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.

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.

Remove the Lid
Take the limits off your destiny today. Remove the lid that is holding you back from your best days.
There is a so much God intends for you, but if you put limits and keep the lid on your life; you will never experience His best for you. Many people never really live, they just exist. This is not the way God intends for you to be. He has a perfect plan for you. No matter what it looks like today, get out there and experience His plan for your life. There are no limits, no lid to hold you down. Throw off the old stuff, your negative past and step out into your purpose. You do have a reason for being born. You do have a destiny to fulfill. You certainly do have a purpose for your life. The enemy will try to talk you out of it, but don’t you listen. You will overcome that addiction, that sin, that disorder. Don’t let anyone tell you that; “you can’t,” because, “Yes, you can.” Make a stand today that you will never be the same as you were yesterday. Today and forever you will walk in your destiny.

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
