A Force For Good
A word for today from Joyce!
What the world needs now is love, sweet love and for us, who call themselves Christian's to come together and become the a force so fierce, the earth will shake and have no choice to get in line.
May it be so.
God Bless.
A Force for Good
Adapted from the resource Starting Your Day Right Devotional - by Joyce Meyer
We can improve our relationships with others by leaps and bounds if we become encouragers instead of critics.
It is the greater person who does the right thing; Christ’s righteousness dwells in you to help you do what is right. You are great in God’s eyes when you choose to do right and bless others.
No matter how rough your day is today, speak words that uplift and encourage those around you. Encourage others if you notice them doing a good job—not just those who work with you, but people wherever you go, such as store clerks, auto mechanics, and waiters.
Say something like, “I appreciate the extra effort you are making to do your job well.” You can change your life and someone else’s by choosing to speak positive words.
Prayer Starter: Father, please show me when I am being critical and negative toward others. Help me today to speak encouraging words of life to all those around me. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Quote Of The Day - What Is Confidence
This is so good. Confidence is something I think that is lacking in the church big time because people are always judging others because they don't have confidence in who they are so they have to tear everyone they are around down.
Imagine what the world would be like if we start to raise people up instead of tearing down.
So yeah, confidence the hidden gem in a Christian walk that could cultivate and bring a much needed change.
God Bless.
Quote of the Day -Joyce Meyer
“What is confidence? I believe confidence is all about being positive concerning what you can do and not worrying over what you can’t do. Confident people do not concentrate on their weaknesses; they develop and maximize their strengths.”

Let Your Light Shine
This is such a powerful little devotional. Imagine what the world could look like if we adapted just a little bit of kindness no matter who we come in contact with.
So, maybe it is time we let our light shine into the darkness.
God Bless.
Let Your Light Shine
Adapted from the resource Love Out Loud Devotional - by Joyce Meyer
Here's an idea: Get yourself a big box and start going through your possessions, asking God to show you what you have that you can use to bless others. Fill it up with things that are nice but that you no longer need.
Look in cabinets, drawers, closets, the basement, and the garage. You will fill up your box quickly! Don't keep something for years in case you ever need it—if you're anything like me, by the time you need it, you will have forgotten that you have it and go buy another one anyway.
Take the clutter that is frustrating you and turn it into blessings. Keep the box in a handy place and start asking God to show you who needs to be blessed.
One woman I know, who is a radical giver, got all the things together she wanted to use to bless people and displayed them on her kitchen table. She invited several friends over and told them to take anything they wanted from the table. She urged them to keep on taking until everything was gone.
I encourage you to be a giver and look for ways in which you can use what you have to be a blessing to others.
Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You so much for Your goodness and blessings in my life. Help me to always be mindful of other people’s needs and look for creative ways to share Your blessing with others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

Working For God
Love this. Love the concept the author is trying to convey in this little devotional.
Right now, my family and I are living some sort of this. We are doing the right thing in a matter while others are getting away somethings and seem to prospering while we are left wondering what is happening Lord? Did you forget about us?
So when I came across this little devotional, I grabbed hold of the hope written.
And surely I am not the only one where it looks like your getting screwed and is hanging by a thread and your left wondering where God is.
Be encouraged, God will not let us down.
God Bless.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men," - (Colossians 3:23)
Character of the Christian life. It is a rule for holy living. No matter how they laugh at you, scorn or scoff at you, call you an idiot, you still keep doing the right thing. You show up for work on time after you've being up all night with a sick child, you prepare your husband's meals even though he's having an affair and you clock in your normal volunteer hours although you are not recognized for what you do. It hurts sometimes, but keep working for God regardless of what men say or do, He is your rewarder.

Lie Awake
The next time you can't sleep may you recall the words of this little devotional and it brings you comfort and closer to the one who created you.
God Bless.
Lie Awake
I lie awake thinking of you, meditating on you through the night. (NLT) -Psalm 63:6
Do you ever have a hard time going to sleep or worse, wake up in the middle of the night unable to go back to sleep? Thinking of God in these quiet times can be precious moments when little else can distract you. It can even lead to better rest because of the peace you receive from meditating on God.
