Dare to believe SOMETHING AMAZING is going to happen in your life. When you believe, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
Closed doors are a test of our faith. Keep moving forward, being your best, living with determination and faith. When you do, you'll see amazing changes all around you.
Act like you're blessed. Talk like you're blessed. Walk like you're blessed. Put actions behind your faith, and one day you will see it become a reality.
There will always be somebody more successful, more beautiful, more talented. You have to realize, you're not running their race. You're running your race.
You didn't just show up on planet Earth by accident.. You were handpicked by Almighty God.
If it’s not meeting a need, turn it into a seed. Remember, we will reap what we sow. When you do good for other people, that’s when God is going to make sure that His abundant blessings overtake you.
If you start praising your wife, if you start telling her how beautiful she is, and how glad you are to have her in your life, when you talk about the good, you will draw out the good. If you talk about the negative, you'll draw out the negative. It's up to you.
God doesn't ask you to figure it all out. He only asks you to believe.
Be a people builder. Look for opportunities to encourage others to bring out the best in them.
You may make some mistakes - but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
Forgiveness doesn't mean that what that person did was right or that you even have to get back into a relationship with that person. Forgiveness simply releases the debt they owe you so that God can release the debt you owe Him. Ask the Lord to search your heart and show you if there is any unforgiveness blocking His blessing in your life. Ask Him to show you more about this gift of forgiveness so that you can walk in the freedom and victory He has for you today.
What you receive is directly connected to what you believe
Every twenty-four hours God has a fresh new supply of grace, of favor, of wisdom, of forgiveness.
Sometimes you face difficulties not because you're doing something wrong, but because you're doing something right.
