Be Who You Are

"Be who you are! Your value doesn't come from people. Your value comes from your Creator." ~ Quotes ~

Today's Bible verse in Ephesians 2:10 tells us, "For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." Ephesians 2:10 NLT

We don't need to get our value in what other people think or say about us. We don't need to get our worth and value in what we own, our education, or anything else.

Our worth and value comes from what God says about us. He says we are His masterpiece! People may not see us as a masterpiece, but that doesn't matter. It's how God sees us that matters. After all He has our names written on the palms of His hands. (See Isaiah 49:16)

Be who you are! You are God's masterpiece! He has a plan for you!

Run Your Own Race

"The race is on and down the stretch they come! Run your own race. God has a specific path for you, where you will excel." Quotes

Since today is the Kentucky Derby I was thinking about racing. We are all in our own race. God has a specific path for all of us where we will excel.

Today's Bible verse Hebrews 12:1 tells us we are "surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses." We are to throw off everything that gets in our way and run the race that is set before us.

We need to keep in mind that people are watching. Not only on earth, but I think this verse is talking about in the heavenly realm as well.

Run your own race! You are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses. Remember, God has a specific path for you where you can excel.

Today Is The Beginning

 by Kay Heitsch

"Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow." Why? Because today is the beginning of the rest of your life.

There's another quote I like. It goes something like this. Do something today that your future self will thank you for.

We aren't going to change overnight, but we can all do something that will help us inch closer to a better tomorrow.

We can ask, "God, create a pure heart in me, and renew a right attitude within me." Psalm 51:10 ISV. A pure heart and right attitude would be a great start today for a better tomorrow.

The beginning is always today! We can't go back and start a new beginning, but we can do something today that will inch us closer to a better tomorrow.

Let today be a new beginning. Do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow. Your future self will thank you for it.

What Do They Think?

by Kay Heitsch

Life is too short to worry about what other people say or think of you. You are unique with great possibilities. You are what God knows you are. ~ Quotes ~

Today I read that the UNhappiest people are those who are always concerned what other people are thinking about them. It also said the greatest prison people live in is the fear of what others are thinking. It's time for people to be set free!

I love this verse in Proverbs, "It is dangerous to be concerned with what others think of you, but if you trust the Lord, you are safe." Proverbs 29:25 GNT

No kidding it is very dangerous to always be worried about what other people are thinking or saying about us. Why be twisted up like a pretzel trying to fit into what we think others want us to be.

Life is too short to worry about what others think or say about us. Once we realize that it's actually dangerous to be concerned what others are thinking we can be free to be the unique person God has created us to be.

Once In A Lifetime Day!

by Kay Heitsch

This day is a once in a lifetime day. Be the cheerful person who is like a sunny day spreading brightness all around. ~Sunny Day Quotes ~

Today is a once in a lifetime day! We will never get this day back again. So how should we spend it?

I like to be around people who smile and are cheerful. They seem to spread brightness all around. I'm sure we all do.

The Bible says, This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 NASB

Today is our once in a lifetime day. We can be the cheerful person who keeps happy thoughts in our minds and shares sunny smiles. We can do this when we remember, This is the day the Lord has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it!

Wishing you a day full of sunny smiles and happy thoughts.

Trust and Believe

 by Kay Heitsch

You can't upload love and you can't download time. You can't Google all your answers in life. So just live your life and trust and believe in God. ~ Trust Quotes ~

We can save ourselves a lot of stress when we trust and believe in God. How can we know if we are really trusting and believing?

The Bible says, "For we who have believed do enter into rest...Hebrews 4:3

We know when we are really trusting and believing because we enter the rest of God. We aren't upset and worried. We are at rest trusting and believing God no matter what we are going through.

When we trust and believe God we can live life in rest. What an awesome way to live!

What Are You Full Of?

by Kay Heitsch

Your mind is a powerful thing when you fill it with positive thoughts. Don't ruin a good day by thinking of a bad yesterday. Let it go! ~ Quotes ~

If we're not happy we need to ask ourselves, "What are you full of?" If we're full of negative thoughts (anger, bitterness, jealousy, regret, etc)  we need to empty these thoughts out of our mind. We then need to replace them with some good thoughts (love, joy, peace,forgiveness, etc). If we're full of negative thoughts how on earth can we be happy?

Negative thoughts are poison. They can actually make us sick mentally and physically!  We need to flush out the poison of negative thinking just like we would a bad bacteria.

Like this verse in Proverbs says,"Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts." Proverbs 4:23 GNT

If we want to have a happy life we need to realize that our mind is a powerful thing when we fill it with positive thoughts. We shouldn't ruin a good day by thinking of a bad yesterday. Let it go!
