4/30/14 Sometimes the greatest gift you can give someone is a heart that is willing to listen. Your undivided attention can be a generous act of tolerance when someone needs your validation. If you listen without expectation, you can be changed by what you hear.
4/29/14 When you are full of yourself, God can't fill you. When you empty yourself, God has a useful heart to help Never be too wise in your own eyes, because God is in the business of deflating inflated egos by shooting an arrow of humility in your direction.
4/28/14 Speech can bless or curse. Money can save or destroy. Science can heal or kill. The same things can be meant for good or evil. Our free will can be used for good when sought through loving service to others. Faith in God can save the dying with the reward of eternal life.
4/27/14 Grace hides behind every form of suffering, waiting for surrender in order to enter. God comes in through that wound. It is when we are willing to acknowledge something we may never have imagined before, and a whole new perspective emerges that was hidden in our brokenness.
4/26/14 If forgiving others is difficult, forgiving ourselves is even harder. Many spend their whole lives punishing themselves mentally and physically for what they believe to be their own shortcomings. If God forgives us for everything, who are we not to forgive ourselves?
4/25/14 Do you have an attitude of positive expectation? Expect good things to come to you in God's timing and by His grace. Don't miss the message; stay spiritually alert to life's miracles. Receive all God's blessings by opening the present. You have not, because you ask not.
4/24/14 The positive thinker says that a problem is simply an opportunity to learn. Babies see everything as a challenge; life is a fascinating journey of discovery. However, courageous little tykes can turn into fearful adults. Trusting in God's love for you can make all the difference. Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it.
4/23/14 Your life is governed by laws. When you have a thought your brain produces energy, sending out vibrations that produce reactions. Reality is created by your own mind and your life is a product of what you think about all day. Think love, live love, and get love back.
4/22/14 Did you know that when you confront your fears they disappear? When you develop the courage to meet a problem head on, it evaporates. It is never as bad as you think it is as long as you own up and tell the truth. Do not be anxious, but be grateful for everything.
4/21/14 Sometimes bad things happen so good things can take place. Make the best of every situation and trust that even when bad things happen, God will use it for good in the future. Have faith in His wisdom. The purpose of pain is to mold you into all that you were created to be.
