Stones of judgment, discouragement or doubt may be thrown at you. You can't stop them, but you can make the choice to keep your walls up and not let them affect you.
When you believe, it activates God's power.
You will become what you believe. The truth is, I am what I am today because of what I believed about myself yesterday. And I will be tomorrow what I believe about myself right now
Selfishness is weakness. But loving and caring for others is a position of power beyond anything we can possibly imagine.
Other people's opinions do not determine your potential.
Our goal should be that we're going to live life to the fullest, pursuing our passions and dreams, and when it comes our time to go, we will have used as much of our potential as possible.
Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.
Don't be intimidated by the size of your problem or the size of your dream. God will see to it that it is finished completely.
If you cannot get along with yourself, you'll never be able to get along with other people.
Hard times may have held you down, but they will not last forever. When all is said and done, you will be increased.
When it's all said and done, you may go through the fire, through the flood, through the famine, but you'll come out standing strong.
Don't focus on the good old days, look forward towards the good new days.
There are times you will be given intuition, you just know something, and you can't explain it. Don't override it. Don't talk yourself out of it. That's the Creator giving you inside information.
Let go of the old, take hold of the new and believe that 2013 will be your best year yet!
