All of us have “stuff” we need to work through. Trauma from the past or pain from the present, when left unresolved, don’t just magically disappear. We can even try to hide it by making ourselves look good from the outside. That doesn’t work.
We must work on ourselves from the inside. Get to the heart of the problem. Self-work sucks when you’re doing it, no doubt. If it was easy, everyone would do the work. But the life and peace that await you make it so worthwhile…
Everyone has a voice, and they want to be heard. Many people are afraid to speak up. Fear of judgment, rejection or simply believing they aren’t important enough to be listened to stops them from speaking.
People who are afraid need a voice. I ask God every day to let me be a voice for the voiceless. You be one, too…
Albert Einstein once wrote, “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”
Plenty of people stand ready to throw cold water on your dreams. It’s your life. You can choose to listen to the naysayers or to your inner voice, the voice that encourages you to pursue your destiny. Expect opposition, but don’t give in.
How do you envision your future? Are you looking through a lens of optimism or fear?
Fear limits you. It prevents you from taking chances and fulfilling your dreams. Faith breeds self-confidence. As your confidence grows, the challenges you face will be met with the knowledge you will overcome them. And thrive…
Nowadays, if you’re trending you are a hot item. Here’s where I would like to see “trending:” Decency, compassion, thoughtfulness, kindness and encouragement. Will you join me and start a trend?
Surrender is a word we do not like to consider. We like to believe we are in control.
Proverbs 16:9 tells us, “In their hearts, humans plan their course, but the Lord directs their steps.” God will have His way, no matter what we want. And He’s on our side, not out to get us. Trust Him.
We are naturally rebellious. When we align ourselves with the Spirit, and surrender our will, we find meaning and fulfillment…
Everyone is seeking, searching for two things: our identity and our purpose. In other words, “who am I and why am I here? We are trying to fill what 17th century French philosopher Blaise Pascal referred to as a “God-shaped vacuum.”
Ask yourself, what am I good at? What causes my heart to overflow in richness and fulfillment? This is a key to finding your purpose. Once you have found your true purpose, you know who you are…
We must asked ourselves this question: Am I going in the direction of where I want my life to turn out? We do have a choice to change directions if the answer is no. Change might cause some discomfort, yet traveling down an unknown road is exciting. Be brave. Take the step…
There are people in the world who feel like they don’t matter. The pandemic ravaged mental health, and every day there are people who don’t know where their next meal is coming from.
Everyone matters to God. He didn’t create us to forget about us. If your fellow man is hurting, help him and help him help himself. Speak up for the marginalized, the voiceless. Doing what’s right is rarely easy, and sometimes you have to stand alone. Stand up and be heard…
People are guarded. They are afraid to show who they truly are because of the fear of judgment. We are created in the image of God. He doesn’t make mistakes, nor does he second guess himself.
People will judge you no matter what. However, they have no authority over your life. Authority belongs to God alone, and He sees who we truly are. Live your life to please Him, not the world…
