Not every friend will inspire you, but you should have one or two that light a fire on the inside—that push you forward. If you only invest in people that are at the same level as you, you’ll get stuck.
If you will put yourself in an environment with friends that challenge and inspire you, with people that push you up, then those seeds will take root, and you will begin to blossom.
Because of the great differences in our ways of thinking, it is inevitable that we have different religions and faiths. Each has its own beauty. And it is much better that we live together on the basis of mutual respect and mutual admiration.
You can have a good seed that’s healthy, strong and full of potential, but if it’s not planted in good soil, it’s not going to become what it was created to be.
When you face difficulties, more than ever, you need to keep your mind filled with thoughts of faith, surround yourself with people that will speak life and hope, people that will agree with what you’re believing for.
You’ll never give God something that He won’t give you more back in return. God sees the sacrifice. He sees what it took to get here. Every time you obey, there’s a blessing that follows.
God doesn’t waste anything. It’s all a part of the process. The difficulties, the delays, the unfair situations, if we keep the right attitude, it’s working for our good.
It’s a season of silence, not a lifetime of silence. What God has spoken over you has an appointed time to come to pass. Don’t get discouraged, the silence is temporary.
