“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
John 13:34

“All extreme sensitivities, fastidiousness, suspicion, readiness ot take offense, and tenacity of what we think our due, come from self-love, as does the unworhty secret gratification we sometimes feel when another is humbled or mortified; the cold indifference, the harshness of our criticism, the unfairness and hastiness of our judgements, our bitterness towards those we dislike, and many other faults must more or

Never let other people speak their doubts over your belief. If there is a dream in your heart it has been planted there for a reason. Sometimes we need our soul fitness to match our physical fitness.

People will tear you down, but God will always pick you up. He will grow you, but will always work with your positives.

You matter.
Your voice matters.
And your feelings matter.
Faith overrides feelings, but faith won’t discredit or patronize them.

Your life is a collection of moments and memories. Make the most of it!

Don’t forget! Keep the

What can we do when it feels like the world has been stripped of you? How should we go? How do we proceed and prevail?

Be Faithful.

We proceed faithfully into our destiny.

Ships have anchors to hold them tight during the dread of night.

Be still.

What do the caterpillar and bumble bee have in common?

Neither knows how extraordinary they could be. Sometimes the same it true for you and for me. We never see ourselves quite as we should. Either too grand or not so good.

But the caterpillar overcomes to become something beautiful that can fly. And the bee possesses wings that can take it high despite the laws of physics (body too big and wings too small). He flies anyway and extracts sweet nectar everywhere he goes.

All of life has something beautiful that can

The Gladiator Mindset

Have you ever known someone who had an all or nothing mindset? I’d like to call it a Gladiator Mindset. Think about a gladiator of Ancient Rome. These men stepped into the arena knowing the only man leaving was the last man standing. He had to be all in. He must have laser focus. His eyes must be keen and aware of everything happening around him. Intent. His intent must be “victory is the only option”. Mindset is the fuel in his veins that bear the fruit and

Don’t be Overwhelmed and take Courage

A step forward can be great gain when we use it to give Glory to His Name.

You’re steps are Chosen.

His Path for you clear.

He has seen each one before you ever took one.

Think about that.

Have confidence in that!

You can only bubble over with the Hope and Glory knowing you will have a Banner finish to this Year!

No matter what you face today–it is building in you a foundation for brighter days…if you will just keep going!

Hope has an anthem and it

Follow your heart, it has instinct. Take courage, dreams have lofty price tags. Follow your path, it is your own. With faith, courage and curiosity anything becomes possible.

Only God can equip his children with a meek and quiet soul disposition, yet the powerful boldness that knows its voice and why it’s been given and when to use it. There is

When I fear sudden disaster—

I will raise a hallelujah.

When the world seems to be crashing in against me, I will remind myself that though a thousand may fall at my side and 10,000 at my right hand no harm will befall me. I am secure. (Psalm 91)

I will raise a hallelujah.

When it appears my enemy will trample me I am reminded I have been set apart for something greater and

I will raise a hallelujah.

When the sting of life leaves us

God tends to have a preference for the Impossible. That’s where He does His best work. The impossible seems to be His specialty. In fact, Ge does His BEST work when the odds are stacked against us.

David met up with a giant. Moses opposed the leader of Egypt. Daniel prayed when He was told not to. Esther stepped into territory she wasn’t allowed. Ruth forsook her birthright for the Identity of God through Naomi. She stepped foot on the threshing floor and received for herself a Kinsman Redeemer named Boaz

Noah was on the back forty talking to God…

What is the back forty?

back forty noun

Definition of back forty

: a remote and uncultivated or undeveloped piece of land of indefinite size (as on a farm)

Because of the nature of Noah’s Intimacy with Heaven he was immune to the commentary of his peers. It may be true he didn’t like it, but it didn’t waiver or move him to unmove what God had asked him to move. So he moved…the comfort zone of every human on the planet. Figuratively and then literally!
