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.

Genuine thanksgiving is a response to both who God is and what He has done, is doing, and will do.

You have the power to make the world a better place by being kind to someone today

Each time we act to improve the life of another person, we send forth a ripple of hope in what appears to be a hopeless society.

In the midst of your battles, never forget that God loves you and He has a plan for you.

Battles are fought in our minds every day. When we begin to feel the battle is just too difficult and want to give up, we must choose to resist negative thoughts and be determined to rise above our problems. We must decide that we're not going to quit. When we're bombarded with doubts and fears, we must take a stand and say: "I'll never give up! God's on my side. He loves me, and He's helping me! I'm going to make it!"

What's real freedom? Real freedom is being able to not have my way and still be just as happy as if I did.
