It is good to hear the words I love you. It is even better when you truly feel loved. Love is more than an expression or a declaration. It is a genuine heartfelt care and concern for someone that is demonstrated through your actions. It is standing by them when everyone else falls away. It is being there during the good and bad times. Love can heal every hurting place and fill every empty space. True love that is authentic and genuine will stand the test of time. It will recover from any storm. Let your actions match what you profess. Don’t just say it, show it. Our greatest example of love is, God’s unconditional love towards us. God loved us so much, that He gave His only begotten son to us as a living sacrifice. God put His love into action. He continuously displays His love towards us. Be a mirror image of the love that you have so graciously received. ADaubon
Do not quit before you get your breakthrough. If we judge by what we think, see and feel, we can become disheartened. Don’t give up, what may seem impossible for you is God’s opportunity to do the miraculous. Don’t allow anyone to set limits on you, don’t set limits on yourself, and never put God in a box. God can breathe life back into all that you have considered to be over. It is not over until God says it is over. God can open doors that appear nailed shut. He can bring to pass what some have told you would never happen. He can extend your life when all the medical opinions say otherwise. He can confound the doctors and leave all the doubters dumbfounded. Those that counted you out will be in awe of what the Lord does on your behalf. Give God the most challenging circumstances and struggles in your life and watch God move. Declare and believe God will do the unimaginable in your life. He is faithful. In your darkest moment, He will be the light. He can turn any situation around. Keep the faith. Hold on and don’t let go. Watch God do the impossible. ADaubon
There will be many people who try to attach themselves to you for various reasons. Some may be sincere, but others may be seeking personal gain. There are people who are on assignment in your life by God to uplift and support you on your journey. Others may be on a whole different mission and are allowing the enemy to use them to wreak havoc in your life. Be prayerful regarding the company you keep and those whom you allow in your personal space and inner circle. Stop entertaining relationships that you know are not beneficial to your spiritual or emotional growth and overall well-being. Be careful who you allow to pour into your life with their words or actions. Take inventory of those whom you give your time and energy. Don’t allow yourself to be led astray by the snares of the enemy. Refuse to be lured into activities that are in opposition to who God desires you to be. By no means does this imply that you act like you are better than anyone. Simply make better choices. ADaubon
“No one is like you, Lord; you are great, and your name is mighty in power.” Jeremiah 10:6. You are great because you serve a great God who dwells on the inside of you. He has called you to make your mark in the world and do great things. Don’t doubt your capabilities because of negative thoughts or comments. Don’t dwell on your disappointments to the point where they paralyze your potential. Don’t compare yourself to others. You are a designer’s original. Be who God has called you to be. Be confident in the great God who called you and go forth and do extraordinary things. Find your passion and live with purpose. Don’t delay, there is greatness inside of you. A.Daubon
The task given to Paul certainly was no walk in the park. He was persecuted and faced many challenges. He was an unlikely candidate to have such an effective evangelistic ministry. In spite of his past history and prior persecution of believers God chose Him as a forerunner in the faith. First, God uses whom he chooses. We can never discount anyone. For none of us are worthy. He calls us in spite of all our flaws. Secondly, just as God gave Paul assurance for the assignment and calling on his life, the same provision is for those whom He calls today. When God gives us an assignment He foreknew all the difficulties we would encounter. Often we are sent to places where we face great opposition. Nevertheless, if God has sent you, He will certainly give provision and protection for the journey. Paul was faithful to his assignment because of his absolute love for Christ and his divine encounter with Him. He fulfilled the tasks assigned to him with joy and a reverent heart, regardless of the obstacles. He stood on the promises of God that He would be with him and that He had prepared the way. We too, can stand on the promises of God. Wherever God charts your course, trust Him to clear the path for victory. Say yes to the journey and let Him get the glory. ADaubon
After the death of Moses, Joshua becomes his successor. God encourages him in his assignment. We have to believe God has prepared us for where He sends us. When He calls you to do something, He placed everything in you to accomplish the mission. As you completely rely and depend on Him to complete the task given to you, He will be your source of guidance, strength and protection. It does not matter what obstacles that come your way, God chose you, so go forth with boldness. If you stop and think too long on the magnitude or weight of the undertaking or responsibility you can allow fear and trepidation to plant seeds of doubt. After seeds of doubt have taken root, it can become a form of discouragement and a hindrance to you moving forward. Don’t let fear stop you from walking in your calling. When you have assurance that God is always with you, you will go wherever He sends you. Be confident in what God will do in and through you. God is with you and will never leave you. Know that God has a calling for each of us. He is the one using us as instruments and vessels to fulfill His will, plan and purpose. Be encouraged and keep pressing forward. A.Daubon
During the most challenging time in Job’s life he was greatly disappointed in those whom he considered to be his closest friends. When he looked for compassion, encouragement and comfort he was met with everything but. Job stood up to them and let them know how they had failed at being true friends. Often in life we will be let down by individuals whom we expect to be there for us. There can be many reasons why people miss the mark when we need them most. Maybe, they are going through things of their own or because of their lack of understanding as to what God is doing in your life they are unable to effectively be a supportive friend. Sometimes God removes individuals from our life on purpose, so we can learn to rely on Him instead of our closest allies. When God reveals the character of those around you, believe it. Hold no grudges because we all miss the mark sometimes in life. Don’t become bitter, for that is not the will of God. Forgive and keep living. Most importantly be kind and don’t ever stop allowing God to love others through you. Be the type of friend that you desire. A.Daubon
