There are no badges or rewards given to Christians who can carry the most burdens and cares the longest. There just isn’t. The reason is because we were never instructed to carry that kind of weight long term. We are to be the facilitators of cares. An issue comes to you and you give it […]
Take care to monitor your self talk. Internal conversations become external realities. Allowing the wrong thing to simmer on your mind without proper ventilation will inevitably cause an explosion. Just because you didn’t say it doesn’t mean it still doesn’t need to be handled with care. Vent the bad stuff to someone qualified to handle […]
Jesus can turn your water into wine, but he can’t turn your whining into anything. Know when to stop complaining and DO something. Whining is not doing. We all have a part and you should never let the size of the issue stop you from doing your part. When Jesus performed the miracle at the […]
If I had eight hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend at least two hours sharpening my ax. YOU are your ax! After a while you will wear out if you don’t take care of yourself. YES, everybody needs something and yes, YOU have to do it … but who will do it if […]
There was a season in my life that I often found myself praying, ‘God, you are all I have!’ The prayer was associated with feelings of severe anxiety. ‘Everything else is gone and all I’m left with is You!’ Eventually God answered my prayer and said, ‘I’m all you have but I’m also all you […]
If you are an evergreen, there is no need to envy the rose bush. Everything has its own season to shine. Be an expert at being you. Don’t abandon who you are just because someone else’s brand is in season right now. The season will come that you may be the only thing standing that […]
Women need security. If it’s not their greatest need, it’s very close to the top. It took me a long time to understand what this really meant, but after MANY failures I get it. It’s more than financial stability or the ability to protect them. It’s more than just ‘not cheating’. Guys, women need US […]
This is simple but true. You don’t need the light IN the light. You need it in darkness. We are called to be the light of the world, yet many of us don’t care to approach any type of darkness. Maybe we don’t want the darkness to ‘get on us’? Understand this… no matter how […]
It is of paramount importance that we remain forward thinking. It’s easy to get caught up and attach our identity to current circumstances. God promises success when we embrace His word and His will. He PROMISES it. So stay ready and prepared for what’s coming. Whether it’s a mate, a company, or a business opportunity, […]
Every one of us was born with a purpose. Whatever your purpose is, you have the seeds of greatness inside of you RIGHT NOW to be great at it. You just have to water them. How do you water your seeds of greatness? Realize Who put the seeds there in the first place and embrace […]
Ever wonder why your romance feels dull and maybe even distant? We often look for the “BIG” things that destroy relationships while ignoring the “…little foxes that destroy the vine” (Solomon 2:15).  If we are honest, we can admit that over time we become consumed with the demands of life and before we know it, […]
Be honest. We’ve all done it before. We pray and ask God to do something we really need Him to do. Whether it’s praying for the recovery of a loved one, praying for a financial miracle or even praying that we don’t get caught (if you REALLY want to be honest). Has there ever been […]
