There is a lot of hate and misunderstanding in society because so many of us do not love ourselves. That lack of love comes from self-unforgiveness. Either from something we did or something someone else did to us. If God sent his son to forgive us for our sins and loves us unconditionally, then we should be able to forgive and love ourselves.
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” Lewis B. Smedes

Now that the presidential election is over, I pray that as a country we focus on unity as opposed to our differences. No matter who is in office, we must all come together to overcome our collective problems.

"Those who achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well. Today, keep in mind that the smallest of achievements matter, and what may seem to be a small accomplishment, may in fact be the tipping point for greater things to come."

"There are no traffic jams along the extra mile."--Roger Staubach
I'm a New York football fan, which means there is no love lost for the Cowboys but this is a great quote from an NFL legend (who just happened to play for Dallas). All jokes aside, The extra mile is on the road less traveled. It may be longer and filled with challenges but the outcome is far sweeter than taking the easy way out.
Have a great weekend.

"A [person] who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd." Max Lucado
There are certain times along our paths when people in our circle will not understand what we are doing. However, if God has ordained a purpose for your life, it does not matter who is with or against you.

For those of us who have not yet begun to walk in our purpose, the message is simple. Stop second guessing things and waiting for circumstances to change. It is not up to us to figure it out before we even begin. Our faith in God must be greater than our network, bank accounts, education and influence. When God gives vision, he also grants provision. What are you going to start today?

MOTIVATOR of the DAY 11/30/11
Many of us are taught that self confidence is key but as believers, our real confidence rests in God. If we truly believe and trust in His word then there is nothing that can be said or done to us that will deter us. The next time you put up your own roadblock or one is placed in your path, remember that God gave you the gifts to do all things, not through yourself, but through Him.
