Well, I - you know, the scripture says that God works by faith. And you have to have faith. You have to have trust in God so that God can work.
When life feels like a yoyo, no matter the ups or the downs know that you'll always end up in the hands of Almighty God.
When you don't look at the good things around you, that you lose sight of all those good things. And you're not going to enjoy your life.
There are a lot of times that we feel like our hands are tied - 'I have no control over if I'm going to lose my job.' 'I have no control over if I'm going to be able to pay my bills.' You've got to realize that that's where your trust comes in. You have to trust God, and keep your hope, because your hope is what produces your faith.
Let me encourage you to get up every day and focus on what you do have in life. Be thankful for the blessings of the little things, even when you don't get what you expect.
God loves you UNCONDITIONALLY.
When you have an optimistic attitude and you believe that God is guiding you, that you will find the good things in your life and that you will lead to good relationships and good people in your life. And you can make the most of what he's given you.
Don't settle for average. You were made for greatness
I just want to encourage every one of us to realize when we obey God, we're not doing it for God—I mean, that's one way to look at it—we're doing it for ourselves, because God takes pleasure when we're happy. That's the thing that gives Him the greatest joy. So, I want you to know this morning: Just do good for your own self. Do good because God wants you to be happy.
You wouldn't go very long without eating food; don't let your spirit starve either. Feed on the Word of God every day.
As women, we're nurturers by nature. We want to make sure everyone is happy. That's a good thing, but we also have to put ourselves on that happiness list.
In life, we will always encounter difficult people. Don't allow them to frustrate you or steal your joy.
Today let me reassure you, God knows right where you are and He knows how to get you to where you need to be. Even when things don't go the way you planned, His hand is on you.
Open your heart and invite God into every circumstance because when God enters the scene, miracles happen.
One of the first choices we make every day is your attitude. Wake up and put on an attitude of thanksgiving.
