Our responsibility is to take care of ourselves so that we can serve the Lord  and help others on the journey as well as be an example in allowing people to see Jesus through us.

It's not easy to do this because our lives are busy, we wear so many hats in life and some of us think we're trapped in situations that we can't get out of or it's something we did that we don't have the courage to seek help or ask for forgiveness.

Let me say this:  God is a loving God and He wants us to be at peace and have joy on our journey.  We need to stop worrying about others, worrying about all of the responsibilities we have, take care of our problems or get the help needed to do what we have to do and face reality even if we have to sacrifice.  We need to take time our for ourselves because when the stress comes and we don't have that relationship with God, it's going to be difficult.  

We can start by spending quality time with God, praying and evaluating our lives to see what we need to change to make things better.  I know that's true because I have many things to work on and when I spend time with God and see through His lenses, I feel better and I know that I'm progressing.   I like to share my experiences most of the time because we all are here for God and we learn and grow from each other.  I don't know about you but my desire is to get closer to God because He's the only one who will give me peace and He gives me joy even through bad situations. This is why I'm sharing this with you today.

I really hope you know the value of the daily inspirations because we need motivation and courage to be who God wants us to be and have the ability to  live even through stressful situations. We can't do that if we don't take care of ourselves.

I pray that we all look deep within ourselves and find out what's working and what's not and how we can better all situations that we encounter that involves us.  We need to take time out for God, ask Him to guide us to get closer to Him and take care of ourselves spiritually, emotionally and mentally.  It's good for the soul and it will bring true happiness in our lives. Let's start a new beginning and not dwell on yesterday but focus on how we can better ourselves today.

I hope that God continues to bless you and hold your hand every step of the way to grow in wisdom and to work towards giving hope to the world by just being you and all that God made you to be.

Amen and Thank You Jesus

Communication is always the key to maintaining relationships and the most important relationship is the one we have with God.  Most of the time relationships start off good but throughout our journey sometimes we slack and lose relationships and then have to rebuild.  The good thing about our relationship with God is He's always there to listen, to comfort and to forgive.
Let's learn how to spend more time with God so we can build a better relationship to become more stronger and more wiser.

Other relationships are the ones we have with people.  We should always give others an opportunity to earn our trust and we should always try to respect others so that they can trust us.  People don't talk to other people because they don't trust them.  Things happen and the trust is broken. Always know that there should always be forgiveness in our hearts and I think everyone deserves a second chance because we all make mistakes but sometimes people don't want to have a relationship with us and when that happens, you have to let it go and know that you did  your part and that's all God asks us to do.  Don't worry about it and move on because we shouldn't worry about things that are out of our control.

The other relationship is the one we have within ourselves to stay focused and know what's best for us each and every day.  ME time is always good for us because it gives us an opportunity to re-evaluate ourselves to become better people.

Remember, communication is always good so let's work toward making our actions reflect what we say.

Thank you Jesus and Amen

We all are responsible for our own actions and we should take ownership of what we do.  Like I said before, it's time to heal, be humble and work towards being a better person.  We can't do that if we're not real with what's happening in our lives.

Everyone has problems and it's nothing wrong with admitting when we make mistakes.  The problems comes in when we can't admit when we're wrong. 

If we want to grow within, we need to recognize our problems, how we're treating others and how we're representing ourselves.  Most of the time we always want to blame others for things but really it's us that we need to blame. 

God gave us a mission to be an example and to live our lives so that people can see Jesus in us.  Let people be people and let's take care of ourselves so that we can serve the Lord. Everything we do matters and when we hurt others, we hurt God and when we hurt ourselves we hurt The Body of Christ.  Real talk, we live and we die and this journey is all about giving hope, receiving grace and holding on to our faith through all the mess.  That's real and God has let us know that He's there to  hold our hand every step of the way even when situations are hard to handle.

Let's learn to appreciate God's grace, learn to be accountable for our actions and take ownership of what we do.  That's what's up and that's how we're going to become who God wants us to be and build The Body of Christ.  Think about it. 

Amen and Thank you Jesus.

It's very important to take care of our lives because when we don't we give that power to someone else.  There are somethings that we will always have is our own mind and the power to control what we do.  Sometimes we get so caught up into life or into someone else that we lose ourselves.  That's not good for the soul and actually it puts a pause on our lives.

Now, I know life gets crazy sometimes but through all of the stress, trials and tribulations that we encounter, we still have to keep it under control.  One thing we have is our faith and the mindset to know that God is here for us.  He told us to give our burdens to Him and He will give us rest.  In other words, when we depend on Him, He will handle our problems as long as we do our part and keep it moving. 

See, life is not meant to be good all the time. In order to grow, we need to learn somethings, sacrifice at times and be okay when things get uncomfortable.  I'm here to tell you to not give up, stand strong even when you think  you don't have strength to do it.  I can testify to that because it's only by the Grace of God that I'm still here today.  One thing that keeps me going that I want to share is when Jesus was carrying the cross.  He was so tired and actually felt like no one had His back.  He would fall down and still manage to get up, He would weep but still manage to look someone in the eye and lastly He would trust God and still walk through all the pain.  When He got to Mount Calvary, they nailed him to the cross and after three days, He rose again and He gain the victory.  That's power and God loves us so much to show us that.  You see,  nothing is impossible for God and that is a pretty strong message so the bottom line is this -  When life comes at you hard and you feel like giving up or you don't have strength, remember Jesus carrying that cross and know that it will get better.  Jesus  thank you so much for that wisdom and grace.  We love you. Amen and Amen

Life is short and we have to try and make the best out of this life that was given.  God wants us to have joy and be at peace.  This is why He gave us the word and the wisdom to utilize on this journey.  It's so much happening around us and we have to be able to deal with situations one day at a time.

