You are not defined by your past. You are prepared by your past.
You're going to go through tough times - that's life. But I say, 'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events.
Do not speak defeat, speak victory.
Jesus was saying that you can't have a larger life with restricted attitudes.
God is preparing you for greater things. He's going to take you further than you thought possible, so don't be surprised when He asks you to think better of yourself and to act accordingly.
People will try to label you not good enough, too slow, too old, too many mistakes. You can't stop negative comments or prevent negative labels, but you can choose to not let them hold you back.
Your time is too valuable, your destiny is too great, and your future is too bright to waste a single moment. Be a now person.
God never said that we wouldn’t have unfair situations, that we wouldn’t experience loss. But He promised if we would stay in faith, He would restore everything that was stolen.
Stop living worried & discouraged. You have a Protector, Deliverer & Dream-Giver. No weapon formed against you can prosper.
There’s a lot that is good in your life-don’t take it for granted. Don’t get so focused on the struggles that you miss the gift of today
To reach up for the new, you must let go of the old. What lies behind you is not nearly as important as what lies in front of you.
(after listening to people gripe and complain just smile and remember) Crows can’t hang with eagles.
You need to follow your own heart in light of God’s word and do what you feel is right and good for you.
God will not pour fresh, creative ideas and blessing into old attitudes.
