God loves you and offers a wonderful plan for your life.
Follow His plan for you. Seek answers about His plan through prayer, meditation, and opportunities. Rejoice in God's plan of love for you.
We have come to know and to believe in the love God has for us. God is love, and whoever remains in love remains in God and God in him.
1 John 4:16
Do not be afraid to be different. The path God has chosen for you is perfect for you.
The more closely you follow God, the more fully He can develop your unique gifts. Relinquish your desire to please other people. Focus on pleasing God and others will be blessed through you.
There are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone.
1 Corinthians 12:6
A smile is an inexpensive way to change your looks.
Instead of spending money on more fashionable clothes, expensive tennis shoes or changing your hairstyle, spend more time today with a smile on your face. Smile. It's a universal language and will make others (and you) ultimately feel better about themselves. This is a very simple way to please God today.
A glad heart lights up the face, but an anguished heart breaks the spirit.
Proverbs 15:13
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.
Decide to be Happy today. Start by counting your blessings. Then thank God through your words and actions.
And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
Thankfulness opens the door to God's presence.
Learn the art of giving thanks in all circumstances. See how many times you can thank God today so you can be keenly aware of his blessings. Even when times are tough, be thankful for the blessing of having God at your side to comfort you.
In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Life is like a ten-speed bike. Most of us have gears we never use.
God has blessed you with so many talents. Take a few minutes today and think of how you could find a new gear that would allow you to better fulfill God's plan for you. Being more generous with your time helping others may be a good way to shift your thinking!
One person is lavish yet grows still richer; another is too sparing, yet is the poorer. Whoever confers benefits will be amply enriched, and whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
Proverbs 11:24-25
Treat everyone with politeness and kindness, not because they are nice, but because you are.
Be kind to everyone you meet today. Your act of kindness could change the outcome of their day, or even their life. Let others experience the goodness of God through you.
Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.
Matthew 5:16
I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples.
Do your part to make the world a better place today. Small acts of kindness, witnessed and replicated by others, can have a rippling effect capable of changing the world.
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience,
Colossians 3:12
Being humble matters.
Don't brag, don't boast, and don't spike the football. Spend more time today focusing on the efforts and successes of others. Everyone will benefit by seeing the good works of God work through you.
Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.
James 4:10
Learning to hear God's voice throughout the day is like having the ultimate advisor and teacher always by your side.
We hear advice all day and need to sort out the good from bad. Take time to listen with your mind and heart to the advice of God today - He will always guide you toward Him.
Chapter 2 The Blessings of Wisdom - My son, if you receive my words and treasure my commands, Turning your ear to wisdom, inclining your heart to understanding; Yes, if you call for intelligence, and to understanding raise your voice; If you seek her like silver, and like hidden treasures search her out, Then will you understand the fear of the LORD; the knowledge of God you will find;
Proverbs 2:1-5
Stay calmly conscious of God's presence no matter what comes your way. Nothing takes Him by surprise.
God is already aware of what is in store for you today and He will not let circumstances overwhelm you. If you are anxious about what lies ahead, ask Him to calm your anxiety.
Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.
Matthew 6:34
If we let our worries overpower our faith in God, we do not give the Word of God the opportunity to guide us.
The bigger our worries, the more we need to rely on our faith. If you, or someone you know, is going through a difficult time, take comfort knowing God is with you. Turn to Him in prayer with faith that His Word will bring you true inner peace and the strength to endure.
I command you: be strong and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD, your God, is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9
My chief concern is to try to be a humble, earnest Christian.
As you spend time with God today, ask Him to make you more humble. Then go out and work toward that goal by listening and praising others. Refrain from talking about you, instead, listen to them and reflect on what they are saying. How you can help others should be forefront in your mind.
Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory; rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves, each looking out not for his own interests, but [also] everyone for those of others.
Phillipians 2:3-4
Learn to laugh at yourself more freely. Don't take yourself or your circumstances so seriously.
Just as a parent delights in hearing the laughter of their children, so does your heavenly Father. Laughter lightens your load and can lift your heart into heavenly places. Do not miss the joy of Christ's presence by carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders. Instead - Find more opportunities to laugh today!
A joyful heart is the health of the body, but a depressed spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22
I can't give you a sure-fire formula for success, but I can give you a formula for failure: try to please everybody all the time.
Trying to please those around you is not a bad thing, as long as your actions are also pleasing to God. Seek first to please God. That is your best formula for eternal success.
Am I now currying favor with human beings or God? Or am I seeking to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of Christ.
Galatians 1:10
Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely.
Choose to follow in Christ's footsteps. Be positive. Be Happy. Be Optimistic. Be Kind. Be a Cheerful Giver. Be Respectful. You have much to be grateful for. Live your life with that mindset. It will improve your life and the lives of all those around you.
And let the peace of Christ control your hearts, the peace into which you were also called in one body. And be thankful.
Colossians 3:15
Anxiety stems from asking the wrong question: "If _______ happens, can I handle it?"
You and God together can handle anything that may occur. The real question is whether you will invite God to walk with you today. Ask Him to be present with you throughout the day so you can face it confidently and protected.
Attend to the sound of my cry, my king and my God! For to you I will pray, LORD;
Psalm 5:3
Isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?”
Every day provides you with a clean slate. Learn from yesterday, but don't dwell on it. Plan for the future, but don’t obsess about it. Today is a new day. Make the best of it.
And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Colossians 3:17
Filling your life with meaning and purpose is the single most important thing you can do to live the life to the fullest.
Make sure your purpose in life is centered around your faith in and love for God the father. With that foundation, you can live your life more like God had planned for you.
God’s Indomitable Love in Christ. We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
Fear less, hope more. Eat less, chew more. Whine less, breathe more. Talk less, say more. Love more, and all good things in life will be yours.
Start your day today with a more positive attitude. Be more optimistic and truly present in ALL your conversations today. It will make your day (and those around you!) much brighter and more good things will come your way.
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
The world is still at God's beck and call, even though it may seem otherwise.
Do not be fooled by worldly ways. God is in control of everything - the good and the bad. When it is difficult to believe this, turn to God and pray for peace and understanding. He will see you through.
As we look not to what is seen but to what is unseen; for what is seen is transitory, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:18
Give Satan an inch and he will become your ruler.
Don't be deceived by Satan's earthly temptations. Little wrongs can quickly compound and eventually devour your soul. While Jesus was human he was able to resist a direct attack from Satan, and with His help, you can also resist Satan's empty promises.
Be sober and vigilant. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion looking for [someone] to devour.
1 Peter 5:8
God has called each of His children to a different path, distinctly designed for each one.
Do not let anyone convince you that their path is the only right way. Likewise, be careful not to extol your path as superior to another's way. Walk humbly where ever God leads you.
For we are his handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them. One in Christ.
Ephesians 2:10
