  Thought for the day: When we stop chasing the wrong things, we give the right things a chance to catch us! Powerful words. Ever chase the wrong things? My hand is up! Too many years wasted chasing things that weren’t good for me, things that wouldn’t get me or keep me on God’s path and basically those things did nothing but fill me with regret. I remember a classmate whose mother told her she would have to open her hand and let everything go so that God could place the right thing in her hand. Can you trust God enough to let go of the things that are keeping you tied to sin or off the path God wants you to walk?

”If you look at the people in your circle and you don’t get inspired or encouraged, then you don’t have a circle, you have a cage”. Take a good look at the people surrounding you. Do you leave feeling better when you run into them? Do they have the same heart as you? Are they behind your dreams and encourage you to be your best? Living in a cage keeps you from going forward and it keeps you from being effective in God’s kingdom….do you have a good healthy circle or are you stuck in a cage?

Pray daily. God is easier to talk with than most people. Really! When you talk with God, you will find out that He never interrupts, He just listens. And when He’s ready, then He shares His heart with you. Prayer is almost impossible if you don’t truly know God. Why!? If you sit with Him, if you read His word, if you listen to Him, He will reveal more and more to you personally. And if you sit in His presence and never say a word, you will be empowered and loved on because Gods presence is what it’s really all about.

  It’s not who you are that holds you back…it’s who you THINK you are. How do you see yourself? Smart, funny, capable, friendly, attractive, a child of God, a prayer warrior, a student of God’s Word…and the list goes on and on. You, and you alone, have the ability to choose how you see yourself. So cast down those negative thoughts, “labels” placed by others and curses spoken over you from the time you were little. The truth is that you are God’s Workmanship…and God, my friend, does NOT make junk.

  ”You can never take back a stone that is thrown, the word after its spoken, an occasion after its missed and time after its gone.” Live in the moment and don’t park your brain by the door. Send your brain on ahead to think about the results of what you’re about to do…or not do. It can save you a lot of heartache down the road

Is someone treating you badly? Are they making fun of you or cussing like a seasoned sailor in your presence? We teach people how to treat us by what we allow them to do. If you allow it, you’ve accepted it. If someone isn’t treating you right, the only one to blame is you! Draw the line on bad behavior. You may have to speak up or walk away…but don’t accept behavior that tears you down or makes you feel bad.
