"Things that don’t change eventually die. The ability to change is one of the greatest privileges we have as human beings, and it is a gift from God. It is part of the way He matures us, brings us fulfillment in life, and moves us forward into His unfolding plans for us. I encourage you to believe that change can happen in your life."
From Joyce's new book, The Courage to Change: https://t.co/A27oJ6nJBs
People will try to define you into becoming the version of how they see you. The problem is they can’t see the greatness God put in you. They can’t see the gifts and talents. They’ll try to limit you to what they see right now, but they’re not seeing the full you.
God will break the rules to get you to your destiny. He’ll break protocol. He’ll do things that are unusual: heal you without the treatment, promote you when you weren’t next in line. He'll do something you weren’t expecting to release you into your purpose.
God is going to show up and do what you never saw coming. He'll do something that amazes you, something that catapults you into a new level of your destiny, to where you can do what you never thought you could do.
When life throws you a curve, don’t get bitter. Keep doing the right thing. Keep a good attitude, being good to people, praising when you could be complaining. There’s another chapter. A chapter of victory, a chapter of joy, a chapter of beauty for those ashes.
Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. - Acts 2:38
The enemy will whisper, “You’ll never be happy again.” Can I encourage you: it’s going to be just the opposite. You will love again. You will laugh again. You will dream again.
The devil tries to get you to worry about the future so you can't focus on the joy in your life right now.
Enjoy every minute, because life is a gift from God!
Keep shining despite who’s not for you. Keep being your best despite who doesn’t give you the credit. You’re not working unto people; you’re working unto God. He's keeping the records. You don’t need their approval. You have Almighty God’s approval.
