I Always Asked For Forgiveness For My Sins Right Away But I Never Accepted It Until I Felt Right That I Had Suffered Enough To Pay For It.

Giving In To Fear Alters God's Best Plan For Your Life.

Choices You Make

Did You Know There's A Difference Between Being Busy And Being Fruitful? Did You Ever Stop To Think That Just Being Busy - Running Around In Circles All Day But Not Accomplishing Anything - Is The Same As Wasting Your Time? It's Frustrating To Expend So Much Energy And Time And Not Have Any Fruit From Your Effort!

The First Step To Forgiveness Is The Desire To Do It, No Matter How You Feel Toward The Person Who Hurt You. Then You Make The Decision To Do It Which Means It's A Firm Decision That Won't Change When Your Feelings Change. The Next Step Is To Depend On The Holy Spirit To Help You Do What You've Decided To Do.

The Truth Is God Created Us To Have Relationship With Us. He Wants To Love Us And Take Care Of Us, And He Wants Us To Love Him. That's Where Our Walk With Christ Has To Start.

Forgiveness Is Manifested Mercy; It Is Live In Action - Not Love Based On A Feeling, But Love Based On A Decision, An Intentional Choice To Obey God.

So Now, I Exhort You With This Truth: Don't Spend All Your Life Playing It Safe! Safety Is Very Comfortable, But It May Be Keeping You From God's Perfect Plan For Your Life.

The Bible Tells Us To Be Perfect. This Is Likely A Scary Thought For Many People. It Used To Scare Me. I Didn't Think I Could Ever Get There, No Matter How Hard I Tried.

Any Day That We Don't Give Up Puts Us One Day Closer To Success!

It's Amazing If You Just Listen To People. They Tell You All The Time Things That You Can Do For Them, Without Even Realizing What They're Doing. I've Learned To Take Notice Of Those Things And If It's Something That I Feel God Wants Me To Do, Then I Try To Do That To Add Joy To Their Life.

We May Feel Fear But We Do Not Have To Give In To It. We Can Do Whatever We Need And Want To Do, Even If We Have To "do It Afraid." Courage Is Not The Absence Of Fear; It Is Action In The Presence Of Fear.

The Truth Is, Anyone Can Start Projects. The World Is Full Of Just-started Projects That Looked Great At The Time But Were Never Completed.

I Think There's More Women That Watch Me Than Men, But I Don't Look At Myself As Just A Minister To Women. My Ministry Began That Way, But I Really Feel Like The Word Of God Is For Everybody.

You Can Think Whatever You Want To And Laugh, But I Believe If I Would Have Never Learned To Put My Stuff Back On The Right Grocery Store Shelves, And I Would Have Never Learned To Put My Cart Back Where God Told Me To, I Don't Believe I Would Be Standing Here Today Preaching This Message To You. And I Think There Are Literally Millions Of People Who Miss The Will Of God For Their Life Because They Think Little Things Don't Make Any Difference.

Some People Are Hurting So Bad You Have To Do More Than Preach A Message To Them. You Have To Be A Message To Them.

I Am Radically, Insanely, Nutty In Love With Jesus!

Faith Is Having A Positive Attitude About What You Can Do And Not Worrying At All About What You Can't Do.

When An Injustice Happens, We Want To Be Vindicated. People Feel That If They Forgive The Person Who Hurt Them, Then They Will Continue To Take Advantage Of Them Or Not Take Responsibility For What They Did Wrong. If We're Honest, We'll Admit That We Usually Want The Person Who Hurt Us To Pay For What They Did. We Can't Get Past This Until We Get The Revelation That Only God Can Pay Us Back. He Is Our Vindicator - He Will Heal And Restore Us If We Will Trust Him And Forgive Our Enemies As He Has Told Us To Do.

If Someone Decides They're Not Going To Be Happy, It's Not Your Problem. You Don't Have To Spend Your Time And Energy Trying To Cheer Up Someone Who Has Already Decided To Stay In A Bad Mood. Believe It Or Not, You Can Actually Hurt People By Playing Into Their Self-pity.

Happiness Is Not A Feeling, It Is A Choice. To Be Happy, One Must Choose To Be Happy, Not Respond To A Circumstance That Now Controls Your Happiness.

Choose To Be Happy

There's Nothing That You Can't Overcome With God On Your Side.

Everywhere You Look You See People Searching For Love But They're Looking In The Wrong Places. God Is Love, And They Will Never Find What They're Looking For Until They Find Him.

We May Not Know What To Do, But It Is Sufficient To Know The One Who Knows.

Refuse To Let Your Love Grow Cold. Stir Up Love In Your Life - Towards Your Spouse And Towards Your Family, Friends, Neighbours, Co-workers. Reach Out To Others Who Are Hurting And In Need.

Where The Mind Goes, The Man Follows.

You Don't Need To Know What Tomorrow Holds; All You Need To Know Is The One Who Holds Tomorrow.

In My Relationship With God, I've Learned That If I Follow A 'formula' For How I Spend My Time With Him, Then I'm Just Accomplishing A Checklist Of Things I Feel Obligated To Do To Please Him.

God Is With You, And He'll Help You Make Spiritual Progress-strengthening And Encouraging You To Keep On Keeping On During Rough Times. It's Easy To Quit, But It Takes Faith To Press On To Victory.

Because Of The Lingering Discrimination, Many Women Still Lack Confidence. They Live In Fear Of Stepping Beyond What They Feel Is Acceptable 'female' Behavior. I Can Remember Feeling That I Wasn't 'normal' Because I Was Aggressive, Had Dreams And Goals, And Wanted Do Do Great Things...i Am Glad Now That I Found Courage To Do Something Radical And Chase My Dreams.

Complaining Is Dangerous Business. It Can Damage Or Even Destroy Your Relationship With God, Your Relationships With Other People, And Even With Your Relationship With Yourself.

Relationships With Others

Everything Doesn't Have To Feel Good To Be God

I Always Say Believe For A Bunch, And Even If You Only Get Half Of It You Are Better Off Than Believing For A Little And Getting All Of It.

God Forgives Us And Remembers Our Sin No More; Therefore, Stop Remembering What God Has Forgotten.

Instead Of Being Critical Of People In Authority Over You And Envious Of Their Position, Be Happy You're Not Responsible For Everything They Have To Do. Instead Of Piling On Complaints, Thank Them For What They Do. Overwhelm Them With Encouragement And Appreciation!

Go Home, And Let All Your Relatives Off The Potter's Wheel. You Are Not The Potter!
