To affect the quality of the day; that is the art of life.
Stop going through the motions today…Find a way, anyway to make the day better. Your quality of life and those around you is about to improve.
Therefore, we are not discouraged; rather, although our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16
Ask God's blessing on your work, but don't ask him to do it for you.
God gave you all the skills you need to do your work. Pray for God's blessing and inspiration; then take the responsibility to act.
I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me.
Philippians 4:13
Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
Take the initiative to face all your challenges and opportunities today. If it seems overwhelming, ask for God's help and guidance.
Because of laziness, the rafters sag; when hands are slack, the house leaks.
Ecclesiastes 10:18
In every phenomenon the beginning remains always the most notable moment.
Pray this Easter that the humble beginnings of our Lord Jesus Christ will continue to remain the most wonderful, powerful and long-lasting phenomenon our world has ever witnessed. As you are reminded that He rose from the dead, remember he will come again. HAPPY EASTER FROM THE TAG TEAM
The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had ordered them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but they doubted. Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit,
Matthew 28:16-19
Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be.
Keep looking forward while learning the lessons from the past. Make a mental note of how you could do better the next time. Ask for God's guidance here on earth while looking forward to your ultimate future with Him.

Thessalonians 5:18
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
In the words of Theodore Roosevelt, "Comparison is the thief of joy." There is absolutely nothing wrong with having a strong desire to improve yourself. However, in all phases of your life, do not allow yourself to grow arrogant or envious with superficial comparisons to those around you. Focus on what really matters and you will find joy.
Avert my eyes from what is worthless; by your way give me life.
Psalm 119:37
Worry doesn't improve the future, it only ruins the present.
Don't let worry steal your happiness today. Give your worries up to God in prayer and enjoy the day!
Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.
Matthew 6:34
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
God expects much of each one of us. What can you do for Him today? Think of at least one thing God might expect of you and carry it out today. It doesn't have to be large, just accomplish it for Him.
But you must fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart, for you have seen the great things the LORD has done among you.
1 Samuel 12:24
Children soon forget their presents, but not your presence.
Reflect over the past few weeks. How much time have you made for children in your life? Make a concerted effort to prioritize your life this week giving more time to the children you can influence.
Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked them,
Matthew 19:13
Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
Listen to your heart and allow yourself to pursue and develop your passions. Once you silence the naysayers with action, you will attract the attention, encouragement and support of the many other positive spirits around you.
But as for you, be strong and do not slack off, for there shall be a reward for what you do.”
2 Chronicles15:07
Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.
Don't wait for the “perfect moment” – Take the initiative to warm someone else's heart today with a random, yet significant act of kindness.
Peter Restores Tabitha to Life. Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated means Dorcas). She was completely occupied with good deeds and almsgiving.
Acts 9:36
Before we set our hearts too much upon anything, let us examine how happy those are who already possess it.
Reflect upon all of the blessings you already have and let your heart rest on the comfort that you have so much for which to be grateful. You probably already have everything you need to be happy.
You even joined in the sufferings of those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, knowing that you had a better and lasting possession.
Hebrews 10:34
Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.
We all have limits to our ability, but God has given you all the ability you need to accomplish His plan for you. Make an effort to develop these talents to better serve Him. Start today.
By his deceit he shall make some who were disloyal forsake the covenant; but those who remain loyal to their God shall take strong action.
Daniel 11:32
We should always remember that the value of our good works is not based on their number and excellence, but on the love of God which prompts us to do these things.
Take a moment and recognize God's presence within you. Allow His presence to inspire you to more actively do His good work. Execute your plan for the glory of the Lord and make sure He gets the glory.
So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31
The heaviest thing I can carry is a grudge.
Don't let a grudge weigh you down today. Pick up the phone (or send an email message) demonstrating your desire and willingness to open a line of communication. You may need your strength for other challenges today.
Bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if one has a grievance against another; as the Lord has forgiven you, so must you also do.
Colossians 3:13
It takes more than just believing in God, even Satan believes in God.
If you haven't done so lately, take a minute and praise God for your salvation through your faith in His Son. The best way to affirm your faith in Him is by your actions. Make sure others can tell you're a Christian by the way you treat them.
You believe that God is one. You do well. Even the demons believe that and tremble.
James 2:19
Don't wait until you get an answer to your prayers before you praise God.
Start your prayers today (and every day) with praise to God. Then, thank Him for your blessings and His continued blessings in your life. He has promised to listen.
For your love is better than life; my lips shall ever praise you!
Psalm 63:4
Even one of Jesus' most agonized prayers was not answered, but He did not give up His praying.
Never, never give up praying. The One who knows what is best for you is listening to you right now, and He is working in your life to bring you the ultimate comfort and joy you seek. Call upon Him.
Saying, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, not my will but yours be done.” [ And to strengthen him an angel from heaven appeared to him. He was in such agony and he prayed so fervently that his sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground.]
Luke 22:42-44
Our entrance into God's presence is not based on our worthiness, but on the worthiness of Jesus.
The only one worthy to be with God is Jesus. Thank Him for His sacrifice that allows you to be with God. This gift keeps you from worrying about being perfect.
For he is our God, we are the people he shepherds, the sheep in his hands. III - Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
Psalm 95:7
The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them.
Challenge yourself to get out of your comfort zone today to go beyond the usual and to achieve beyond the usual. Ask God this morning with a quiet prayer to give you the strength you'll need to step up.
This God who girded me with might, kept my way unerring,
2 Samuel 22:33
