Happiness doesn’t automatically happen. It’s a choice we have to make. You can’t wait to see what kind of day it’s going to be; you have to decide what kind of day it’s going to be.
If God was introducing you today, he would say, “Here’s a mighty warrior. Here’s a highly favored person. Here’s a masterpiece, strong, confident, successful, a world-changer, a history-maker.” Don’t let the weakness become your identity. Let your purpose become your identity.

God sees what’s limiting you. He knows the secret struggles, the things you’ve tried to overcome, you want to change but haven’t been able to. He’s going to step in and help you do what you couldn’t do.

You don’t have to go through life hiding, pretending, feeling bad about yourself. God knows what you’re dealing with. He sees the tears behind the smile, the strength beneath the weight, the courage despite the fear. That’s not how your story ends. Healing is coming.
Before God will trust you with greater levels, He’ll put you in these situations to see what you do. When you could embarrass someone, will you bless them? When you could expose them, will you cover them? When you could push them down, will you show mercy and lift them? These are tests we all have to pass to reach our destiny.
God sees you trusting when nothing is changing, praising even though the problem is not turning around, being obedient even though doors aren’t opening. Your time is coming. You may not see anything happening, but God is working behind the scenes. Don’t be fooled by a lack of evidence. You’re right where you’re supposed to be. Faith is the evidence of things not seen.
You can’t control what people do. If they want to be offensive, rude, hard to get along with, that’s their choice. But you can control how you respond. Keep your heart pure. Save your emotional energy to live this day to the fullest, to pursue your dreams, to love your family, to be good to your neighbors.
God never brings things to an end without having something better coming, something more rewarding, more fulfilling: new relationships, new passions, new dreams, new mountains to climb.

Too cool man. @bigsainted did a cover of my version of Sounds of Blackness’ “Optimistic” and they KILLED it 🔥
I remade it for @AppleMusic ‘s Juneteenth Freedom Songs campaign
Wow.
American Idol featured Christian artist CeCe Winans praising Jesus on national TV, singing “Come, Jesus, Come.”
Culture is shifting.
Jesus is Lord. ✝️
God sees what you’ve lost, who wasn’t for you, what wasn’t fair. He knows what’s happening. If you’ll move forward in faith, the right people will come looking for you, opportunity will track you down.
God won’t give you the opportunity without giving you the grace to do it. When you feel that urging, whether it’s to break a bad habit or step into something new, don’t delay—the window of grace will eventually close if you keep putting it off.

It’s easy to lose our passion in life when we’ve gone through disappointments, dreams are taking longer than we thought, dealing with challenges. But Paul said in Romans, “Be glad for all God is planning for you.” That’s your faith at work.
God will put you in situations, on purpose, where the odds are against you so He can show out in your life. It’s not there to stop you; it’s a setup for God to make you an example of His goodness. He will never let you get into a problem that He can’t bring you out of.
