Don’t be against yourself. There are so many things going us today, circumstances, people, life seems to be against us most of the time. The last thing you need is to be going against yourself.  It is just as wrong to criticize yourself as it someone else.  You will never break out of the negative cycles you are in if you don’t change your words.  I challenge you today to take five minutes a day to speak positive things over your life.  “I am full of purpose,” I am healthy,” I am a masterpiece,” I am good looking,” “I am beautiful,” “I am loved.”  Start your day by speaking a blessing over your life and see your life change.  There will be work to do, but to be positive and growing, takes work. It is easy to be negative and defeated. You don’t have to do anything to get those results.  Be a blessing speaker today. Little by little you will see your life change for the better. Speak victory not defeat. Your life will move toward your words. Make the decision today to build your life up by speaking what God has said about you. Go to His Word and find the verses that talk about how He feels toward you.  Today can be the first day of the brand new you!

We need to be speaking words of affirmation, encouragement, positive, building up words.  Just listen to those around you and hear what they are saying. Most people today are talking negative, self-depreciating, defeated words.  They are talking about how they will never make it, never get out of debt, never be healthy, never have a good marriage.  Trouble is, that is right where they end up.  Just because you may be in that place right now, don’t talk it, begin to speak words of life into your situation. Say what the Word of God says about your life. Begin to see yourself healed, healthy, in a great marriage, debt free, finishing school, in a great job.  Start to talk about having the life God wants you to have.  Change your words, change your world.  You give life to your faith with what you say.  Today begin blessing your life with your words rather than cursing your life with your words. Rather than complain; start to compliment. You hear every word you say and you believe what you say about you; so make it positive, up lifting words. You will see your life go to a whole new level.  Today is your day; begin speaking life!

Ask the Lord to give you creative ways to encourage those around you. As you sow seeds of encouragement and bring out the best in others, God will send people along your path that will build you up, too. Keep showing kindness so you can move forward into the blessing and freedom He has for you!

Why? Because with God, all things are possible to those that believe.  He can turn a situation completely around in a second.  God is ready and willing. He has healing, restoration, promotion, prosperity, and favor ready to go.  The only problem is we don’t believe it.  God’s power is only activated when we believe.  Do you believe in the incredible greatness of God’s power today? Do you believe that God is able or that He cares.  You may have plenty of reasons to be discouraged and depressed, but God is saying, “If you only believe, you will see My power in new ways.”  Make up your mind.  You’re going to be a believer and not a doubter.  You may not se how it will happen, but that is not your responsibility; your part is to believe.  Right now, behind the scenes, God is arranging things in your favor.  Release your faith and believe.  Note that I didn’t say wish, but believe.  Have faith today in God!

We all know the Golden Rule; every major religion has it in their core beliefs.  Maybe because we are so familiar with the Golden Rule we tend to pass it over too quickly.  When we apply it to every area of our life there is no way we can treat others wrong. When we talk to, treat, respect, and love others like we want to be; would we still be acting the way we are today.  It takes a strong, secure, and humble person to live their live according to this principle.  Make it a point today to enact the Golden Rule in every aspect of your life. You will see remarkable changes immediately.  

What are you doing to stretch yourself? What are you doing to improve your skills? Don’t get trapped into thinking that “good enough” is good enough. You were created for more than just average. Today is a new day, and there are new heights for you to climb. Pursue what you love and keep developing that area of your life. Take a class or find a mentor that will help you live skillfully. As you do, you’ll rise up higher and higher. You will stand before leaders and rulers, and you’ll live the blessed life God has in store for you!

We all have days we wish we had never gotten out of bed.  That is part of living in this world.  The thing is; not to stay down or stay in the bed. We have to get back when have been knocked down.  Find out why we got blindsided and steamrolled.  Once we learn why; then don’t make the same mistake again. Doing the same thing over and over; while expecting to get a different result usually doesn’t work very well.  It’s not the getting knocked down that is the issue, it’s the bouncing back.  Make sure today that you are not still down. Get back up today and start back living out your destiny.  

There are many people today that are dealing with situations in their life right now that has got them thinking they will never finish their destiny.  I encourage you today to keep getting up and moving forward.  God is at work in your life right now. He has a definite plan for you.  He sees all you are going through.  Don’t become bitter or discouraged.  Set your mind on your destiny and keep moving on.  There is nothing that can stop you except you.  There are going to be setbacks along the way but don’t lose hope.  There will days where nothing seems to go right, just know that God’s mercies are new each and every morning.  He loves you and is on your side. God isn’t out to get you, but He wants to bless you and prosper you. Today is your greatest day! Know that you will get through this situation and be a better person because of it.  

Is there someone that you have cut out of your life that you need to go and make things right with today.  Could be a parent, a child, a friend or even your spouse.  There is someone you just thought about. Go to that person and make it right. You may not can do this in person, but find a way to reconcile and restore the relationship today.  Even if they don’t accept your attempt; you know that you tried .  There is nothing more you can do than try to make it right.  Feel the peace, the joy, the refreshed feeling that comes from reconciling and restoring that relationship.  You will be so glad you did. 

God doesn’t want you to live in the past. He wants you to keep growing and moving forward. Make the decision to meditate on His goodness and focus on His promises. Look straight ahead so you can see His blessing and move forward into the life of victory He has promised you!