In order to deal with things, we have to be prepared and that means when the bad comes, know where to go to get strength and when the good comes, praise God and thank Him for His many blessings.  Also, take time out for God and know we need to refresh our relationship with Him to stay connected and have the ability to get through tough situations. Once we lose the connection with God or don't talk to Him anymore, our lives become chaotic.  We feel stressed and don't know which way to turn. 

It's so important to listen and talk to God everyday because it's easy to lose our way.  Let's not lose focus because there are things to do and if we're not moving in the right direction, how can we do what we need to do for God, ourselves or The Body of Christ. 

Let's take a look at our lives and ask ourselves - Do we feel at peace? Do we have joy in our hearts? Do we have a forgiving heart? Are we loving our neighbor unconditionally? If we can't answer "Yes" to those questions, then we need to take a step back and rebuild our relationship with God.

If you want to be at peace and have joy in your heart, let's start today and pray together,  Heavenly Father, thank you for allowing me to be here and thank you for giving me a second chance, loving me as well as forgiving me for my sins.  Lord help me to rebuild my relationship with you so that I can gain strength, wisdom and the ability to be an example for you and others.  Lord, you are the vine and we're the branches.  please help me to be more like you so that I can have peace in my days and joy in my heart.  In Jesus Name we Pray. Amen and Amen  Thank you Lord.

Being humbled is such a special gift and it teaches us a lot of things.  We all deal with people on our journey and it's very important to be humbled in how we carry ourselves for so many reasons.

First of all, it's a blessing to even be here day after day and we don't know God's plan.  We should never take life for granted or act like it's about us.  It's always good to recognize God's grace.  Each day is a new day and God gives it to us to have joy and to be an example for Him.  Being humble is understanding that and whatever we encounter in our lives or through others, we shouldn't complain or think negatively.

We need to let people be people and control our actions.  Sometimes I think we allow people to get to us or push our buttons but you know that's their life and if it's something they are doing wrong, they will see the light but when we're focused on ourselves or our actions, we can learn to improve with humility and integrity.

So when you're up against a situation that you feel is too much, think about being humbled and just let go and let God.  Humility can do that and bring peace in your life.

Amen and Thank you Jesus

God gave all of us the gift of life to live in this world and we all live it differently on this journey.  God also gives us the ability to live it our own way but He gives us the tools to get through life with joy and happiness day after day.

The tools are His virtues, commandments and the ability to have Faith in Him.  It's a choice.  In life, sometimes we wear so many hats thinking we have to do this and that but in reality all we have to do is listen to God and stay in the presence of Him.  Of course, we have to do what we have to do to survive but we need to stop and think about our lives and what we're doing on this journey. 

The days are short and we don't know what tomorrow may bring.   Sometimes when things are going well we get content but it's even those times that we have to refresh our relationship with God and stay focus.  Let's not get too comfortable because if we get unconnected to the vine, we will get lost and eventually have a difficult time to find our way.  Remember God said, He's the vine and we're the branches and if we remain in Him, we'll bear much fruit and apart from Him we can do nothing.  That's the word.  Think about it.  Thank you Jesus

God gives all us an opportunity to begin again each and every day.  He also gives us grace to be able to live on this journey at peace through the good and the bad.  However, we have to accept the grace in order to receive it in our lives.  I had mentioned  yesterday that it's time to heal and when we accept God's grace and awaken to a new day, it's a second chance to do things better than the day before.

I think most of the time, we worry about what others think and not about what God thinks.  We all need each other and when we come together for God, we all witness his glory and grace.  We have to learn the purpose of why we're here and where we're trying to go and when we're given the opportunity to begin again, we can work towards our purpose and get to the finish line.  So whatever you're dealing with in life or is having a hard time with, let go and let God and know that when we humble ourselves with love and compassion for others, God takes care of our burdens and when we get a second chance to live again, let's take advantage of that and gain wisdom to make today better than yesterday.  Amen

Hello everyone,

Today is a time to heal and work towards being a better person.  We have to understand that this day is not about us and we're only here for God and to do His will the best way we know how.  We don't know Gods plan but what He teaches us is when we love, forgive and sacrifice, we're headed for great things and one of those great things is called peace.

There is so much to benefit from those virtues and this is why we need to continue to work on our relationship with God, make it stronger and humble ourselves more and more everyday.  God gives all of us those opportunities and I know sometimes it's hard but when we can look at things through God's lenses, it gets easier to do.

Let's plan to work on ourselves so we can heal and become more like Jesus for the Body of Christ.  We have to remember when we don't do our part, we damage the body, and the mission set by God is to be disciples so that people can see Him through us. Let's make wise decisions one day at a time but start asking God to guide us to heal.  Amen

Hello every one,
This is Veronica. Finally I'm back and it's so good to be back. I had to take some time to regroup and refresh myself in faith and with God so that's why I had decided to put this on hold until that was done.  Sometimes it's important to do that because it gives us the opportunity to see what we're doing and what we're suppose to be doing in life to keep us on track.

This is truly a new day and I'm so grateful that God gives me another day and another chance to walk on this journey.  You know nothing else in life matters if we don't keep a close relationship with God and try to do what he's asking us to do.  He told us that we're nothing without Him so let's always remember that and take time out for him in our lives.

I've learned that sometimes in life we have to sacrifice and really change some things in order to be a better person.  I say that because it's not about us and when we go through things, we always have to say to ourselves, what would Jesus do or is this about love.

We all have trials that we deal with but we should never give up and always know that even if  things seem chaotic, God is still with us. 

Thank you for listening and know that God loves you, I love you and keep hope alive.
