  • What to think about…

    Think of the things that make you happy. Create the fuel that destroys depression. Do not think of things that make you sad; think of things that make you happy. 

    · Think of the blessings that surround you. 

    · Think of your friendships, people who love you, who care about you, who are there for you. 

    · Thinks of the gains that you have made in life. You may have had some setbacks, but you have also made progress. Think about that.

    · Think of the good that is spoken of you. People who love you and care for you say good things about you; think about those things. 

    · Think of the days of health, vitality, pleasure. The more you think about that, the more those things are going to come back into your life.

    · Think of the days that were filled with sunshine. Do not look at the clouds; look at the sun. Do not look at the despair; look at the good. Think of yourself taking a walk in the sunshine. 

    · Think of the hopes that lie before you. There is a greater future. Never live in the past. There is another chapter being written for your life, another tomorrow. The page is going to turn.

    · Think of the service that you still can give if someone needs you. Someone needs the gift, the skills, the abilities, the wisdom, the knowledge that only you can give because you are unique, one of a kind. There is nobody else like you.

    · Think of the happiness of others, because there you will find your own happiness. Think about how you can bless other people. Life is an echo: whatever you send out is going to come back. You can have everything in life you want if you help other people get what they want. 

    Remember: You are God’s best!

  • Do not fear …

  • Cling to God’s Promises

    Cling to God’s Promises

    What do you think about?

    The thoughts you fill your mind with are crucial because what you cling to influences your worldview.

    If you choose to dwell on God’s promises, you start to recognize God’s blessings during uncertain times. Trusting that God will redeem your present pain equips you to walk forward in faith and keep on fighting.

    Isaiah 12:2 reminds us that we belong to a God who is faithful to keep His promises. This God rescues us and fights for us. So when we belong to God, we have nothing to fear—all we need to do is cling to God and wait on Him to act.

    So as you walk forward today, reflect on some of God’s promises, and let them transform the way you think:

    God will sustain you. (Psalm 55:22)

    God’s peace will guard your heart. (Philippians 4:7)

    God delights over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)

    God will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. (Psalm 32:8)

    God is your refuge and strength, your help in times of need. (Psalm 46:1)

    In all things, you are more than a conqueror because God loves you. (Romans 8:37)

    God will never leave you or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6)

    God’s perfect love casts out all your fear. (1 John 4:18)

    Nothing can separate you from God’s love. (Romans 8:38-39)

    God’s not done with you. God’s not done with you. God’s not done with you. (Philippians 1:6)

  • Relationship Journey

    Surrendering our lives to Jesus is not an oath of perfection; it’s a statement of allegiance. It’s not just one moment in our lives. It’s a reorientation and alignment of our hearts to bring our minds, emotions, and wills into daily submission to his plan and purpose for us. Life is a journey in relationship with Jesus, following him each step of the way. We experience a life of freedom and fruitfulness through a succession of individual days of following him.

  • Thanksgiving: Thankful

    I’m happy to be Yours. That closing sentence really resonated with me this morning during devotions when this prayer came up from the list.

    Thank you

    I’m grateful

    Jesus, thank You for Your life on earth—for the time You spent teaching us, loving us, and suffering on our behalf. I’m grateful You made a way for us to have an eternal relationship with You. You are my everything—I’m happy to be Yours. Amen.

  • Chaos

    Whatever turmoil or confusion you’re walking into today, remember that Jesus is in control of your chaos. And more than that, he’s calling you to get on top of the chaos with him.
