If you look at your circumstances you will put off doing what God is telling you to do. It can seem like the worst time to do whatever God says to do. BUT there is an anointing on "now" if God has told you to act.

Stop looking to everyone else to make you happy and start finding ways that you can make other people happy.

Instead of concentrating on your problems and getting discouraged, focus on God and meditate on His promises for you. You may have fallen down, but you don't have to stay down. God is ready, willing and able to pick you up.

As long as we complain, we remain stuck in our problems. But a thankful attitude brings deliverance and makes God smile.

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.

Some people are hurting so bad you have to do more than preach a message to them. You have to BE a message to them.

Here’s one of my favorite statements: We are never going to enjoy stability, we are never going to enjoy spiritual maturity until we learn how to do what’s right when it feels wrong, and every time you do what’s right by a decision of your will using discipline and self control to go beyond how you feel, the more painful it is in your flesh, the more you’re growing spiritually at that particular moment.
