YOUR GIFTS WILL MAKE ROOM

We all have gifts and talents inside of us. God wants us to use our gifts to the best of our ability. We shouldn't allow people, past disappointments or even our negative thoughts get in the way of God's best for us. Some people say that they don't have any gifts, which is simply not true. If your gifts are not clear to you, then ask God to show you and be willing to tap into them. It's your decision how far you will go in life, so get out of your own way.

A FATHER'S LOVE

GOD BLESS ALL OF THE FATHERS ON TODAY AND EVERY DAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PROTECTING AND PROVIDING FOR YOUR FAMILIES. YOU GIVE US THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON, AND THE ENCOURAGEMENT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD. WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND APPRECIATE YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO.

THE LORD IS THERE ALWAYS

With everything that's going on in the world today (economic crisis, natural disasters, etc.), it's easy to get caught up in fear. Those that know the Lord have no reason to be afraid. He is there for us during trials and tribulations. He will strengthen us through our journey on this earth. Some people have lost so much during this time. But God is the God of restoration. Job trusted God during hard times and got back double of what he lost. Do you trust God with your life? He is always faithful through the storm.

A GOOD FRIEND

What are the keys to being a good friend? John 15:13 says, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends". Friends are there for you in good times and bad. Friends are there to build you up and encourage you. Friends are there to even tell you when you're doing wrong--that's definitely a true friend. Don't be a fair-weather friend. Show yourself to be a real friend, and real friends will be drawn to you.

HONORING THOSE WHO SERVE

A SPECIAL BLESSING GOES OUT TO THOSE SERVING OUR COUNTRY. WE APPRECIATE ALL OF OUR MILITARY, POLICE, FIRE FIGHTERS AND THE LIKE FOR WHAT YOU DO TO KEEP US SAFE. WE HONOR THOSE WHO LIVES WERE LOST, AND THOSE WHO ARE HERE CONTINUING THE FIGHT. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

MAKE HEALTH A PRIORITY

Are you taking good care of yourself? 3 John 1:2 says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth". We must eat right, stay fit, manage stress and get lots of rest. To do the work that God calls us to do, we must have healthy bodies. God cares about how we treat ourselves; our bodies are a gift from Him as well. Some people make the grave mistake of taking care of everyone but themselves; we're no help to others when we don't put ourselves first. Money, fame, power and prestige means nothing when you don't have your health. So make a step towards health every day. Good health is a witness for God.
