If we are to receive the blessings God wants to bestow upon us, we must be willing to give Him the messes in our lives.

Sometimes when you are the closest to your breakthrough the pressure is the greatest. You have come too far to give up now!

What does God require of us? Our part is to believe. Our work is to trust the Lord. His requirement is that we let go and let God.

People often ask me how I keep my priorities straight in life and I tell them that it is done by constantly straightening them out!

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, we will never lose our value in God’s eyes.

When we make a true commitment to walk in love, it usually causes a huge shift in our lifestyle. Many of our ways - our thoughts, our conversation, our habits - have to change.

So now, I exhort you with this truth: Don't spend all your life playing it safe! Safety is very comfortable, but it may be keeping you from God's perfect plan for your life.
