Sharing My Favorites

Today I am not writing, I am sharing some of my favorite quotes and scriptures that help me in my life when things get difficult.  I hope they comfort you!

"Prayer is essential!"  When we pray, we are working with God to determine our future.  History was determined by prayer and history can change tomorrow because of prayers today!  So please pray!

"You are a stronger person today than you have ever been before.  You are smarter and wiser.  You are fully prepared to defeat any obstacles in your life.  Look back over your life and see how far you have come.  You have what it takes and your best days are right out in front of you.  Embrace them!  And show the world what you're made of!!!!!

"When God is going to do something wonderful He begins with a difficulty, If He is going to do something very wonderful, He begins with a mess."

"Preparation today gives confidence tomorrow.  Preparation today gives success tomorrow."

"The world will believe in you and respond to your wishes when you first believe in yourself."

Proverbs 31:30
     "Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vein, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised."

"Every change no matter how tragic, always opens the door to more."

Some important things to remember if you are a positive person:

l.  A positive person attracts negative energy like a magnet.
2.  Being around negative people can make you physically, mentally, and spiritually sick.
3.  When you are a person who has positive energy, you sometimes don't notice that you are absorbing negative energy and being drained emotionally.
4.  If you reject what you need, you will have a tendency to want what you can't have or don't need!
5.  Since sacrafice is associated with love, loving or being loved, many people will self-sacrafice their own wants and needs until they are completely spent.
6.  Learn how to feel your own wants and desires.  Your positive desires will begin to open up your life to attract and create everything you want.  Only you have the power to make your dreams come true!  And with God's help through prayer!

Mark 11:24 - Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Phillippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Proverbs 3:5,6 - Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding:  In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Titus 2:7,8 - in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctring, showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say to you!

John 14:6 - Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 8:51 - "Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death." (and that means spiritual death)

Quote:  "Stars are the pinholes in the curtains of heaven."

"You are either moving forward or backward." 

"Are you living in the past or are you pressing forwards to a positive future?"

I hope these quotes and scriptures encourage you as they do me.  I find myself reaching for my journal of encouragement when things are difficult.  I always remember that people will let you down, but God never will!
