All of us can be lazy. Weekends are nice because our work responsibilities have left us for a couple of days. But being lazy all the time is not good.
We have a burning desire inside of us to accomplish our greater purpose. We must find that purpose and not look back. When we find what really turns us on, weekends won’t matter anymore because we will continue working right through them.
We are on the road to our destiny…
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…
Be yourself. Always. Live your life with humility, wonder and awe. Fake people are a disappointment no matter how hard they try to impress others.
Show the world who you are, who you really are…

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…
What occupies your time and energy? Whatever you are focusing on will answer this simple question. We make room in our lives for the things we value.
Another question to consider is whether the people you allow into your life are edifying and enriching to your life. Sometimes we must eliminate distractions to make room for who and what matters most.
It’s decision time…
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…
Universally we crave acceptance. We want to be loved and accepted for who we are. Yet, people will change themselves to try to “fit in” with the crowd they are in.
There is great freedom in knowing yourself, faults and all, and accepting yourself. This doesn’t mean you stop working on improving yourself. That’s a process that will not stop until you die.
Fitting in might work temporarily, but you will eventually be discovered. You will feel better if you remain true to yourself, and are not concerned with whether the crowd accepts you or not. Focus on making yourself acceptable to God. After all, Gods opinion is the only one that matters…
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…”
When you hear someone described as “spirited,” what type of person comes to mind? Perhaps lively, engaging, emotional or energetic are appropriate descriptions.
All of those adjectives can apply to describe a spirited person. But let’s examine this a little more.
When we are making an observation or even a joke, the spirit of our words is the most important aspect of what we say. If our joke is mean-spirited, then it’s in poor taste. The same goes for conversation.
Pay attention to the spirit of your words and actions. They come from within and reveal what is in your heart…
