I believe that God's dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don't mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you're planted. But I don't have the mindset that money is a bad thing.

I guess no matter how hard you try, you can't escape your past.

Take the limits off of yourself. You will never rise higher than your thinking. Create a great vision for your life.

You won't be free from guilt if you are constantly replaying the negative memories of your past. If you're going to replay anything, replay your victories!

Keep in mind, hurting people often hurt other people as a result of their own pain. If somebody is rude and inconsiderate, you can almost be certain that they have some unresolved issues inside. They have some major problems, anger, resentment, or some heartache they are trying to cope with or overcome.

The facts may tell you one thing. But, God is not limited by the facts. Choose faith in spite of the facts.

No matter how dark and gloomy it looks in your life right now, if you'll release the weight of those burdens, you will see the sun break forth.
