It’s a little after 10 am on a Monday morning; I am sitting at my desk and looking through glass windows. My view overlooks nothing grand, but it’s beautiful in its own right. And I am assured that many people at home, sending their resume out to countless places, just as I am doing, much rather be in my “dilemma” because I at least have a job—in fact I have two. I try to remind myself of this as often as I can in an effort to be in a constant spirit of gratefulness and to keep things in proper…

Sometimes God might call you to do things that seem simple and sometimes He may call you to do things that seem impossible. Trusting Him to get you through makes all the difference.
God forgives us daily. You can forgive too. Forgiveness simply means that your heart should be free from hate, bitterness, and anger.
Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. (Matthew 6:1) Some people love to do good things for other people not because it’s the right thing to do, but for their own selfish reasons. It makes them feel good about themselves. It makes them feel important, needed and wanted. Truth is… if you’re not doing it for the right reason, you might as well not do it at all. Kindness should be something that flows from the heart, not…
My eyes tell me to give up because this battle can’t be won, but my heart says to hold on a little while longer, and my spirit says God is going to work it out.
Sometimes we want something so bad that we never stop to ask God what He wants for us. We set our hopes on favors too small. Thinking that if we don’t ask for much, God will answer our prayer. I remember as a child, I would pray for something really big and then I would end my prayer by saying something like “Lord, if You can’t give me what I want, just give me what You can!” As an adult, I’ve learned that our God is not a second best God. He only gives His very best. No in between,…
Sometimes it takes a traumatic experience to make us appreciate the little things in life, that we would normally take for granted. Things money can’t buy… Love, Health, Peace of mind etc. Sometimes we complain so much that we don’t realize God hears everything. We find ourselves saying things like “I hate this old car”, “I hate my job”, or “I hate so and so”! That is until the car breaks down and we have no car, the job we hated so much… has just given us our walking papers, or the the person you hated so much is gone,…
God places people in our lives for a variety of reasons. Some we will never know, Some will be quite obvious. One thing I’ve learned is that no matter how saved and loving you are, there is always going to be someone who is going to dislike you. The bad part about it is that sometimes these people are the people we care the most about… our “friends”. I recall a time when I was going through a lot. It seemed as though everything that could go wrong, DID! Luckily I had someone who was there for me and had…
That moment you realize God had this planned all along…
When God has something better for you…
