One day, we’ll look back and say, “Look what the Lord has done. Look at how He sustained my family in that tough time, look at how He healed me from that sickness, look at how He set me free from addiction, how He blessed me.” If it weren’t for His goodness, His favor, His mercy, you wouldn’t be able to withstand what’s trying to stop you.
You have enough people on the outside trying to push you down, limit your potential, lessen your value. Don't put yourself down. Nobody should be more for you than you. That’s being responsible with the gift God has given you. Learn to celebrate who God made you to be.
You’re not inconveniencing God by asking big. God being good to you doesn’t stop Him from being good to someone else. No, God has unlimited favor, unlimited power. The Scripture says, “It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Maybe He’s just waiting for you to ask.
If you’re living as a thermometer—letting conditions set your mind, feelings determine your joy, & other people impact your attitude—life is going to be a rollercoaster. You can’t control all those things. Why don’t you start setting your mind? Make a decision every morning that you’re going to be positive, hopeful, grateful.
DON'T LET YOUR FEELINGS LEAD - STAND
IN TRUTH
Your emotions may shift. Your mood may rise and fall. But your position in Christ never changes.
You are in Christ — your identity is secure. You are righteous, not condemned. The work is already finished. So don't evaluate your life based on how you feel... stand on what is already true.
Wake up every day with confidence, not confusion. With joy, not heaviness. With truth, not temporary emotion.
" Rejoice — not because everything feels right, but because everything is right in Him.

A 26-year-old student sent a message to his teacher to explain that he will be absent from the class because he has not found anyone to take care of his five-month-old daughter...
Nathan Alexander, 34, a math professor at Morehouse College (Atlanta) responded to his student by saying:
"If that's the problem, take her to class."
Upon arriving in the classroom, the teacher offered to take the child so that his student could devote himself entirely to the course.
The teacher held the child throughout the lesson and even after, when he answered the students questions.
This photo is of the teacher who not only teaches math but also exemplifies compassion, kindness and generosity towards others.

It is the little things that can keep us from big blessings: a little pride, a little compromise, a little jealousy. Put your old self down and put on the new you: the free you, the blessed you, the happy you, the victorious you.
If you cannot fly, then run. If you cannot run, then walk.
If you cannot walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.
If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
All the circumstances may say it’s impossible. God is asking you, “When did I become weak? Is there any limit to My power?” Get in agreement with God. He’s about to shift some things in your favor.
We are a part of a much larger plan. We can make it easier on those who come after us, or we can make it more difficult. We can give them an advantage, help them have favor, good breaks, or we can be a burden and leave them with nothing to benefit. There’s a generational blessing when you live generously.
This is your time to shine. You’re chosen to set a new standard for your family. You’re chosen to break the cycle of dysfunction. You’re chosen to accomplish that dream God put in your heart. You’re chosen to live a life of excellence and integrity, an abundant, victorious life.
God said in Isaiah, “Even to your old age, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you, and I will carry you.” You never get too old for God to carry you. The fact is, God is carrying you right now, but if you don’t recognize it, you’ll live stressed out. You’re in your Father’s arms.
