We hide behind ourselves, hoping noone sees our faults – our imperfections.

We all have faults, but we must be true to ourselves, confessing our faults to our Father, and asking our Father to forgive us and save us from ourselves. God will deliver us from whatever is hindering us.

God knows who you really are, and is waiting for you to ask for His help. Be honest with yourself and go face to face with God. Once you do, he will reveal to you His glory.

Let Jesus set you free from yourself.

II Corinthians 3:18 (KJV) – but we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord

John 8:36 (KJV) – if the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Your sin can never outweigh the grace that God has given you.

Bloom where you are planted in your forgiveness.

Where sin is, grace abound even more. Remember, you are saved by grace, not sin.

Romans 5:20 (KJV) – moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.

Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) – for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.

When we give to others, it’s so much easier to give the gift of money. But money does not give more than the gift of your time.

Spend time with loved ones. . . money can never outweigh your time, which gives a lifetime of memories. Giving of yourself speaks volumes.

Dont regret it, but give it. Give the gift of yourself. . . it’s priceless.

Luke 6:38 (KJV) – give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Do you wonder why you can’t move forward in your life?

To go beyond where you are, you have to do something beyond what you’ve never done.

Don’t be scared, be courageous. Have faith in God, you can’t do it without Him.

Joshua 1:7 (KJV) – only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

Philippians 4:13 (KJV) – I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

John 15:5 (KJV) – I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

We judge others based on what we know, and don’t take into account of what they know.

If everyone was just like you, what have you to offer anyone? Or what can someone offer you? The answer is nothing. You would be of no value to anyone.

If you judge others, you will be judged. See others as a masterpiece, just as you are.

Matthew 7:1-2 (KJV) – judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Ephesians 2:10 (KJV) – for we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath ordained that we should walk in them.

We’re always wishing we were someone else, had something different, or had someone different.

If you’re not satisfied with what you have now, you won’t be satisfied when you receive your blessing.

Learn to be satisfied with who you are, what you have, and who you’re with, then you’ll be satisfied – content with your blessings.

Philippians 4:11 (KJV) – not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, there with to be content.

We all make mistakes, and will do so until we are called home to glory.

We can never be righteous in our own strength, but we can be through our Lord and Savior. As a matter of fact, we are perfect in Jesus Christ, who made us perfect.

II Corinthians 5:21 (KJV) – for he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Colossians 1:28 (KJV) – whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus.

I Peter 5:10 (KJV) – but the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

Jealousy is disagreeing with God with something we don’t have, but want what He has given to someone else.

Jealousy can hinder our blessings. We don’t have what we ask for because our praying is lustful.

Pray for what you want, but not out of jealousy for what someone else has. What God has given to you is for you, not someone else.

Proverbs 6:34 (KJV) – for jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

James 4:3 (KJV) – ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

Every trial that you have been in, and every time you have messed up, know this. . . it will not consume you, and you will moved forward.

God delivers the righteous out of all of his afflictions. Not some of them, but all of them!

You are the burning bush! You may be on fire, but you are not consumed.

Psalm 34:19 (KJV) – Many are the affliction of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth Him out of them all.

Exodus 3:2 (KJV) – and the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

Say what you mean, and mean what you say. But don’t say it mean.

Say it with grace, and speak in love.

Colossians 4:6 (KJV) – let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
