Today is a New Day....

When we awake in the morning to a new day we should remember that God's strength and love is new every morning.  Yesterday is in the past.  Sometimes it is hard to let go of the circumstances of yesterday.  It is not easy to try to move forward, especially if you are surrounded by doubt, relationships, and situations that continue to feed those difficult times.

We can only be the best that we can be.  Try harder to take responsibility for your actions and to take control of your situation.  Do your best to help those around you to become the best they can.  We cannot always be selfish, but we must remember that we all are a piece of the puzzle. We must work together to achieve a finished product. 

Look around you today - how can you help someone near you achieve their dream?  Are you a help or are you a hinderance in their way?  Work out the kinks and strive to help others, and this in turn will help you.

"Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another." Romans 14:19 (King James Version)

You Are Not Defeated!!

Is the circumstances of life just crushing you? Do you feel like there is no way out, or no solution to your mountain of problems? Do you feel worthless or that you have made too many mistakes to make it right? You are not alone. We all feel defeated and downcast at times.

In these times we must remember how BIG our God is.

Don’t forget Satan is a liar and tries to deceive. Do not let his voice overpower the Holy Spirit’s sweet whisper. He will try to make you feel less than worthy and try to make you lose faith in yourself. Don’t let him do it. God’s word to you is His spoken promise over your life. He will bring to pass that which He promised, if you are faithful to obey. We have made it this far…..we must hold on to the promise and have faith to believe in the ability that God has given us. When we face difficulties and defeat, it is easy to give up and think that there is no hope. We must remember how Joseph stayed faithful, even though he was wrongfully accused. God’s promise….the dream Joseph saw….helped him to stay strong. He believed in God and he believed in himself, and God’s promise was fulfilled.

Sometimes it is hard to believe in yourself. Do not let the enemy deceive you into believing you have no worth. You must believe that God has chosen you for such a time as this. Take refuge in the comfort of His arms, and rest in His love. Know that if He is on your side, you can never be defeated. And YES YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!!
