Timing is everything. When you need to have a difficult conversation with someone, choosing the right time makes all the difference.
God’s timing is perfect. That said, I don’t always like His timing in the moment, but it turns out the best when I accept it. He really does know best.
If you are in a challenging period of your life, take a minute to thank God for the lessons you are learning. He never punishes us, only disciplines. Discipline means teaching, even when we don’t like it…
All of us have a deeper desire than we are living. We have been imbued by the Creator to live for a greater purpose, to be part of something bigger than ourselves. What stops us from pursuing it?
Faith can be a scary thing. We step into an abyss, not knowing what’s next or where we are going. What might seem scary can also be exhilarating. Our mindset in pursuit of our reason for living sets the tone. Do we have a fear mindset, or one of great faith? We get to choose.
Fear can paralyze you. Faith will energize you. Choose faith and live higher…
Opportunities are everywhere. Keep your eyes, mind and heart open…
Do you ever observe unhealthy patterns in other people and wonder why they won’t change? Why do people stay in abusive relationships, drink to excess or lie?
Here’s some truth which I will express as gently as I can: they have to learn healthy habits for themselves. When people find their voice, their inner strength, they change. They own the change because they did it for themselves.
Until that moment comes, pray for them. Pray hard, and believe God will change them because He can. There is unlimited power in Jesus. Believe it…
Reach out in kindness to those who are different and difficult. They need human connection, too. Try to see life through their eyes.
Stand firm in your convictions that are true, right and noble. Let go of prejudgments. You will grow when you build a bridge…
We set goals and objectives for our lives. We want to feel like we are growing and progressing. But old habits can be hard to break.
Commit to changing one thing that doesn’t get you where you’re trying to go. Stay with it. If you fall backwards, start again. You aren’t defeated until you decide you are.
If nothing changes, nothing changes…
The holidays are difficult for me. When I was a child, year after year brought disappointment during Christmas. It wasn’t because I didn’t get what I wanted. We were a broken family, and all I really wanted was to fix us.
Many people are living with similar pain during this season. Be mindful. Be kind. Your kindness might make all the difference to someone…
Money doesn’t buy happiness. You only get fulfillment through service to others, to those who can never do anything to repay you…
How do you show someone that you care about them? I believe you let them know they are in your thoughts, you listen to them, and you have patience with them even when you feel rushed or tired.
Caring for others is in our DNA. We are hardwired to be in relationship with others. We need people in our lives, the right people.
Take care of the people you love. Show them, don’t just tell them…
Do you want to know the most dangerous prayer you can offer? It’s a simple two words: “Use me.” God answers that one every time! And there’s usually not much waiting time between saying the words and God putting you into action.
Prayer has power. And I want you to remember this: God will not put you in a position to harm you. He will use us to accomplish His work on earth and it will glorify Him.
Live dangerously. Pray the prayer…
