Personal Power

The topic today is "power", personal power. Power enables you to act, to maintain your integrity and honest, and to enforce your standards. You might be asking "What is the source of my power?" "Is it derived from within or from without?" Power is not something you use to control others except to limit their crossing your boundaries. It is not something you use, although you can, to get people to do what you want. It is, in main, the ability to stay in control of your self. It serves to give you confidence and self-assurance, as well as enabling you to do what it is that you want. For the Christian, the source of power is Christ, resulting in self-discipline and performance.

Power also can be in several forms, but what we are discussing here is personal power. It is the ability to influence, impact but not demean others. It is the ability to be fully human and fully humble, without loss of self-appreciation.

As you can see, this could go on, but you think about it and about how you are empowered.
