I believe that God wants us to show respect.
Instead of focusing on a person’s shortcomings, focus on something about them that exceeds your expectations. Look for the good and you will find it.
Have you been praying and believing for something that’s taking longer than you thought? Many times, people can miss God’s best simply because they give up before they see their answer come. Don’t let that be you! Be encouraged today; your answer is closer than you think.
Get up every day and remind yourself that the Creator of the universe chose you, and you are valuable to Him. Don’t let your mistakes, failures, or other people talk you out of who you are.
Victory starts in your mind. When you meditate on the truth that God is for you and He has a good plan for you, those seeds of faith will spring forth, and you will see yourself as He sees you: capable of doing whatever He has called you to do.
When we face difficulties, it can be hard to stay grateful or difficult to appreciate each day. But God works where there’s an attitude of faith. Be grateful and stay at peace. No matter what comes against you, find the good.
Gratitude is a choice. You can choose to find something to be grateful for, or you can choose to complain and be miserable. Finding something to be grateful for will change your perception of your situation.
Even a simple compliment holds great power. It can help someone get through the day. Spread your words of encouragement widely. Your words can give someone new life. Your words hold the power to keep them strong and give them confidence.
God has entrusted every person with a measure of gifts, talents, and abilities. If you are faithful with what He has given you, He will multiply your gifts and increase them in ways you never dreamed. It’s not about how much you have; it’s about using what you have.
Don’t be so busy and stressed. Slow down and invite God into your situation. When you welcome Him into the middle of your challenges, you’ll have strength that you didn’t have, peace when you could be upset, and faith to enjoy each moment.
You may be ready to give up on a dream, but God isn’t. Don’t give up; keep believing, keep praying. He still has a way to bring it to pass. Never lose sight of the fact that the Creator of the universe is closely watching you.
The choices we make today shape the people we become tomorrow.
Get in the habit of dwelling on the good and remember all that God has done for you.
It’s easy to notice what’s wrong in life, but it takes faith to recognize what’s good. Instead of having a critical eye, it’s important we develop an eye for spotting what’s good.
God wants you to remember the good: what He has done for you in your life. When you remember the good, it helps you through the tough times. Use the power of remembrance to strengthen your faith and help you get through.
Too many people go through life focused on what’s wrong rather than what’s right. We have to be careful not to have a habit of seeing and being drawn to what’s negative. It’s so important to choose to see the beautiful rose before the thorn.
God doesn’t want us to live worried. To become exceptional, you have to travel light. Put aside the worries and walk forward into each day expecting miracles, finding joy, and believing in God’s provision.
Don’t live frustrated. Trust that God is in control, that He’s not only directing your steps but also directing the steps of the people you need. He’s putting you in the right place at the right time.
Learn to be content right where you are. When you are content knowing that God is in control and you stay in peace, all the pieces of your life will fall into place.
Sometimes we have to lose something before we recognize the value in it and appreciate it. We tend to take for granted things that can’t be replaced. The happiest people are the ones who appreciate what they have right now and place value on it.
We have seen with our own eyes those times when God made a way. When you face tough times and your dream looks impossible, just remember. Go back and replay your victories. Relive the times when you thought you were stuck, but God opened a door.
