Just When I feel Like Giving Up....

Just when I feel like giving up this message from Joel Osteen pops up in my email this morning.  I love Joel Osteen.  He is so positive and uplifting. So is this a sign to keep going and keep moving forward with this dream?  I truly believe in signs so I am going to say yes.  I have written off this past cycle and am going to think positive for Cycle 4.


 

It’s All Still in There TODAY’S SCRIPTURE “For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn” (Romans 11:29, NLT) TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria Today, I want to remind you that you are full of incredible potential. When God created you, He deposited seeds of greatness inside of you. He’s given you your own dreams and desires. You have something to offer that no one else has. But too often, we allow adversities, disappointments and setbacks to push these things down, until one day, we find that we’re not pressing forward anymore. We’re not stretching; we’re not believing to rise any higher. When adversity comes, it’s easy to think, “Why is this happening to me?” The answer is because the enemy knows what’s on the inside of you. He’s going to do everything he can to keep that seed from taking root. But, he will only be successful if you let him. He can’t stop you unless you quit. During the difficult times, remember that the gifts and callings God has placed within you are still there. Don’t become stagnate in pursuing your dreams. It’s time to get your fire back! It’s time to press forward. It’s time to dig deep inside and take hold of the marvelous destiny God has prepared for you! A PRAYER FOR TODAY Father, thank You for the gifts and dreams You’ve placed within me. Today, I release my cares and concerns to You. Give me the strength, wisdom and clarity to keep moving forward so I can boldly embrace the good things You have in store for my future in Jesus’ name. Amen. — Joel & Victoria Osteen
