Inherent in God's commandment that I love my neighbor as I love myself is that if I don't love myself, I won't love my neighbor.
Success results from fulfilling your potential; greatness results from helping others to fulfill theirs.
Fears always causes far more suffering than the things I'm afraid of--most of which never come to pass or aren't nearly as bad as imagined. Fear does not herald the coming of the enemy--it IS the enemy. I shall not surrender to it. God is on my side. (Joshua 1:9)
Don't forfeit your joy in the present because you're too focused on trying to recapture the past and chase the future.
Adults recognize leaders the same way kids do. Who does what they say they'll do? Who can I rely on? Who pays attention to me?
Don't be so caught up in prayer that you forget to praise. God should hear "Thank You!" at least as much as He hears "Please?"
In the midst of battle, don't be so focused on the enemy that you lose sight of your goal. Check for the haters, but keep your eyes on the prize, and be encouraged!
I made it this far because others pray for me when I don't have the sense to pray for myself. Lord, I am grateful! Let's rejoice in the day and pray for one another!
Living in the past is prison. Living for the future is slavery. Freedom can be found only in the now. Be present, & be free.
