Money doesn’t buy happiness. You only get fulfillment through service to others, to those who can never do anything to repay you…

I Care
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…
Dangerous Prayer
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…
Expiration Date
Let’s face it, all of us have a limited amount of time on earth. We don’t have the luxury of knowing how long, but it’s up to us to make the most of our time.
Live fully. Every day. Stay focused on the far horizon and don’t allow anyone to discourage you from realizing your dreams…
Romance
Romance is fun and exciting, isn’t it? But it’s torture during those periods of pain. The reason there’s pain is because you care.
Relationships aren’t always happy and free of care. They can be messy. Other people can bring out the best in us, and sometimes the worst. Selfish behavior on our part makes us unreasonable and hard-headed. So how do we make certain we are being loving and kind, even when we don’t feel like it?
Let’s consider the words of The Apostle Paul when he wrote, “Love is patient and kind. It does not envy, does not boast, and it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
The word of God has power. Revere it, believe it and practice it…
Hold On
Years ago I decided to eliminate all of the one-sided relationships in my life. You know what I’m talking about, the people you find yourself reaching out to but they never reciprocate. I faced a long period of loneliness after doing this. It was awful.
Around the same time, I faced a stressful financial hardship. Compounded with my loneliness, my world was dark. But I never gave up hope. I realized that since I had put myself in this situation, I could work my way through it. I put my head down and went to work.
If you are in a similar situation in your life, I encourage you to hold on. Better days are coming. We don’t have the luxury of knowing when they will appear, we just know they will. Stay hopeful…
Who Are You Listening To?
We talk to ourselves constantly. When we are feeling good about our lives, we encourage ourselves. Have a run of bad luck and the opposite is true.
But which voice are we listening to? My parents told me I would never amount to anything, that I “wasn’t worth a damn.” For a period of my life, I validated their belief. Until I no longer accepted what they said as true.
Sometimes the voices of doubt and insecurity return, but I don’t have to believe them. Neither do you…

Gods
There is only one God. We, as human beings can make status and “stuff” our gods, but they aren’t sustaining.
I have seen people who make fear their god. The God of light doesn’t invoke fear in us. Those fears comes from darkness.
I encourage you to reject darkness and come into the light. Leave your fears behind and live a more fulfilling life…
Narcissists
Have you ever been in a relationship with a narcissist? Narcissist destroy whoever gets in their way.
Narcissists break you down so they can rebuild you into what they want: someone they can control.
By doing this, the narcissist forces us to find our inner strength. We rebuild ourselves and become a stronger version of ourself. We develop into who we are, not who others want us to be.
If you are in a relationship with a narcissist, I encourage you to find your strength. Find your voice…
