You don't have to live up to anyone's expectations, just be the best you can be

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.

Listen carefully to the words and tone of voice you use with your spouse. Are you complaining all the time and telling her what she's not doing right? Or are you doing like Solomon-blessing, encouraging, and uplifting that woman?

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

Men, learn to speak blessings over your wife and you will see that woman rise to a new level. She will respond to your praise and encouragement. Your words don't have to be poetic, fancy, or profound. Tell her simply but sincerely, "You're a great mother to our children. And you are a great wife to me. I'm so glad I can always count on you."

Isn't it funny how babies laugh a lot? I read a toddler, a young child laughs 300 times a day. The average adult laughs, like, four times a day. God put it in them. He put the laugh in us, but I think sometimes we let life get us down, you know, have bad breaks, and we lose our breaks.

You're not better than anybody else, but you're not less than anybody else. You're a child of the Most High God.
