FREE FROM FEAR … There is not a single day in your future when God will not be seeking you out to give you goodness, to give you love, even in those times, when you walk through the darkest valley. David doesn’t say that there won’t be pain; he doesn’t say that there won’t be trouble and distress, but he DOES say that there will always be goodness, there will always be love, there will always be kindness, hot on your heels.”

“I should explain that Germanicus's way was always to refuse to think evil of any person until positive proof of such evil should be forced on him and, on the contrary, to credit everyone with the highest motives. This extreme simplicity was generally of service to him. Most people with whom he came in contact were flattered by his high estimate of his moral character and tended in their dealings with him to live up to it. If he were ever to find himself at the mercy of a downright wicked character, this generosity of heart would of course be his undoing; but on the other hand if any man had any good in him Germanicus always seemed to being it out.”
