Better through Criticism

"The trouble with most of us is that we'd rather be ruined by praise than saved 
by criticism."

Set Your Value

If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price.

My Heart, My Passion

Absence does make the heart grow fonder and it creates a greater appreciation for the shared times and memories. Maturity is hidden in the essence of time and after all this time my fondness and passion is still there for you.

Silence and Trust

God is waiting in the silence
For a heart that He can fill;
He must find it cleansed and empty,
With a spirit calm and still. —Smith

True trust in God stays strong even when He is silent.

Today's Quote

"You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage - pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically - to say 'no' to other things. And the way to do that is by having a bigger 'yes' burning inside. The enemy of the 'best' is often the 'good.'"

- Stephen Covey

If you believe it, speak it!

After challenging work assignments, early morning rising and unpleasant attitudes, you can now focus on relaxing your body and mind.  

For some, this week will challenge your walk with the Lord.  For others, this week will be a breeze.  

Have you ever found yourself praying for God to perform a miraculous deed in your life?  With everything going against you, the hand of God was needed immediately.  

Have you ever sat in your car trying to prevent interacting with certain people? You really was not in the mood to be bothered by gossiping co-workers or nosy church members.  

Have you ever asked God to strengthen your body during long and exhausting tasks?  Do you believe in the things you pray for?  Do you really believe God can?

My friend, If You Believe It, Speak It!  Often times we ask God to do something awesome in our lives, but we never walk out what we asked the Lord to do.  The Bible declares in Job 22:28 - Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.  

If I speak (out of my mouth) the word of God and not waver against it, God will do it according to His will.  

The challenge is not God's abilities, but our faith to speak it and walk it out.  

No matter how difficult the situation appears, no matter how deadly the report, no matter how crazy it sounds, If You Believe It, Speak It!    The Bible declares in Proverbs 18:21 -Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  

You have the power to believe in the Lord.  God will do what He promised He would.

My brother, my sister, what are you faced with today?  Has the trial become hard to handle?  Are you frustrated beyond control?  Have you asked the Lord to help you?  Do you believe He will step in?  

The Bible declares in Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.  

If You Believe It, Speak It!   

Whether it is chaos on your job, confusion in your home, attacks against your body, scandal against your character or hurt in your heart, if you speak the word of God against your attacker, that situation has to move. 

The Bible declares in Mark 11:23 - For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
