Push Past Fear
Fear is the emotion that keeps you stuck in the past. Fear paralyzes you. Fear is the number one problem most people face — fear that they’re not going to make it, fear of the future, or fear of what other people think.

whatever YOU did, YOU are forgiven!
Sometimes we beat ourselves up, and never get over the fact that people don’t forgive us. Sometimes we can’t forgive ourselves. But what does God say? We have to remember His truths and live by it. Let the burden go.
I am the God who forgives your sins, and I do this because of who I am. I will not hold your sins against you. (Isaiah 43:25 TEV)

Sometimes We Have To Be Reminded To Ask!
Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” (Matthew 7:7–8)

When Things Fall Apart, Focus on God's Love
“The thought of my pain and my homelessness is bitter poison. I think of it constantly, and my spirit is depressed. Yet hope returns when I remember this one thing: The Lord’s unfailing love and mercy still continue, fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise. The Lord is all I have, so in him I put my hope.” (Lamentations 3:19-26 TEV)

God is seeking faithful people because he wants to bless them. He wants to show his love through his great power. Our faithfulness is the key to unlocking his blessing in...

Someone to Show Them the Way
But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? —Romans 10:14
God has primarily chosen to reach people through people. So engage them, and most...

It Only Takes One
“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it useful again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world—like a city on a mountain, glowing in the night for all to see. Don’t hide your light under a basket! Instead, put it on a stand and let it shine for all. In the same way, let your...

Satisfaction
Satisfaction does not come from working really hard to make a lot of money or to achieve a bunch of accomplishments. Or, as a guy told me one time, and maybe you can relate, “I climbed the ladder of success. When I got to the top I found it was leaning against the wrong wall and I’d wasted all that effort.”
