I try to look on all the great things God's done, and not focus on the negative. It's a perspective.

You're not RESPONSIBLE for somebody else's happiness. You're responsible for your own HAPPINESS.

You were never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. You were created to be victorious.

When you get up and say, "God, I want to thank you for being alive, I've got family, I've got my health," you're going to draw in more of the good things from God.

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged - 'There's nothing good in my future' - I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

God wants us to prosper financially, to have plenty of money, to fulfill the destiny He has laid out for us.

You may be at a crossroads in your life. You may have issues to deal with; people you need to forgive. You can go one of the two ways. You can ignore what you now know to be true and keep burying that bitterness in your life, pushing it deeper and allowing it to poison and contaminate you and those around you. Or you can make a much better choice by getting it out in the open and asking God to help you to totally forgive and let it all go.
