You can become so manipulated and controlled by what you think other people expect you to do that you literally live under the tyranny of other people's expectations. And what I call the shoulds and the oughts. I believe that hundreds of thousands of people miss their God-ordained destiny and they never really feel satisfied, content and fulfilled, because they're so busy trying to keep everybody else satisfied with them that they don't ever get around to doing what they really want to do.

If you will stop feeding your feelings, then they will stop controlling you.

You are a preacher! Maybe not with your mouth all the time like me, but as a believer in Christ, your life is a living sermon.

We cannot know God apart from His Word.

Stop focusing on what's wrong with everyone else and start focusing on how blessed you are.

I want to focus on God's grace and give thanks for all the good things in my life. I don't want to focus on what I don't have.

You can have Jesus in your spirit and an outrgeous mess in your soul, and if you don't know what that's called it's called religion. That's what it's called dead dry religion......Jesus said you are a bunch of white washed tombs full of dead men's bones, and I tell you if that didn't describe me I don't know what did, because on Sunday mornings I dressed it up and took it to church.
