I can give you the tools to reach the dreams you have inside.
Instead of loaves of bread, many times God gives out handfuls of purpose.
Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself
I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
The dream God gives you guarantees, no matter what it looks like now, when it’s all over, your dream will come to pass.
We have a tendency to want the other person to be a finished product while we give ourselves the grace to evolve.
Worship strengthens you. It gives you a sense of God's presence and ultimately His protection and provision.

God will give you anything as long as you understand that he is the primary and not the secondary.
God gives you the resources for success. But it is up to you to recognize them and use them to their fullest.
