There are no limits on what you can achieve with your life, except the limits you accept in your own mind.
God places no limits on what you can achieve - why do you? Think big, dream big and achieve big! With God all things are possible.
Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so, little ones to him belong, they are weak but He is strong.
Little or big, weak or strong, we all need the love of Christ in our lives. To find His love, we simply need to look to the Bible. Pick yours up today and read one of the many passages that express to us Christ’s love.
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:39
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found was blind, but now I see.
As Christians, we should have a new vision of the world. Instead of being blind, look around for children of God in need of your help. Let someone in need find God in you.
He replied, “If he is a sinner, I do not know. One thing I do know is that I was blind and now I see.”
John 9:25
Mercy for me - justice for everyone else: Our human reaction to the “unfairness” of God.
Yes, it does seem unfair that God loves everyone, even the “worst” of sinners, but he asks us to do the same. The next time you feel the need to judge someone for some wrong you feel they have committed, have a heart like Jesus. Extend your love to them and thank God that He does the same with you.
And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world.
John 12:47
What do I own, and what owns me?
In today's uncertain financial time, take a few minutes and think about what you have been worrying about in the past few weeks. Was it people, or was it "things"? Don't let the "things" you own create anxiety within you. Focus today on building more equity in the relationships that have value in your life.
Treasure in Heaven. “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be. The Light of the Body.
Matthew 6:19-21
People of character do the right thing, not because they think it will change the world but because they refuse to be changed by the world.
We are constantly exposed to negative influences in today's world but we do not have to be changed by them. Turn to God for the strength to resist worldly temptations whenever they arise.
Now who is going to harm you if you are enthusiastic for what is good? But even if you should suffer because of righteousness, blessed are you. Do not be afraid or terrified with fear of them, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope,
1 Peter 3:13-15
You are in the people business, no matter what you do or where you do it.
We are all in the people business - and God created all the people. Treat them all with the respect and dignity a creation of God deserves.
Contribute to the needs of the holy ones, exercise hospitality.
Romans 12:13
It is impossible to praise or thank God too much.
When you thank God for the many pleasures He provides, you affirm Him as your Lord from whom all blessings flow. When adversity strikes and you thank Him anyway, you show that you trust in His sovereignty. Fill up the spare moments of your life today with praise and thanksgiving.

About Money: 5 of 5 - With money you can buy blood, but not life.
Your life is a gift from God and it is not measured by the number of breaths you take, rather by the number of moments that take your breath away. Ask God for the courage to get your heart pumping today by doing something exciting, rewarding, memorable and honorable to Him.
Let your life be free from love of money but be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never forsake you or abandon you.”
Hebrews 13:5
About Money: 4 of 5 - With money you can buy a position, but not respect.

About Money: 3 of 5 - With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep.
A good night’s rest is best accomplished by going to bed with heavy legs exhausted from hard work serving others and a light heart knowing your conscience won’t keep you awake. Ask God for the will and the energy to overcome today’s challenges and the self-respect to do what is right.
For the love of money is the root of all evils, and some people in their desire for it have strayed from the faith and have pierced themselves with many pains. Exhortations to Timothy.
1 Timothy 6:10
About Money: 2 of 5 - With money you can buy a clock, but not time.

[Or] am I not free to do as I wish with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?’
Matthew 20:15
About Money: 1 of 5 - With money you can buy a house, but not a home.
It does not matter how big your TV is…What matters is how many people are gathered around it to share good times. Ask God for the wisdom to spend more time building strong family traditions rather large room additions.
Tend the flock of God in your midst, [overseeing] not by constraint but willingly, as God would have it, not for shameful profit but eagerly.
1 Peter 5:2
If you have nothing to lose by trying and everything to gain if successful, by all means, try.

Obedience. Therefore, gird up the loins of your mind, live soberly, and set your hopes completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 1:13
I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather have one walk beside me than merely point the way.

In their actions even children can playact though their deeds be blameless and right.

Let's see if we can start an epidemic. Thank everyone you see today and make sure they know they are appreciated. There's aways room for a compliment, and everyone has done something to deserve a "Thank You" today.
So, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in him, rooted in him and built upon him and established in the faith as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

You pile up enough tomorrows, and you'll find you've collected a lot of empty yesterdays.
