Let Go and Let God!

One day my family and I went to the beach for a picnic. The kids brought along my youngest son's special toy, a green and yellow ball that he had for a long time. We were playing with the ball when it got away from us into the water. The current was strong and the water was choppy and we were all sad to see it go. I felt for my son. At one time it even seemed like the ball was calling out for us to come and get it but we could not. In fact, we were thankful to God that we did not let our feelings supercede His wisdom. The water was too dangerous and the ball was moving quickly. We had no choice but to let it go. To consider it lost. At that time it was the best thing for us to do. Similarly in life situations there will be times that we will have to know when to Let Go.

Let Go and Let God!

There may things in our lives that may look good, feel good, seem good but may not be right for us. We may try to hold on to these things longer than we should to our own detriment. We must be sensitive to God's timing. We must ask Him to show us what He wants for us and when He wants it. Jesus said in the model prayer that we should pray to God, "Thy kingdom come thy will be done." Let us pray this prayer today and ask God to guide us and teach us when to hold on and when to let go. He promised in psalm 32:8 that He will guide us and show us the way we should go. His way is perfect so today we can trust in Him.

You are Special In case you might have forgotten, I just wanted to remind you that you are one of a kind, God's chosen, fearfully and wonderfully created. It does not matter how you feel, how you look, what your circumstances are, these things do not define YOU. What defines you is who or what you think about yourself. So today, I want to encourage you to push through negative thoughts and feelings and believe the truth of your uniqueness. You are not only fearfully and wonderfully made as God said, you are also strong because He has promised to be your strength and shield. So today, I encourage you to know that you are somebody loving, kind, full of warmth, smart and beautiful. 'Your past is history' Your past is history. It does not have to determine your destiny because God himself has already determined it. So many people live and die without knowing that they are special, that they are somebody and that they are unique, important, loved, wanted and appreciated. Today ...

Push Forward!

There are times when you feel as though you are walking through a strong sand storm and the winds of adversity seem to be pushing you backwards everytime you try to move forward. This is what life is all about. Life at its best brings with it lots of joy but with some level of adversity. I want to say to you today to push forward and fight back not in your strength, but in the strength that God gives you. Ways that will help us in pushing forward: Queen Esther had a difficult situation. Her uncle's life was at stake, so she set out to do something about it but before she proceeded she used what I think is one of the greatest tools in helping us to succeed in adversity. She prayed and fasted. She told her folks to pray and fast for her. We know the results, the wickedness that was meant to destroy her and her loved ones fell back on the one who planned it. God helped her to gain the strength during this difficult time to do an unusual thing. Have a right attitude! Another...
