E129-Confidence in Your Faith 6:13

4+ y ago6:13

6:13

“Being confident in your Faith ... will help keep your perspectives from becoming clouded.” When you stride in confidence of your faith, you become a “soldier of the light!” Spiritual boldness develops over time from learning and practicing on becoming “God dependent!” There are so many daily events and obstacles that try to cloud your way. My advi…

7:42

“Prayers and goals ... make them very specific and stay focused.” There are times in life when you may ask yourself, “why am I still where I was at a year ago and have not advanced very much?” If this is something you have thought about before then it may be the right time in your life to make your prayers and goals very specific.

E127-Self Worth 9:01

4+ y ago9:01

9:01

“Self-worth comes from God.” Our core of self-worth should be tied to Jesus so that mortals cannot define us. God always listens to us whereas mortals do not.

13:15

“Some things don’t matter and other things matter a lot; praying about the difference is gold.” Have you ever noticed that as we mature in life, some things seem smaller than they used to be and just do not matter anymore?

15:09

“Give your God-given gifts maximum attention.” God showers each and every one of us with talents. Some people do not tap into or utilize their natural talents.

43:16

“If you or someone you know has a doctor that does not believe in God, pray for that doctor and RUN in the opposite direction.” Decades ago, there seemed to be only two types of doctors, one that writes prescriptions and the other that performs surgery. There are certainly going to be times when you require medicine and/or surgery. In most, but not…

E122-Forgiveness 18:24

5y ago18:24

18:24

“Forgiveness ... is a great education for your heart.” When we forgive others, the wisdom of our heart is shining above everything else. There are many instances where forgiveness would not occur so quickly, or even at all, if it were up to our logical minds. We have a tendency to rationalize everything, especially when we feel someone has wronged …

“Praying about your thoughts ... will change what you think.” There are so many people that walk around with negative thoughts in their mind.

Actually, it is difficult for me to even write the word “negative.” Another word t…

E116-It's Just Business 9:28

9:28

“It’s just business!” “It’s just business” is a phrase which people tend to skirt behind when they are really saying that they have no problem taking advantage of you or someone else.

"The Universe Hears Everything!" I certainly believe in the power of prayer and the law of attraction. Have you ever noticed that the universe hears everything?
