When you keep God in first place, He will take you to places you've never dreamed of

The great news is that God knows everything about you, both good and bad, and He still loves you and values you unconditionally. God does not always approve of our behavior. He is not pleased when we go against his will, and when we do, we always suffer the consequences and have to work with Him to correct our thoughts, words, actions, or attitudes. And while you should work to improve in the areas where you fall short, nothing you do will ever cause God to love you less…or more. His love is a constant you can depend on.

Sometimes when you take strong stands, if you're not called to do it, you're dividing the audience you're trying to reach.

We think when God speaks to us, there's going to be a boom out of Heaven or we're going to get some chill bumps, but I really believe God's talking to us all the time. He's talking to us right in here. I call it our heart, our conscience, but it's the Holy Spirit talking to us.

Many times, we miss out on God's best because we give up too soon. We don't realize how close we are to victory.

God knows the dreams and desires in your heart; in fact, He gave them to you. He will order your steps and take you where you need to be.

If you don't have the gift of a loving supportive family, be that gift for someone else. It doesn't have to be a relative, just someone you know who is alone or hurting over the holiday.
