Believe in yourself. God created you for a greater purpose. He hasn’t forgotten you or abandoned you.
The world will knock you down. Get back up and get knocked down again. Keep getting up as long as it takes. Find your inner strength to accomplish your destiny. The world cannot defeat you because you have the Creator of the universe on your side.
Don’t go to your grave with your song still in you. The world needs to hear from you…
Everyone wants to be seen and heard. All of us are equally important in the eyes of the Creator.
When you meet someone new, or when you are engaged in conversation with someone you know, see through to the heart of the person, not just what you see on the outside. Allow them to know they are valued…
There are no coincidences. Everything has a purpose and meaning behind it. We don’t have the luxury of knowing all that is going on. We simply have to trust in something greater than ourselves…
Creativity takes courage. Ash Almonte is a successful artist in an industry that has a 90% failure rate. She has found the path to turn pain from her past into beautiful works of art. She is the founder of Hopefully Sow, a charity that benefits the “least among us,” foster children. Listen to how she got involved in caring for these children, and her story of building a career she says she’s quit over 300 times!
We Christians should show we are people of faith by our actions, not just our words. Words without actions are hollow. Set the example for others and don’t make it about yourself.
There is much good that God provides beyond what is visible. I can take things for granted. I don’t have any way of knowing how many things God has protected me from. But I know He has.
Be bold in practicing your faith. In fact, be audacious…
Eternal means something with no end but also no beginning. How does that happen?
We know God is eternal. Our home in eternity will have no end to it. This is hard to get my head around, but I don’t have to understand it to believe it. Just like gravity. I cannot explain it, yet I know better than to jump off a building because it wouldn’t end well!
We know there is more than what we see. The spiritual realm is real. Let’s work on focusing on what we can’t see beyond what we can see. It’s got eternal consequences…
If you ever start feeling sorry for yourself, take a moment to reflect on all the good in your life. It’s there but you might overlook it because you are focused inward.
Think about others and what their needs might be. Place emphasis on meeting those needs if you are able. By doing for others your spirits will be lifted in ways I cannot describe. Soon your pity party will turn into a real party. Your moment of sorrow will be eliminated.
Our time here is limited. Leave your mark and create your legacy…
Yesterday I went to check on a good friend because I hadn’t heard from him. I let myself in to his house and he wasn’t on the sofa. I felt encouraged because that was his normal resting place. I walked into his kitchen and found him dead on the floor.
God knows how many days we have on this planet. We don’t have that luxury. But we are inspired to make the most of the time we are here. I don’t always do that, but I keep trying.
My friend had a history of bad health which he was working to improve on. I’m at peace with his passing away. He did live a good life, and was a blessing to many. He will be missed, and he will be remembered.
Live fully, everyone. Don’t waste the dawn…
We all know someone who thinks they know it all. When challenged, they become rude and condescending. These types of people are a real turn off.
Humility is an often underused quality. Our culture rarely honors the humble. But humble men and women are a treasure. They understand that they don’t know everything and are willing to listen and learn.
I encourage you to check your ego. Don’t allow pride to get in the way of opening your mind and heart to new possibilities. There is much to be learned…
Nowadays I see a lot of people who label themselves as “empaths.” They believe they feel what others are feeling, no matter the circumstances.
All of us have intuition. It’s a gift from the Creator. Our intuition protects us from bad people and dangerous situations. We feel alerted in the moment.
Empathy is shared experience. Who better understands what it’s like to be married to an alcoholic than another person who is, too? The only people who know how it feels to lose a child are people who have lost a child.
The pain and struggle you have experienced in life can be used to help others. In this way, pain is a gift, too. Don’t waste it…
