One of the most powerful forces in our lives is encouragement.
Encouragement is so important because it is life-altering. Not only for the person who gets it...but also for the one who gives it.
And David was greatly distressed;
for the people spake of stoning him,
because the soul of all the people was
grieved, every man for his sons and for
his daughters: but David encouraged
himself in the LORD his God.
1Samuel 30:6
Pain is part of the plan
Problems are part of the project Rejection is part of the requirement
"When you feel like giving up,
remember why you held on for
so long in the first place."
"We may encounter many
defeats but we must
not be defeated."
~Maya Angelou~
Hatred paralyzes life;
Love releases it.
Hatred confuses life;
Love harmonizes it.
Hatred darkens life;
Love illuminates it.
~Martin Luther King Jr.~
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,and you will find rest for your souls.For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
~Matthew 11:28-30~
Victory is not in the
SUCCESS
But in the
STRUGGLE!
~Execute The Word~
Look within yourself and discover you.Your in-look will shape your outlook and your outlook will effect your outcome your perspective will affect your performance.
You can accomplish more in one hour with God than one life time without Him
Live the joy filled life by worshiping God with the way you live, letting your tongue confess to others that Jesus Christ is Lord. There’s real joy in giving away your faith.
What is the key to discovering the Lord’s purpose for our lives? In Romans 12:1-2, the apostle Paul challenges us as Believers to give ourselves totally to God. He goes on to say, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”
Prayer is communication between man and God. A family that incorporates prayer into their lifestyle are giving the ultimate gift to themselves. Life is difficult and suffering is an inevitable part of life. A family that prays knows that they can turn to God and be accepted and loved for who they are. Every human being needs to turn to God with his or her triumphs and failures and know that life is meaningful. A family that prays together has the ultimate support system.
Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed , we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 1John 3:2
I have only but a minute 60 seconds in it. Forced upon me I can't refuse it, didn't seek it, didn't choose it, but its up to me to use it. I must suffer if I lose it, give an account if I abuse it. Just a tiny little minute. But eternity wrapped up in it.
Moral excellence comes about
as a result of habit.
We become just by doing
just acts, temperate by
doing temperate acts,
brave by doing brave acts.
~Aristotle~
“There is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call friend, engage those among you who are visionary and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair and disrespect.”
~Nikki Giovanni~
Direct my footsteps according to your word; let no sin rule over me.
Psalms 119:133
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ~Marianne Williamson~
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up and totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, Wow!
What A Ride!
A witness, in the sense that I am using the word, is a man whose life and faith are so completely one that when the challenge comes to step out and testify for his faith, he does so, disregarding all risks, accepting all consequences.
All good is hard. All evil is easy. Dying, losing, cheating, and mediocrity is easy.
Stay away from easy.
Make a DIFFERENCE in life. There must come a time when going for the things you desire most, means more than winning or losing.
~Authur Ashe~
Greater love has no one than this that he lay down his life for
his friends

Friendship isn't a big thing
it's a million little
things.

We are all faced with
Great Opportunities
brilliantly disguised as
Impossible Situations.
What looks like a Set Back
Is only A
Set Up for A Come Back!
The race is not given to the swift nor the battle to the strong...but to they that endure to
the end.
The battle is not ours,
hand it over to the Lord,
and watch Him perform miracles for us.
Put on the whole armor of God.
~Lady White~
"If you don' like something change it!. If you can't change it, change your attitude.
Don't Complain"
~Maya Angelou~
In essence, If we want to direct our lives,
we must take control of our consistent
actions. It is not what we do once
in a while that shapes our lives,
but what we do CONSISTENTLY
You get the credit for what you finish,
Not for what you start!
If you think you are beaten, you are.
If you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win but think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you're are outclassed you are,
you got to think high to rise,
you got to be sure of your self,
if your ever going to win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But sooner or later, the one who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
Success in not FinalFailure is not Fatal
It is the courage to
continue that counts!
You can't make them both
and you can't miss them both
He came out of Nowhere!
Into Somewhere!
And created Everywhere!
Baptism is rich in meaning. It suggests cleansing. When you are a disciple, you understand that you are cleansed by Christ. You understand that Christ died in your place on the cross, paying for your sins, fully forgiving you for all your wrongs. You are cleansed from guilt, and you are becoming a cleaner, healthier, more whole person.
“There's a difference between interest
and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it
only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you
accept no excuses, only results.”
Revelation 3:15-16
