Power of Your Words
Criticizing yourself is just as wrong as being critical of other people. Speak positive words over your life and the lives of others.
I don’t think we fully understand the power of our words. The Bible is full of verses about the power of the spoken word. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. That is why critical words are so deadly; whether we speak them toward ourselves or others. There is an old saying, “If you don’t have something good to say about someone, then don’t say anything at all.” There is a lot of truth in that. Today make it a point to begin speaking positive, encouraging, life filled, hope filled, and love filled words towards yourself and others. Be a breath of fresh air when you speak; and I don’t just mean your breath, but the power of your words. Your words of encouragement and hope may make the difference in someone’s life today. Take every advantage to speak hope, love and life to everyone you talk to today! Your words do make a difference!

Your Finest Hour
Difficult times in life are tough; financial struggles, sickness, or troubled relationships. Discouragement can set in quickly if we aren’t careful. Lift up your head today and be filled with hope.
There always seems to be something going on in our life that can discourage us. We have to make the decision not to be discouraged. Know that this season will pass soon. We have the power within to stand strong and not give up. Be filled with hope today. I speak encouragement to you right now! Stand on the truth about you and your life, not the facts. Despite with the doctor says, the bank says, the school says, or the job says; you are a person of destiny and purpose. Your greatest days are right in front of you. The situation you are going through right this moment will be your signature. You have what it takes to turn this into your breakthrough. You will walk with others and encourage them; when they are going through a similar season in life. Choose today to be the victor and not the victim. This is your finest hour!

Learning From Victories
The situation you’re facing right now is either dangerous or valuable. It’s either going to defeat you or give you the chance to learn more about victory than ever before.
It is often said that we learn more from our defeats than we do our victories. I suppose there is some truth in that, but if we choose to, we can learn valuable lessons from our victories as well. Every day we are faced with situations that test our limits in many areas. These situations will indeed make or break us. We find out what we are made out of during these tests. There are days we do awesome and days when we don’t do so awesome. The key is to have more awesome days than not so awesome days. The hidden ingredient, if you will, is this; we choose whether or not we have awesome days or not. No one can make that decision for us, unless we give them the power to do so. I challenge you today, to make this an awesome day. Make this the greatest day of your life! Learn more about the victory inside of you today!

Power of Love
My desire is for God to reshape, rebuild & remold my personality according to His love for me.
There is no power any greater than the power of love. Huey Lewis even wrote a song about the power of love. I have given myself to the fact that I can accomplish nothing of value if it is not centered in and on love. Nothing we do for our family, each other, or ourselves will last if it is not done in love. If we have any agenda or motive that is not build not the foundation of love; then forget about it. The love we are talking about here does not waver, does not end, does not depend on how you act. This love is forgiving, hope giving, encouraging, and inspiring. There is nothing can stop this kind of love. It may be easy for you to live in this kind of love, but I am learning it is not always easy. However, life is not worth living if it is not lived with this love being the reason for living it. Make today the day you see through eyes of love and not through eyes of self. Love is the key to joy, peace, and hope. Love is the foundation answer to every situation you face.

Right On!
When God laid out the plan for your life, He lined up the right people, the right circumstances, and the right breaks. In your future, He’s already released favor, supernatural opportunities, and divine connections.
The good breaks you need have already been preordained to come across your path. If you will stay in faith and go out each day and be a person of excellence, you’ll have times where it’s as if you just stumbled into God’s blessings. You’ll look back and think, “How did I get to where I am? I’m not the most qualified, but I got the promotion. I didn’t deserve that break, but someone went out of their way to help me.” What happened? You walked into that favor that was already poured out on your path. Today, no matter what you may be facing, focus on moving forward. He has already ordered your steps and arranged good things for you. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep hoping because there is favor in store for your future!

Truth About Your Destiny
People don’t determine your destiny; God does. Don’t get caught up in the negativity around you. Instead, trust God and charge forward to His great destiny for you!
From the economy to your personal life; there is so much negativity around you. We can easily get caught in the negative thinking and lose sight of our destiny. By only listening to the facts we can lose sight of the truth. Facts can look so truthful but truth is truth no matter what. God is truth and He has set before us great destiny. Get focused on the truth about your life today. Know that God is for us not against us. He has a plan for you and it’s based on truth not fact. Be positive about your life. No more negative mindsets. You do have a purpose and destiny that is so awesome!

Look Here Now
Having the right perspective in life will lead you to your destiny. Check your perspective & make sure you’re focused on the right thing.
When we get our focus off line we will miss the mark; our destiny. When our perspective is all the negative things going on in and around our life we will not have a positive influence on others. It just takes a small adjustment in our perspective to make things line up in our destiny. When we have a disagreement with someone; take the time to look at it from their perspective. A minor, small change in perspective can lead to major, large change in your life. When we think we have it bad, just look at it from someone who has it worse than you do. Perspective is a major key in reaching your goals and destiny. Take a look at the way you look at things today.

The Right Perspective
It is often easy to see the best in others, but it is also important to start seeing the best in yourself. You were, after all, created in the image of God.
Most people are there own worse critic. We see everything that is wrong with ourselves. It is time that we start to develop a healthy, Godly self-image. It is time we start to see ourselves the way He sees us. When we see ourselves as not good enough, not pretty or handsome, not smart, not talented, then we are saying that God made a mistake when He created us. This is not true. You were not a mistake. You do have what it takes to accomplish your destiny. When we have the right perspective of ourselves, then others too will have the right perspective of us. It is time we see ourselves the right way. Today is a great day in your life!

Difficult Times
We all deal with unexpected situations in life. No one is exempt. However, for those that have faith; they will come out on top. Faith is the equalizer.
We are all going to deal with difficult situations during life. You may be dealing with a hard case right now. No one is excluded from crisis and tough times. Our faith though is the great equalizer. Faith gives us the advantage in tough times. When you believe that this situation will make you better and stronger then you will prevail. God will not allow stuff to hit you for no reason. He isn’t just playing with us. Difficult days will always be with us, but we know we have more than enough to overcome them. No more fear and doubt, but all faith. Faith gives us the way through.
