Your Motives matter so be attentive to your intention.
Examine your heart before you speak. As the Psalmist suggest, ‘let the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart be acceptable in God’s sight.’

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”
― Martin Luther King, Jr.

You gotta value you! Having a low opinion of yourself is not piety or modesty. It’s self-destruction. Appreciating, honoring, and cherishing yourself is a prerequisite to being able to love anyone else.

SPEAK OVER YOUR LIFE. Speak with faith and declare the excellence you desire in your life. Do not settle for okay or good enough.

We know that doubt undermines our faith. It weakens our trust and depletes our peace. Often doubt arises because of an absence of surrender. Every time you doubt the good that you desire will manifest ask yourself what have I not yet surrendered? What am I holding on to that I need to release? Pray and let it go and prepare for your blessing.

Everyday figure out what will make you happy for that day. What makes your heart smile? Then pursue it with goodness, kindness and love and without fear. Only anticipate achieving it and what your heart will feel like when you have been successful.

When you have confidence in yourself you stop worrying about what others think or say. You set your sights on pleasing God and do what you are called to do. This means sometimes you will walk alone, more often with a faithful few and certainly watch some walk away from you. In all things be confident and keep pressing towards the high mark of your calling.

Do not begrudge anyone’s success. Regardless of who they are give no place for resentment or negative thoughts within you. Focus on what God has for you and press towards your destiny. Clear your heart and mind for the light within you to lead you.

Put the events of yesterday in perspective, offer words of thanks to God for your blessings and ask for wisdom to see the possibilities in your challenges. Savor the day that is before you and expect to experience pure joy.

A prosperous life can be measured by our willingness to forgive. It is a sign of spiritual and emotional maturity to do the work of forgiving others and ourselves. There is peace and strength in releasing anger, disappointment and fear that are often part of our resistance to forgive and be forgiven. Lighten your load and forgive.
