Psalm 100:4
The only thing wrong with love and faith and belief is not having it.
Belief in God is essential for eternal salvation. With faith in God comes love for mankind and belief of life everlasting. Pray and study the Word today to strengthen your faith in God. You may find it is the most productive time you spend.
But without faith it is impossible to please him, for anyone who approaches God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
Hebrews 11:6
It’s one thing to be grateful. It’s another to give thanks. Gratitude is what you feel. Thanksgiving is what you do.

Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Talking about God must never be a substitute for talking with God.
Take a moment right now to talk with God. Share your wishes and dreams, fears and desires. Carry on a conversation like you would with your father - after all, that’s who He is.
The LORD is near to all who call upon him, to all who call upon him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.
At times, we all have uncertainties about our future. Ask God about His plans for yours. Think through what that looks like and how to create that vision in your life. Now go out and do it.
For I know well the plans I have in mind for you—oracle of the LORD—plans for your welfare and not for woe, so as to give you a future of hope.

Thank God for who He is, not just for what He has done for you.

And hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us.
Romans 5:5
Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.

When cares increase within me, your comfort gives me joy.
Psalm 94:19
It's not about the strength of your faith but who you have faith in.
God loves you whether you are on the top of your faith-mountain or whether you are still climbing. Trust that God is beside you at all times. Take a minute in prayer to thank Him for being with you as you continue your climb.
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God; it is not from works, so no one may boast.
John 6:35
Love God and He will love you, trust God and He will trust you, lean on God and He will hold you.

God alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not fall.

In the end, all will be good. If things are not good, remember this is not the end.

He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there shall be no more death or mourning, wailing or pain, [for] the old order has passed away.”
Revelation 21:4
Do what you can with what you have where you are, and God will do the rest.
Don’t wait for the perfect time or the perfect circumstances to take action in service to God. God provided you with all you need to serve Him. Trust God and Act NOW.
I have the strength for everything through him who empowers me.
Philippians 4:13
Success is not final; Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that matters.
When things are going great, be humble while continuing to grow and improve. When things feel like they're falling apart, seek ways to learn from your experience, and never give up. At all times, ask God for the courage to do what is right in His eyes.
For God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control.
2 Timothy 1:7
“Rule #1 - Put God at the center of everything. Rule #2 – Repeat. Rule #3 – Repeat after repeating.”

The grass withers, the flower wilts, but the word of our God stands forever.”
Isaiah 40:8
Grace is not something you earn or deserve. It is a divine gift.

That in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
