God doesn’t want us to live timid, shy, weak, wimpy, fearful, boring lives. He wants us to be bold, con dent and courageous, unafraid to try new things. And it never ceases to amaze me what God will do through a person who simply steps out in faith.

Ask God to fill your mouth with the words you need to say today. No issue is so small that it doesn't require God's wisdom.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. I'm not happy. I don't know what's wrong. If I just had another job, I could be happy. If I just get married, I would be happy. Well if I just wasn't married, I would be happy. Well, if I just had some kids, I'll be happy. I'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. If I had a bigger house, I would be happy. Well, I got a big house. Now if I just had a maid to clean, I'd be happy. Well, now if I just had a maid I could get along with better, I'd be happy.

Trust means we always have questions that we don't have the answers to.

Wow! you might actually have to act like a Christian sometimes!

A positive attitude gives you power over your circumstances instead of your circumstances having power over you.

God's grace will never be available to you to become another person. He created to be you - the best "you" you can be! Forget about trying to be someone else.
