What Does Love Say
What does love require of you? When you are faced with a difficult situation; what does love say you should do?
Jesus left us with one thing we should do above all else; love one another just as you do yourself. We have all kinds of religions, denominations, factions and so on, but if we loved one another like we do ourselves there would be a lot fewer of these. There would be a lot of changes in the world as we see it. When that person confronts you and treats you in a not so nice way, love them like Jesus said love them. When someone hurts you deeply, love them. When they take from you, love them. When they betray you, love them. I think you get the point. The Bible doesn’t say to pick and choose who and when you are to love. We are to love everyone, all the time. Impossible? Not at all. It is simply putting aside your own agenda. Act in a way that Jesus has told us. If He said to do it, then we have what it takes to do it. Make love your top priority today and everyday.

A Plan for You
God’s love for you is not dependent on your performance or how good you are. He loves you unconditionally.
We all make mistakes. However, God still has a plan for your life, an awesome, wonderful plan. Don’t let shame and guilt keep you from receiving God’s love anymore. Move toward God’s grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love today. You may have made some mistakes and wrong choices in your life. God still believes in you. He still has some incredible lined up for you. Your future is looking better and better, but you have to see it for yourself. Keep your heart clean and clear toward God. Stay in a receiving mode and God will show Himself strong in your life.

It’s Not Too Late
“I’m late for a very important date,” White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. He was late, but it’s not too late for you.
You may feel like you have wasted your life away and it’s too late for you to have an impact on others. It’s not too late. Your time is now, today. You may have not have used every day as well as you should, but none of us have. Get up and get going today. You still have breath, you still have time. The plan for your life is still as intact as it was the day you were born. You still have time to make a difference in someone’s life. You still have a chance to impact the world around you. Don’t let another day pass you by. Take advantage of today to get in the game. There will never be another day like today. There will never be another person like you. You were created for a time such as this. There are people that need your encouragement, your inspiration and motivation. Get active today in your destiny. This is your day, your time.

Storm Chasers Podcast/Blog
Everyone faces the storms of life. Sometimes we have the faith to be delivered from the storms instantly; sometimes we have the faith to walk through the storms.
No matter which route you take, you can be sure that God is right there with you. He will equip you and sustain you. He will give you the grace, the supernatural empowerment, to make it through. Maybe you are facing a storm and can’t quite see a way out. Maybe you’re not sure what the answer is. All you have to do is take it one step at a time by saying, “God, I know You have a good plan for my future.” “God, I am doing better today than I was yesterday.” “God, I know You are leading and guiding me.” With every step you take, know that God is doing a work in your life. Know that He is with you, and He will comfort you. Keep moving forward. Keep taking those steps of faith and keep walking through the storm into the place of victory He has prepared for you!

Time Keeps on Slippin
Time is the most valuable commodity that we have in life. It’s more valuable than money. You can make more money, but you can’t make more time.
When you woke up this morning, God gave you a present called “today.” And with that gift comes a responsibility. The Scripture tells us to redeem the time, to make the most of every opportunity. That simply means don’t let it go to waste. Don’t live this day unfocused, unhappy, negative or defeated. Make the most of every day. God has entrusted you with His life. He has breathed His very breath into you. He has put gifts and talents on the inside of you. You have seeds of greatness deposited in you. You’re a person of destiny, and you have an assignment and a purpose to fulfill! I encourage you today to evaluate how you are spending your time. Refocus your life. Let go of any distractions. Shake off any self-pity, any discouragement, any disappointments of the past and run your race with purpose. Be careful how you live and redeem the time so that you can fulfill the destiny He has prepared for you.

Get in the Program
No matter what may be happening today, God has good things in store for your future! It may not be easy to see now, but God has already lined up a new beginning, new friendships and new opportunities for you.
Maybe you’ve experienced some setbacks, but don’t make the mistake of expecting the same for your future. Instead, accept God’s good plan for your life by declaring His truth. As believers, our attitude should be, “Even though the economy is down, I’m not worried. I know God is going before me, and He has promised He will make rivers in the desert.” Or, “The medical report may not look good, but I have another report that says God is restoring health unto me. I believe God has already released healing, health and victory in my future.” Or, you may have a child who is not on the right course. In the natural, it seems impossible. But our report should be, “I know God can do the impossible!” Be encouraged and don’t give up on your tomorrows. Accept the good plan God has for you — a plan filled with hope, purpose, blessing and increase in every area of your life!
