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.

Take Off the Coat of Unforgiveness
Take off the coat of unforgiveness today. Release all the harsh feelings toward others and towards yourself.
There have been libraries of books and blogs written about forgiveness. Yet it is one of the major issues in people’s lives today. Holding unforgiveness in your heart will not hurt anyone but you. The person you need to forgive will not be affected. You are the one that is being poisoned while waiting for the other person to drop dead. They are living their life without a care, while you are frustrated, angry, mad and stressed out because of the unforgiveness you have boiling inside you. Release it today, release the poison today. Take off the coat of unforgiveness and never pick it back up again. Experience the freedom that comes from living forgiveness free. Become a giver of forgiveness. Give it away everyday and see your physical body react positively, your mind clear up and your spirit lifted.

Finding Balance
We have either seen or been the person that walks into a room full of people seemingly having it all together. Others in the room think we are arrogant, but we know we are struggling to be accepted.
Insecurities are present in all of us. Some have overcome a lot of their issues and are doing much better now. However, many are still smothered under the weight of their insecurities. When that person walks into a room and acts like they are just find and have all their ducks in row, don’t be so quick to judge them. Why think someone is conceded when they do appear to have their life in order? It is because we have insecurities that change our perspective. We are thinking arrogance, they are thinking just want to be accepted. There is a balance that we need to reach. Don’t just assume that because someone seems to have their life in order that they are arrogant. Make them feel safe with you, make them see that they don’t have to act any certain way to be accepted. When we do this, we then can challenge them to grow and mature into the gift that they have been given

Fast Forward
One thing I’ve learned is that God doesn’t always work on our timetable. In fact, He rarely does.
But in a single moment, God can change your life! All through the Bible, we see examples of how God was working behind the scenes and instantly turned things around for His people. The Bible tells us He is the same yesterday, today and forever which means He can instantly turn things around for you, too! You may be going through some difficulty today, but be encouraged because your times are in God’s hands. He wants to accelerate things in your favor. He wants to take you further than you dreamed possible and work in your life in ways beyond what you have ever imagined. Let this truth sink down into your heart today. Resist discouragement by speaking His Word over your future. Keep standing. Keep hoping; keep believing because He is working behind the scenes. He’s going to accelerate your times and lead you into the life of victory He has for you!
