God is such a wonderful God.  It’s very important that we take time out and thank Him for His grace.  Sometimes I look back on my life and say Lord thank You because when you see what could have happened but didn’t, when you see things changing in your life, when you see other lives changing as well, it’s all God.
 
We all have things that we’re dealing with but we need God to get us through and all He asks us to do is Love and put Him first.  Each day we live for the next day so the goal is to have joy and peace through the day.  This is why we need God.  Peace only comes from Him. 
 
We can have everything in the world but if we don’t have peace, we don’t have nothing, if we don’t have God, we don’t have nothing, if we don’t know how to love, we don’t have nothing.  We have to learn and practice how to respect one another, not judge but stay focus on what we’re doing because on judgement day, God will look at all of us individually on our actions. 
 
If you’re reading this daily inspiration, you’re blessed because God has allowed you to live another day.  Let’s value His grace so that we can serve and have peace doing it on our journey.
 
Amen and Thank You Jesus

​It doesn’t matter how bad life may seem, we should never give up.  As long as we’re still breathing, we have a reason to be here.  Sometimes in life we go through things to make us stronger and I know sometimes it feels like it’s way too much to handle but God doesn’t give us anything that we can’t handle and all we have to do is trust Him and ask for strength.
 
We’re here to depend on God because He’s the teacher, He’s the protector and He’s gives us strength to keep going every day.  I believe getting through trials and tribulations is a matter of taking one thing at a time, tackling one thing at a time and asking God for guidance.  God knows what’s going to happen before it happens.  Let’s walk with Faith and Trust that He’s working in our lives. We have got to depend on Him and know that He’s with us through all things.
 
Every time I think about depending on God, this songs comes to mind by Yolanda Adams.  Please listen to these lyrics and know that God is with you in whatever you’re going through.  He’s holding your hand and He’s walking with you every step of the way through the good and the bad and when we trust Him, we become stronger and more wiser each and every day.

Amen and Thank You God.

​God calls all of us to work towards holiness.  This means getting more close to Him, more wiser, more loving, more humbled, more patience and so on.  In doing that, we have to go through some things and tough times because we need to know what’s good for us, we need to know what’s bad for us and we need to know how we’re supposed to handle situations that we encounter.
 
This is why when the storms come, we can’t give up because this is when God is working in our lives.  He’s trying to make us stronger and tougher to handle life.  If we can’t get through small situations, how do we expect to handle tough ones?  Life is not easy but when we’re connected to God the burdens are lifted and life becomes joy even through the bad times.  Have you ever had anyone say to you “How do you do it”? Well with God’s strength, anything is possible. 
 
Working towards holiness, has so many benefits.  We learn how to let go and let God, we gain peace, we gain joy and we’re able to sleep at night.  This is why I say all the time that we don’t have time for nonsense.  Negative behavior brings disruption in our lives and misery.  Even when we try to hide that, it’s still inside because God is love and He said “we’re nothing without Him”. 
 
Ask yourself some questions
Do you want peace in your life?
Are you tired of being tired?
Are you ready to make changes so you can have joy on your journey?
 
If those answers are “Yes” you need to really evaluate your actions, your relationships with others and how you’re looking at life.  Remember, people should have your best interest at heart and if they don’t, you need to have conversations or decisions to make.  I’m not saying not love them but how can you become more holy if you’re dealing with drama?
 
The bottom line is this – God has great plans for you and sometimes we allow situations or others to put a pause on our lives.  Let’s start by asking God to help us to become better and if we need help in an area, seek that and do what we have to do.  Life is short, we don’t know if we’re going to see tomorrow so let’s make the best out of today with the tools, grace and love that God gives to us each and every day.
 
Amen, Amen and Amen.  Thank You Lord.

​I had an experience today and I just have to say that we all are responsible for our own actions.  Sometimes we tend to want to blame others for our faults or something we did or didn’t do.  God sees everything so it’s nothing we can hide and the only person we need to report to is God in regards to our actions.  Our actions show where the heart is and when we don’t do our part, we have to answer to God.
 
Each day is a new day and we don’t even know if we’re going to see tomorrow so it’s really not worth acting crazy or like we don’t know what time it is in this world.  Our minds need to be focused and our hearts need to be pure.  We need to stay connected to God and gain wisdom because we have to know how to handle life each day to serve and how to be still to serve all at the same time.
 
Most of us die before we live because when we don’t humble ourselves or know the importance of love, we’re not living out the mission set by God but we’re living for ourselves and this is what God means when he says we’re nothing without Him. We need to get it together before it’s too late and learn to become like children more every day so that we can have peace and joy in our days.  Most important fulfill the mission set by God.  Please read the Bible verses below so that we can become wiser in answering God’s call.

James 1:22-25 - But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
1 Corinthians 11:1 - Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.

On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Ephesians 4:1-3 - I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Matthew 12:33-35 - Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers!

James 3:1-18 - Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! ...

​Today we celebrate our country and we should be very honored to be here because people are going through a lot and we’re at a place where we can pray, we can help one another and we can be open to whatever we believe in. That’s an honor and we shouldn’t take it for granted.
 
At the same time, we shouldn’t waste our time on nonsense or think the world revolves around us because without God we’re nothing and that’s the truth. Let’s reminisce on that and evaluate what we’re doing so we can serve more and have peace on our journey.
 
Amen and Thank You God.
 

​In life, sometimes we get tired of trying so hard and when it seems like we’re doing good, sometimes crazy things happen.  Let’s not worry or get distracted when things take a turn or seem like we’re not progressing because God sees everything and He knows our hearts and where we are with things in our lives.
 
It’s very important that we keep pushing and when we get tired ask Him for strength and stay focused.  We have to be patient and be still because God has a plan and He loves us very much.  Let’s not get angry when things happen that’s not good for us, let’s not allow other people actions to allow us to have a negative impact on our lives and let’s not forget the importance of Love and Patience.
 
Please read the bible verses below because it’s a reminder from God to not give up and to hold on because He’s in the midst of it all.  I wrote this wisdom today because sometimes it’s tough but I wanted to remind everyone on the importance of waiting on God’s call and having joy even when life seems like it’s not good because when we go through things, it’s only temporary.  God will come through.
 
Psalm 37:7-9 7Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. 8Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to evil. 9For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.
 
 
1 Corinthians 13:4-5 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
 
 
Colossians 3:12 12Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
 
 Amen and Thank You Jesus

Sometimes love is hard to do especially when people hurt you.  It’s very important that we stay close and connected to God to be able to get through tough times like this on our journey.  It’s not easy to do because you want to speak your peace and at the same time, you want people to see the light in you. We all need improvement in this area because it all depends on the situation that will determine how we respond, when we respond and how long it will take us to get over the situation.

What I do know is we’re called to love, forgive and be understanding with our neighbor but we’re not called to place ourselves in bad situations that will distract us from serving God.  Sometimes these situations take time to heal and sometimes we have to step back.  At the same time, we have to have the courage to speak our peace and do it with love, integrity and humility.  When we do that, we turn in over to the other person to respond and react according to God’s teaching.

We should NEVER hold on to things or get stressed about what we have on our plate because God tells us to do what we can when we can and that’s all we can do.

Let’s not get caught up and build anger in any situation but speak our peace, pray and keep it moving. Anger turns into bitterness and leads to evil so let’s choose to love so that this doesn’t enter our soul. 
 
Amen, Thank You Jesus and please read the scriptures below that talk about anger and the negative impact it could have on you.
 
Ephesians 4:26-31 26"In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27and do not give the devil a foothold. 28Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need. 29Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.
 
Psalm 37:8 8Refrain
from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret-it leads only to
evil.
