Initiative is the desire to do something before anyone else does. If you have initiative you are taking the lead.
Look around. What needs to change, whether it’s something in society or someone in your life? There are multiple challenges that we need to engage with and move the bar forward.
Nothing changes until we take the initiative. Do something today…
God’s power operates in the supernatural. We have access to His power to accomplish the impossible when we are operating within God’s will. He will make things happen through us that should not happen in the natural world. Only then will people believe.
Are you operating in the natural or the supernatural? It’s something to consider…
Are you aware that the day you were born was determined by God before the earth was formed? It’s true! He planned you a long time ago.
Along with the date, time and era of our birth, God had a purpose in mind for your life. You are part of a grand scheme. His plans for your life are much bigger than we can imagine. Trust that God knows what He is doing.
Because He does. We might get surprised in life, but God is never surprised…

People struggle with forgiveness. They allow past hurts to fester and grow, almost taking a life of their own. But forgiveness is vital to the human spirit. Otherwise bitterness and resentment set in. Those will shorten your life, or at least they can prevent you from living fully.
If you are struggling with forgiveness, I encourage you to actively practice gratitude. You will begin to see things through a new lens. And you might find forgiveness in your heart…
When things go wrong, or even when things go right, aren’t we looking for someone to blame? Things go wrong and we blame others or circumstances. Things go right and we are ready to glorify ourselves.
The truth is, the way our lives turn out begins with us. We must accept responsibility for the decisions we make. We are the only ones who get to make decisions for ourselves.
Accepting responsibility is a giant step forward. Keep growing…
Through the myriad of challenges life throws at us, one thing remains: hope. Hope keeps us going when everything else is falling apart. Hope is the calm in the storm we are searching for. Hope gives us light when everything is dark. We remain hopeful even when our situation remains uncertain.
Have you lost hope in your life? If so, turn your focus to God’s power and promises. He is faithful to us even when we doubt Him.
Remember this: God did not create us and then forget about us…
Everyone experiences pain. You can’t escape it on this side of eternity. But what you do with your pain makes all the difference in the world.
Pain will either stifle you, shut you down, or pain can be used as fuel to achieve a higher purpose. It’s your choice always.
Fuel burns white hot. Let your painful experiences be ignited inside. Use your pain for the greater good…
We have become texting machines rather than actually speaking to one another. Texting is fine for a quick check-in, but it’s not the same as having a conversation. Plus there is much that can be misinterpreted in a text, even a simple one.
Communicate with others. Have real conversations. Connecting is key to forming relationships with our fellow man. We are better together, and we are more alike than we are different…
Did you know that God is pursuing us every moment of every day? He wants a relationship with us, not to give us more religion but to mold us into the person He created us to be. We are on God’s mind all the time. Is He on ours?
We are rebellious by nature. No one had to teach us that. We don’t want anyone controlling us and that includes the God of the universe. Yet let’s face one simple truth: God is in control of everything. Every breath we take is a gift from our Creator.
I encourage you to take the difficult road. Surrender your will to the Creator. Learn who He is. He will guide you when you allow Him to.
From the Book of Jeremiah: “You will find me when you seek me with all your heart…”
