There will be growth in the painful parts of life that you will not gain any other way. The process will not make you perfect, but it will move you toward being more like Christ.

If you’re depending on credit to maintain your lifestyle, you’re living beyond your means.

People are like tea bags—sometimes you don't know what's in them until you drop them in hot water.

“God teaches people through suffering and uses distress to open their eyes.” .Job 36:15 (GNT).

God’s promises work .when you’re obedient.

Trust God and say, .“I don’t know how God is going to do it, but I know he will do it.”.

“The most important commandment is this . ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.” .Mark 12:29-30 (NLT).

“I have made up my mind to obey your laws forever, no matter what.” Psalm 119:112 (CEV). The reason why most people are ineffective in life is that they’ve never learned how to fight the battle in their mind.

God wants you to be healthy in every area of your life—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. To be strong mentally, you must focus your mind on the right things. Here are three things you can think about to improve your mental health.

God is far more interested in changing your mind than changing your circumstances.

Great people make people feel Great, but small people put others down—thinking it’ll make themselves feel better.

Every time you start to get stressed, pause and say, “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1 ESV).

God is more interested in YOUR CHARACTER .than he is in your ACCOMPLISHMENTS. While you’re working on your goal, God is working on YOU. He is building your character, and that’s what’s going to last for eternity.

If you don’t have goals, you have already decided to let other people run your life. When you don’t decide in advance what’s important, you’re letting other people decide for you. You end up wasting your life because you never clarify how you want to grow as a follower of Christ.

“We plan the way we want to live, but only GOD makes us able to live it.” Proverbs 16:9 (MSG).

“We must get rid of everything that slows us down, especially sin that distracts us. We must run the race that lies ahead of us and never give up.” Hebrews 12:1 (GW).

Today's Scripture. And God said to Moses, . “I AM WHO I AM.” And .He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me.to you.’” Exodus 3:14, NKJV.

You’ve got to know the truth if your life is going to be transformed.Why? .Because every self-defeating behavior is based on a lie you’re believing. If you want to change your life, you’ve got to identify the lie and say, “That’s just not true.” Then you change the way you think.
