People are confused nowadays. They are confused because they believe their worth is tied to their status, money, zip code or position in life. They are gravely mistaken.
Our worth lies in the one who created us. God planned each and every one of us exactly how He wanted us to be. This is the foundation of our worth.
External stuff will die, but our relationship with the Creator is eternal…
You can’t please everyone. Even God can’t do that. People will be disappointed by something.
If you see yourself as a people pleaser, then you might consider working on that. And the best way to solve that is to work on yourself. The desire to please everyone and never say no comes from within.
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do for others and make them happy. Nothing at all. You end up sacrificing yourself without healthy boundaries, though. Take care of yourself so you can show up in life at your best…
Denial is real. People are fearful of judgement so they whitewash the truth to others and to themselves. But there is no escaping the truth.
Face your life and all of its ugliness, but also it’s beauty. Both coexist and both can be improved upon. Work on what troubles you about your life, and work to improve what’s going well.
I encourage you to “get real” with yourself. Start today…
When someone wrongs us we immediately want to get them back. We feel the need to “even the score.”
This is going to happen all your life. People are flawed and broken, and broken people do things to try to break others.
I encourage you to rise above the desire for revenge. God will make things right and just. It’s up to us to trust Him to do it. In the meantime, live life fully. Do what’s right. Speak the truth and steer clear of seeking revenge…
Believe in yourself. God created you for a greater purpose. He hasn’t forgotten you or abandoned you.
The world will knock you down. Get back up and get knocked down again. Keep getting up as long as it takes. Find your inner strength to accomplish your destiny. The world cannot defeat you because you have the Creator of the universe on your side.
Don’t go to your grave with your song still in you. The world needs to hear from you…
Everyone wants to be seen and heard. All of us are equally important in the eyes of the Creator.
When you meet someone new, or when you are engaged in conversation with someone you know, see through to the heart of the person, not just what you see on the outside. Allow them to know they are valued…
There are no coincidences. Everything has a purpose and meaning behind it. We don’t have the luxury of knowing all that is going on. We simply have to trust in something greater than ourselves…
Creativity takes courage. Ash Almonte is a successful artist in an industry that has a 90% failure rate. She has found the path to turn pain from her past into beautiful works of art. She is the founder of Hopefully Sow, a charity that benefits the “least among us,” foster children. Listen to how she got involved in caring for these children, and her story of building a career she says she’s quit over 300 times!
We Christians should show we are people of faith by our actions, not just our words. Words without actions are hollow. Set the example for others and don’t make it about yourself.
There is much good that God provides beyond what is visible. I can take things for granted. I don’t have any way of knowing how many things God has protected me from. But I know He has.
Be bold in practicing your faith. In fact, be audacious…
Eternal means something with no end but also no beginning. How does that happen?
We know God is eternal. Our home in eternity will have no end to it. This is hard to get my head around, but I don’t have to understand it to believe it. Just like gravity. I cannot explain it, yet I know better than to jump off a building because it wouldn’t end well!
We know there is more than what we see. The spiritual realm is real. Let’s work on focusing on what we can’t see beyond what we can see. It’s got eternal consequences…
