Visualize It

You have the power to visualize. And what you intensely and persistently visualize, you will create.

See it in your mind, and you'll move naturally, vigorously and effectively toward it in your life. Fill your awareness with the substance of your dreams, and those dreams begin their transformation into… Continue

Pride Does Go Before A Fall

By the grace given me I say to everyone of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the measure of faith God has given you. — Romans 12:3 (NIV)



Thoughts on Today's Verse...



Pride does go before a fall! Try balancing these two truths: "I must not be prideful, but I must understand just how much God values me." It's not easy. Satan can use our self denigration, what I call the worthless… Continue

The Lord Is The King Over The Whole Earth

The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name.

— Zechariah 14:9 (NIV)



Thoughts on Today's Verse...



"Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." Jesus taught us to pray for the day that the LORD would be The recognized King over all the earth. We look forward to that, because our faith will be shown true and the LORD himself will be glorified as he should be. In a world of profanity, a world where God's… Continue

Thoughts on Today's Verse...



God has a purpose and plan for each of our lives. The greatest thing we can do is to find that purpose and live it out. We can trust his purpose for us because it is based on his wisdom and love.

How Much Higher

By doing what you must do, you learn what you can do. By learning what you can do, you raise your expectations.



Get out and participate in life. Take on challenges and make things happen.



The only way to know for sure what you're capable of doing, is to get busy and put your abilities to the test. When you do, you'll discover new and valuable skills, interests and passions that can take you far.

Lets Commit To The Lord's Work

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. — 2 Peter 3:9 (NIV)



Thoughts on Today's Verse...



Maranatha -- O Lord come! This cry of the early church, especially during times of trial, persecution, and difficulty must be tempered with the reminder that there is a lost world around us -- many of whom are dear friends and family. Our passion for the Lord's… Continue

Another Road

If something looks to be impossible, look at it in a different way. What you wish to do can be done, though perhaps not in the way you originally thought.



Just because one road is blocked, does not mean that the destination is unreachable. You can always find another road, or make your own.



An important part of any achievement is making it your own achievement. It is your very own dream, and you must find your own way there.



Whatever seems to be blocking you is… Continue

The Key To Life

[Spoken by Jesus] "...whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it." — Matthew 16:25 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

The key to life is letting go of ourselves and welcoming Jesus and his will into our lives. Please don't forget to relinquish your life to the one who gave up his own life for you. You see, he took it back up again, just so that when we lose our life to him, we can have it back forever with him.

Love Your Neighbor

Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. — Leviticus 19:18 (NIV)



Thoughts on Today's Verse...



Hanging on to bitterness and keeping alive grudges is consuming work. It leaves little energy for blessing others, praising God, or enjoying life. The only way to get over a bitter heart toward others is to actively love and serve them in ways that bless their lives. If we can't do this because it's hard to… Continue

The Truth In Your Desire

You can imagine what has never been. You can imagine the way to make it so.

Even Though You Don't Feel Like It

What's the best thing to do if you can't get motivated to take action that you know you must take? Go ahead and do it anyway.



Sure, it's nice to be positively motivated. Yet even if you lack the motivation, you still have the ability to act.



Even if you don't feel like doing what must be done, you can still do it. Yes, your feelings are powerful, but you are even more powerful.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...



There is a freedom when we realize that we all fall short and are in need of someone to help us. We can stop trying harder and realize that what we could not do, God already has done in Christ. We are more wicked than we want to admit, but we are more loved than we could ever dream!… Continue

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. — Psalm 91:1 (NIV)

Choose The Future

Don't waste your energy on fear of the future. Put that energy into creating a future that's just the way you want it to be.



Worrying about what might happen gets you nowhere. When you feel the need to worry, transform that negative energy into positive action.
