Jesus never did a miracle with the purpose of PROVING anything to anybody. Everything He did was to serve others. He didn't make a reputation while concerned with the superficial, but by being concerned with service. This is an example we need to emulate. No need to proving what you already know - let your service reveal to "them" who you are.

The obstacles you faced in the past did not make you, nor do they define you. This is a myth. Your responses to those obstacles are what have the true influence on who you are now; Correcting the negative images of the "past you" is imperative. How we view our past selves can very well have an impact on how we approach our future.

God can chastise us for us to be stronger, not to harm us. Chastisement may not be joyful, but oftentimes those experiences are what we need for our faith to grow. When your faith grows, you grow.

Too many of us waste our life away waiting for everything to be perfect before we chase our dreams or be obedient to God. You're busy waiting to see "it" so you can move, while God is waiting for you to move so you can begin to see "it." No more waiting - work.

The reason you came down off that spiritual high is not because God wore off. Sometimes the reason we lose the new ideas and messages God has given us is because we still operate with an old mindset. New wine needs new wineskins; God needs your imagination to grow parallel to the visions He's giving you.

When our prayers have aligned with God, God gives us what we ask for. The true mission comes in our process of receiving that blessing. We need the faith and attentive ears needed to follow instructions and not faint. When we realize how God has already given us what we prayed for it helps us to acknowledge the inevitability of our destiny.

Uncertainty gives birth to the type of fear that paralyzes. God doesn't want you to be stuck one place. He needs you to move, He needs you to expect. We need to stop second-guessing ourselves for the sake of the fulfillment of God's promises in our lives.
