Frame all of your daily worries with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"
It's too easy to get consumed with daily worries. Make your decisions and move on. If you are living and deciding as Christ commands, then leave the results to Him.
Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.
Philippians 4:6
When God paints, He uses unspoiled whites full of all the purity and hope of the Heavens where He reigns.
Live your life each day with the purity and hope that awaits you in Heaven. Do this and you will surely set a good example for others to follow on their journey.
Let no one have contempt for your youth, but set an example for those who believe, in speech, conduct, love, faith, and purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
Live your faith. It is a way to achieve immortality.
Your legacy will be defined by your actions. Share your faith and knowledge with others so that Christ can be glorified through you.
May my teaching soak in like the rain, and my utterance drench like the dew, Like a downpour upon the grass, like a shower upon the crops.
Deuteronomy 32:2
The best cosmetic in the world is an active mind that is always finding something new.
Don't focus on improving the superficial elements in your life. Rather, spend time doing a facelift of things that really matter. Start with your faith, your friends and your family.
The wise by hearing them will advance in learning, the intelligent will gain sound guidance,
Proverbs 1:5
Those who dance are often considered insane by those who cannot hear the music.
Dance the tune of your faith to everyone you encounter. Let those deaf to the Word of God be transformed by your insanity. Pray that the Holy Spirit spins His music for them.
Anyone who is so “progressive” as not to remain in the teaching of the Christ does not have God; whoever remains in the teaching has the Father and the Son.
2 John 1:9
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect. My flaws are visible, but God believes I am worth it.
Go forward today with hope, knowing that God loves you – flaws and all. He doesn’t expect you to be perfect, in fact, He expects you NOT to be perfect. That is why He sent His Son to be your savior.
On the one hand, a former commandment is annulled because of its weakness and uselessness, for the law brought nothing to perfection; on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
Hebrews 7:18-19
Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.
Bring sunshine to at least one person’s day today. Reflect on how that made you feel. Thank God for the opportunities to spread His sunshine.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,
Colossians 3:12
When I say... "I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a simple sinner who received God's good grace, somehow.
Take a moment right now to pause, read the bible verse below and just say, “Lord I receive Your grace today.” Thank Him for this ever-present gift.
Fulfillment Through Christ. In him we have redemption by his blood, the forgiveness of transgressions, in accord with the riches of his grace
Ephesians 1:7
I dreamt and life was joy. I awoke and life was service. I acted and service was joy!
We all have experienced the joy of giving, and it has often been said that you get more out of giving than receiving. Wake up today and start looking for ways to serve others, then ACT ON IT IMMEDIATELY. It will change your life!
Consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7
Your friends are like elevator buttons…they can either take you up or down.
What buttons have you been choosing lately? As you make your decisions each day on what buttons to push, make sure you are riding with God at your side. He will make sure you end up on the right floor.
Do not be led astray: “Bad company corrupts good morals.”
1 Corinthians 15:33
Great ambition and conquest without contribution is without significance.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having lofty personal goals. Just be sure your goals embody your Christian values and your personal accomplishments provide some level of contribution to the well-being of those around you. Otherwise, your personal success is really quite hollow and insignificant.
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
Complain and Remain…The words in your mouth can be prison bars.
Why complain? – All it does is trap you in an unrelenting negative state of mind. Free yourself from your troubles by taking positive actions and surrounding yourself with positive people. Ask God for the strength to take that first step.
No foul language should come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for needed edification, that it may impart grace to those who hear.
Ephesians 4:29
If you don’t live by the way you believe, you will soon believe the way you live.
Pause for a moment today and think about the values you hold dear. Are you a living example of a person with these values? If not, ask God for the strength and honesty to reexamine your moral compass. Now, believe in it, and more importantly, follow it.
So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
James 2:17
Ability does not produce effort. Attitude does.
The only way to succeed is to try…and the best way to try is with a great attitude. Starting today, try to be a better Christian – How’s your attitude?
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence and if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Philippians 4:8
Long-term success has more to do with being resilient than always making the right decisions.
Focus your energy on overcoming your adversities and obstacles instead of spinning around in fear of making the wrong decision. If you listen, God will always point you in the right direction.
Temptation. Blessed is the man who perseveres in temptation, for when he has been proved he will receive the crown of life that he promised to those who love him. No one experiencing temptation should say, “I am being tempted by God”; for God is not subject to temptation to evil, and he himself tempts no one. Rather, each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire conceives and brings forth sin, and when sin reaches maturity it gives birth to death.
James 1:12-15
You cannot obtain the impossible without seeing the invisible.
Have faith. Having faith often leads to caring more than others think is wise; risking more than others think is safe; dreaming more than others think is practical; and expecting more than others think is possible.
I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me.
Philippians 4:13
I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I’d rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.
Let your actions speak loudly and clearly for you today. Perform an act of kindness, share one of your blessings with someone in need, or volunteer your time and talent.
Children, let us love not in word or speech but in deed and truth. Confidence Before God.
1 John 3:18
Our destiny changes with our thought; we shall become what we wish to become and do what we wish to do, only when our habitual thought corresponds with our desire.
Make sure you are constantly Thinking About God in all you do and before you take action today. Do this daily and not only will it will begin to define you but you’ll find it is truly what you desire.
LORD, God of our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, keep such thoughts in the hearts and minds of your people forever, and direct their hearts toward you.
1 Chronicles 29:18
Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.
Start each day looking around at the beauty of God’s world; it is always there waiting to be realized. Keep thoughts of these gifts with you all day and you will surely enjoy a great day.
God looked at everything he had made, and found it very good. Evening came, and morning followed—the sixth day.
Genesis 1:31
A smile is a passport that will take you anywhere you want to go.
When you travel to a foreign land, you wouldn't go without your passport. As you venture into new and unfamiliar territories in your life, make sure you wear a smile and carry a christian attitude that matches. Happy Landings!
I recognized that there is nothing better than to rejoice and to do well during life.
Ecclesiastes 3:12
The truest greatness lies in being kind, the truest wisdom in a happy mind.
Be great today by lending a helping hand to those in need. Be wise today by approaching everything with a positive attitude. At the end of the day, thank God for the greatness and wisdom that lies within you.
Each one helps his neighbor, one says to the other, “Courage!”
Isaiah 41:6
Never regret yesterday. Life is in you today and you make your own tomorrow.
Live each day as if it were a gift from God - it is. Learn from yesterday's mistakes and turn to Jesus to help you make a better tomorrow. A new day – a new gift.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Hebrews 13:8
The past can hurt - you can either run from it or learn from it. – The Lion King
Think back about recent challenges and what you learned from them. Apply what you learned to the present and the future. With God’s help anything is possible!
Jesus looked at them and said, “For human beings this is impossible, but for God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
