Hope
Hope is one of the key, critical and more vital things we need to hold on to in our life. Without hope we are certain to give up during the tough times.
When you don’t give up on hope; then hope won’t give up on you. Hope isn’t necessarily something you can reach out and touch, but oh it is there. People have been able to survive some horrendous situations because they never lost hope. Hope will make you much stronger than you ever thought you could be. There is nothing that can replace hope in your mind and heart. It comes through physically too. You may be facing a situation right now and thinking to yourself; “There is no hope.” Stop right there, there is hope. As long as you are alive there is hope. Never give up on hope. Hope will be there for you when you need it the most. Today, do a hope check and make sure you have hope. Watch it see you through that situation like nothing else can.

Let It Go
Are you determined to forget what lies behind? I know many people don’t fully understand what it means to forget the past. They wonder, “How can I forget something that’s happened to me?” But one definition of the word forget is to disregard intentionally or to overlook. See, you have to intentionally disregard your past so that it doesn’t keep you from moving forward. That means the good and the bad. Sometimes our past victories keep us from rising higher as much as past failures. If we don’t let go of the old, we’ll never be able to embrace the new.
Remember, it doesn’t matter what’s happened in your history, it’s time to forget what lies behind. Make the choice today to press forward. Trust that God has a better future in store for you. Trust that He’s working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you intentionally disregard what lies behind and press forward, I believe God will pour out His favor, grace and blessing upon you and lead you into the abundance He has prepared for you.

You Are the Difference
Don’t give up; don’t quit. We are one week into the new year and already many people have already thrown in the towel.
You may not have been as consistent as you would like in the past years; even in the past week. However, that does not mean you should give up on your goals and especially not on yourself. You can make a difference in the world today. Look around and you will see hurting, discouraged, hopeless, unloved people walking around acting if all was fine. You can make a major difference in right where you are today. You don’t have to be on TV, radio, the newspaper, or any major platform. Just take the time to notice the people that you interact with each day. There are thousands of people that just need a little inspiration, encouragement, motivation, and love injected into their life. Show the love that inside of you, show the grace, the mercy, the hope that you contain. No matter how it looks in your life you still have the gift that you were born with and it’s still valuable. Today is the day to make a difference.

Wasted
I know people who feel like they’ve wasted years of their lives because of poor choices. They spent years in a relationship that was toxic, years with an addiction, years at a job where they weren’t fulfilled. But you have to realize, nothing you have been through is ever wasted. Your past experiences, good and bad have deposited something on the inside of you. Those challenges have sharpened you to help make you who you are today. When the enemy brings hardship into your life, God has a way of taking that experience and turning it around for your advantage. You may think you’ve hit a dead end, but if you’ll stay in faith, you will see God begin to open up a new route. He’ll put the right people in your path, the right opportunities, the right circumstances to move you forward toward your God-given destiny. Don’t focus on what’s happened in your past, focus on what God will do in your future. He wants to restore your soul and revive your dreams. Keep believing, keep expecting, keep hoping because God has a new route for your future!

Push Forward
Life is full of things that try to push us down. We all face disappointments and setbacks. Maybe you received some bad news about your health or perhaps a relationship didn’t work out. That was a setback.
It’s easy to get discouraged or lose your enthusiasm or even be tempted to just settle where you are. Bif we’re going to see God’s best, we have to have a “bounce back” mentality. That means when you get knocked down, you don’t stay down. You get back up again. You have to know that every time adversity comes against you, it’s a setup for a comeback! There is no challenge too difficult, no obstacle too high, no sickness, no disappointment, no person, nothing that can keep you from your God-given destiny. If you stay in faith, then God will turn what was meant to be a stumbling block into a stepping stone, and you’ll move forward in strength, full of faith and victory!

Gift Idea
People who always seem to be frustrated, angry, upset, blaming others, and just in a bad mood more than likely have forgiveness issues.
When we carry around unforgiveness in our heart, it will make us bitter, resentful and just plain mean. Unforgiveness will eat at you from the inside out. There is not anything worse than a person carrying around a heart full of unforgiveness. They seem to be mad at the world. Nothing ever goes their way, everyone is out to get them and so on. It is only when we forgive others and ourselves that we can have the peace, joy, love and happiness that we all so desperately desire. When we can unload the unforgiveness it will give you the peace and hope. This Christmas give yourself the give that will be a blessing to you and those around you; give forgiveness. Whether or not they ask for it or even care if you do forgive them. Forgive everyone that has ever wronged you! Do it today! Today being my birthday I am giving the gift of forgiveness. I can already tell a difference.

Not Necessary
It’s not necessary to tell a starving man he is hungry. It’s not necessary to tell a dehydrated man he is thirsty. So why must we tell people of their faults, mistakes, issues, and sins?
People know when they are doing wrong and the wrong they have done in their life. We all know the mistakes we have made, the sins in our life and the issues we face everyday. Having people throw that in our face is not going to help. Judging and condemning is not going to help. On the other hand, offering encouragement, hope, forgiveness, a shoulder to lean on can make a difference. Understanding where someone is, is not condoning what they are doing or agreeing with what they are doing. Offer people a peace of mind not a piece of your mind. We all have those areas that we need help in. Be an encourager today. Don’t tell them all the wrong stuff in their life, give them hope and build on the right stuff. Make a positive difference today!

Stife
Get the strife out of your life right now! A home, marriage, business, relationship, or team can’t stand if they are divided. Get the truth and love in there today!
It has been many different ways; ‘that a house divided will fall.’ This is the case in many different types of houses. The strife or division can be in us. If we are not doing what we were put here to do; then there is division inside of us. We are divided in our heart. There is division or strife in our minds and even in our bodies. Any time we are not lined up with our destiny and purpose then there is some division in us. To eliminate division from your life know the truth and love today. Without truth and love operating in our life each day, we are going to have division. How do we get the division and strife out of our life? We put in truth and love. Truth and love will drive out division. When we have perfected love in us, then we won’t have strife. Perfect love eliminates strive. Begin replace division and strive with truth and love today. See your home, marriage, relationships, team and business go new levels. Today is your greatest day ever!

Looking Ahead
It’s easy to get stuck in a rut and go year after year coasting on auto-pilot, expecting the same thing, same problems, same income, same everything. But it’s time to start expecting something new for 2012.
Our God is a God of increase. That means as a child of God we shouldn’t be at the same level in 2012 as we were in 2011. We should be increasing. It all starts with what you are expecting. Are you expecting God’s favor in your life for 2012? It’s time to believe for increase. Let go of little dreams, little goals, and little plans because God is a surpassing God; He does exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what we could ever ask; imagine or think. Be encouraged and inspired to rise up higher in 2012. Remember, those whose hope is in the Lord will not be disappointed. Your best days are right around the corner.
