There are capabilities you have that you don’t yet know you have. Meaningful challenges will awaken those capabilities and get them working for you. It is in the effort that you fully develop the ability to successfully make that effort. The way to know what you can do, is to do. Go ahead. Get started, and as you go forward you’ll get better. As you go forward, your skills, your knowledge, and your effectiveness will grow continually stronger. In your commitment to take on the challenges, you’ll find everything necessary to successfully meet those challenges. Set your goals based not on what you know you can do. Set your goals based on what you’re most passionate about. Choose to do what you know, at your very core, you must do. The abilities you awaken will add value to every corner of your life.

So many people today are living with less than God’s best because they’ve allowed fear to stop them from pursuing their dreams. We have to remember that fear is not from God. It’s a lie from the enemy to paralyze us and steal our power.

My Bible Promise to You…

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline”
(II Timothy 1:7, NLT)

God promises you new mercies each morning. That means even though you may have done something last week that you’re not proud of, you don’t have to carry that around with you. You simply need to receive God’s mercy and forgiveness today and go on.

Dream a new dream. God still has great things in store for you. But you have to do your part and keep pursuing it. Keep believing for God’s best. Don’t settle for second best, not good enough, or barely getting by. God wants to give you the very best for the brightest future you could possibly imagine!

My Bible Promise to You…

“The Lord’s compassions never fail. They are new every morning.” (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Too many people today spend their days looking in the rearview mirror of their lives. You don’t have to deny that painful things have happened to you. If you have lost a job, been mistreated, or had a loved one die, those are real hurts.

What we are saying is that you need to leave those things in the past and move on. If you carry those disappointments around with you, you are going to start each day telling yourself, “God couldn’t possibly have anything good for me today because of what happened yesterday.”

You have to let go of any shattered dreams, quit dwelling on any disappointments, and forgive the people who have hurt you. Release all that bitterness – God promises to give you a new beginning!

My Bible Promise to You…

“He has sent me . . . to comfort all who mourn . . . to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes.” (Isaiah 61:1-3

Do you want to be set free from bitterness and resentment? All you need to do is keep your heart pure and start each day by letting go of the baggage of the past. Don’t try to collect a debt from others that only God can pay. If you’ll leave it up to Him, God will return to you more than what you have lost.

God is on your side! He wants you to feel good about yourself and have a positive vision for your life. After all, God knows when you have a heart to please Him. And as you continue to please Him, you’ll experience that life of victory He has in store for you.

My Bible Promise to You…

“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten.” (Joel 2:25

If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on it! He could have lived anywhere in the universe, but He chose to live in your heart. You are His most prized possession, and He has an unbelievable future planned for you.

God wants you to be free today. He is asking you to forget the past and start fresh with Him today. Stop beating yourself up over your past mistakes. Quit thinking that you don’t deserve anything good. You are a child of the Most High God. So start living today, and begin seeing yourself the way God sees you, like the champion He created you to be.

My Bible Promise to You…

“‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” (Jeremiah 29:11)

Do you wake up every morning expecting favor and blessing on everything you do? Do you plan for what is good? When we plan for what is good, the scripture tells us that we find love. The scripture also tells us that God is love. So, when you plan for what is good, you will find God in the midst of your plans.

I encourage you today; don’t let the negative voices of the world or other people in your life get you focused in the wrong direction. It doesn’t matter what is happening around you, God’s plan is always for your good. Remember, you and God are a majority.

My Bible Promise to You…

“…those who plan what is good find love and faithfulness”
(Proverbs 14:22, NIV)

I believe that God has planted seeds of greatness on the inside of every one of us. We all have dreams and desires, things we want to accomplish; things we want to see changed. But so many times, life has a way of stealing our dreams. We go through disappointments, face adversity, things don’t turn out as we would like. Too often, we just end up settling for second best. But God doesn’t want us to settle for second best. He wants us to be determined, press on, and pursue the greatness that’s on the inside. We should never let “good enough” be good enough!

My Bible Promise to You…

“For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you…”
(II Timothy 1:6, NIV).

God is in the multiplication business. It doesn’t matter what your need is today, God wants to increase you.

One time in the Old Testament, God simply multiplied the sound of four men’s footsteps and caused them to sound like a mighty army. When their enemies heard them coming, they took off running. Thousands of people, thousands of troops running for their lives, scared to death, thinking they were being attacked by a massive army, when in fact, it was just four people.

Friend, God can make you seem bigger than you really are. He can make you look more powerful. He knows how to multiply your influence, your strength, your talent. He can multiply your income or whatever else you need! You don’t have to figure it all out. All you have to do is believe. If you will release your faith and get up every day expecting God’s far and beyond favor, then you’re going to see God show up and do amazing things. He’ll bless you beyond your wildest dreams and multiply you in every area of your life!

“And I will make My covenant (solemn pledge) between Me and you and will multiply you exceedingly”
(Genesis 17:2, AMP)

Is your heart of compassion open? Do you take time to make a difference in others? God has given you a heart of compassion, but you must decide to keep it open and allow the love of God to flow through you to those around you.

In order to experience God’s abundant life, you must keep your focus on helping other people. Don’t allow the enemy to keep you so busy that you overlook the needs of those around you. Make a decision to show God’s love and goodness wherever you go. Be on the lookout for people you can bless.

Go out of your way to show God’s compassion, and as you do, you will discover the champion in you!

My Bible Promise To You…

“If anyone sees his brother in need yet closes his heart of compassion, how can the love of God be in him?” (John 3:17)
