When you live in regret, you’ve already made up your mind about what is possible. You’ve decided in advance what will happen next based on a past experience you have already defined in your mind as failure. But God says that you’re forgiven, that you’re redeemed. You’ve been

When you hear people quote the amazing promise in Psalm 37 that “God will give you the desires of your heart,” they often don’t start with the first half of that verse: “Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give…” God first wants to shape His desires in our heart so that He

Are you facing a giant? Turn your telescope around. Do you feel outnumbered and surrounded? Ask God for eyes to see the bigger, fuller reality. Are you in the midst of what looks like a negative situation? Choose to have eyes to see the good.

It wasn’t easy for Jesus to step away, but it was essential. It’s not easy for us either. Our families and jobs keep us busy enough, but then there are friends, social media, news, the sports and entertainment world. Just like Jesus had, there’s always something to pull you away.

We can carry regret over what we did not do but wish we had, including opportunities we passed up and open doors we didn’t step through. God doesn’t want you growing “old” that way— full of regret and sadness. His desire is for you to be dreaming, and achieving, and living with

You don’t have to earn grace. It’s God’s gift so you can step into all He has for you.

Keep your hopes up because hope is from heaven! Hope creates vision. Hope gives your faith something to anchor itself to.

Jesus says that as long as we live, “Offenses will surely come” (Luke 17:1), but He tells us how to deal with an offense—cover it and forgive. The choice is ours. Don’t let life’s hurts get into your heart.

Today is the day the Lord has made and He has something special for this very moment. Don’t miss out on what He’s doing right now. ❤️

Living with the feeling that things could have or should have been different not only impacts your life negatively but can rob others of blessings and benefits, too. Is regret holding you captive?

Proverbs 17:9 says, “He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love.” You have to cover that offense. You have to forgive. It doesn’t belong to you. That offense came from that situation. It belongs to that person. It is not yours unless you take it in.

The writer of Hebrews says, “For you have need of patient endurance, so that when you have carried out the will of God, you may receive and enjoy to the full what is promised” (Hebrews 10:36). We need to develop our patience, knowing that at the appointed time, God is going to

The enemy would love for you to go through life against yourself. Nothing would make him happier than to keep you trapped in a prison of “woulda, coulda, shoulda.” Here is the thing: When you ask God to forgive you, He forgives you. But you must then move to the next phase and

Don’t let the delay or discouragement make you think it’s over. God is still working. Hold on to His strength!

Do you ever wonder how you can develop the relationship with God that you’d like? You need time to spend alone with God. Time to read His Word, to hear His voice, to let Him change you into the person He wants you to be.

You’re not working unto people; you’re working unto God. Do it with your whole heart because that’s what honors Him.

God entrusts each of us with opportunities, influence, special gifts to build His kingdom and to bless others. Using your gifts, your resources, or your time to serve others is what pleases the heart of God.

Sometimes we don’t think we have anything to give. We’re convinced we need someone to bless us. But we all have something. You can give a smile, an encouraging word. You can take your elderly neighbor to dinner or call that friend who’s not feeling well.

The only way you can develop an intimate relationship with God is when you push away the distractions and make time with Him. Take a Scripture, ponder over it and listen to what He is saying. Sit quietly in His presence and listen.
