When you’re in a dark place, you might tend to think you’ve been buried. You see no hope, no way out. But what if it’s a place where God has planted you? If that’s the case, God has a purpose for the place you’re in. Ask Him what He wants you to learn and then just BLOOM where you’re planted.

People are like puzzle pieces. Sometimes the people from our past don’t always fit. Don’t be concerned or feel guilty. It’s okay to let them go. God allows us to grow and move forward. It doesn’t mean that you don’t care about them anymore. You just outgrew them. Your interests are changing and you are picking different roads. Pray for them. Wish them well. And keep moving forward on the path that God has set before you…the one that only you can walk.

If we can see it, we can believe it. But what about those times when we can’t see it!? This is where we fall back on our faith. What is faith? Faith is daring the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see. So, step out in faith and watch God move!

  Hate has caused so many of the problems we see in the world today. Hate divides, accuses, lies and tears down. The one thing that hate can’t do is bring the world to a better place. If this world is ever going to walk in unity, truth and building up, then love has to be in place, specifically God’s love!

  God says: “You’re going to make it. You and your family will be just fine. Just stand still and let me fight this battle!” That means we have to keep our hands out of the mix! No fixers allowed, no worriers or doubters allowed and no negative nellies or complainers allowed. All we have to do is stand still and watch Him work! And it wouldn’t hurt a bit if you decided to thank Him BEFORE you can see the answer and AFTER you see the answer.

God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us. And throughout our lives, He is always asking us to let go of the things that stand in the way of His plan for our life. It may be a person, a friendship, a habit, an attitude or some other thing that distracts us from Him. Sometimes we have to let go of what’s killing us, even if it’s killing us to let go.
