Faith is all about trusting God even when you don't understand His plan.
Keep on keeping on!!!
When you acknowledge God, He will go before you and make the crooked places straight.
Smiling resets your mood.
Slow down and enjoy the journey right now. Take time for the people in your life. They won't always be there.
I preach that anybody can improve their lives. I think God wants us to be prosperous. I think he wants us to be happy. To me, you need to have money to pay your bills. I think God wants us to send our kids to college. I think he wants us to be a blessing to other people. But I don't think I'd say God wants us to be rich. It's all relative, isn't it?
You may have failed, but you are not a failure. That's what you did. That's not who you are.
Make the decision and say, "I'm not letting that worry in. I'm done being upset when my plans don't work out. I'm not letting that stress in." Negative thoughts will still come to your mind, but you don't have to let them into your spirit.
God wants to use you in spite of your weaknesses. Of God chose to use perfect people only, He’d have no one to use
Faith doesn't always instantly deliver you, but it always carries you through.
Maybe you once were excited about that person God supernaturally brought into your life as a marriage partner, but now all the excitement has worn off. Don’t’ allow that sense of a miracle to slip away. Don’t get so familiar with each other that you take one another for granted.
The greatest difficulty always comes right before the birth of a dream.
Hold on to that new, enlarge vision of victory that God has given you. Start expecting things to change in your favor. Dare to boldly declare that you are standing strong against the forces of darkness.
Faith is not in your head. Faith is in your heart. Sometimes you have to turn your mind off and listen to your heart.
