If you will keep being your best right where you are, you will come into more favor, promotion and opportunity than you ever imagined.
When you go through difficult times, make sure you pass the test. Don’t be stubborn and hardheaded. Recognize that God is refining you, knocking off some of your rough edges. Stand strong and fight the good fight of faith. God has called each of us to be champions; you are destined to win. If you will work with God and keep a good attitude, then no matter what comes against you, the bible says that all things – not just the good things in life, but all things – work together for your good.
I guess no matter how hard you try, you can't escape your past.
You sacrifice the few to save the many.
I struggled for a long time with survivin', and no matter what, you keep finding something to fight for.
Send your life to a whole new level! Zip up the negative words and start speaking faith and victory into your future.
The love of life is the root of all good.
I don't have to figure out how God is going to solve my problem. I don't have to understand how He's going to bring it to pass. That's His responsibility. My job is to simply believe that He will.
Instead of talking yourself out of your future start talking yourself into it.
John Bunyan, author of the classic book the Pilgrim’s Progress, said “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who cannot pay you back.” Make a decision that you will live to give. Be on the lookout each day for somebody you can bless. Don’t’ live for yourself; learn to give yourself away, and your life will make a difference.
You have greatness in you. The key is to get it out.
You need to take pride in what God has given you.
Never let discouraging people and discouraging situations talk you out of your dream.
You only have so much emotional energy each day. Don't fight battles that don't matter.
