Big Results

Small changes eventually add up to big results. ~ Change Quotes ~

It's amazing how a small change in a person's life can add up to big results.

I've known people who have tried to lose weight. They made a small change and gave up drinking sugar pop/soda and had big results.

Our Bible verse talks about starting out small. "And though your beginning was small, your latter days will be very great." Job 8:7

Just think what a big result we could get if we changed our thinking from negative to positive in some areas of our lives.

We can start out by making small changes and if we stick to it, these small changes can add up to big results.

Your Life Will Start To Change

by Kay Heitsch

Your mind is a powerful thing. When you fill it with positive thoughts, your life will start to change. ~ Quotes ~

What we think about has a huge effect on our lives. We can't expect to be happy if we think about all that's wrong in the world and in our life.

Our Bible verse makes this clear. "Be very careful what you think. Your thoughts run your life." Proverbs 4:23.

Our mind is a powerful thing. If we want to move forward in a positive way we need to be very careful about what we think.

You Control Your Own Happiness

by Kay Heitsch

The only keeper of your happiness is you. Stop giving people power to control your joy, your worth and your attitude. ~ You Control Your Own Happiness Quotes ~

We are responsible for our own happiness. We should never put the key to our happiness in someone else's pocket. Happiness is a choice and an inside job.

Our Bible verse says, ...no one can take away your joy. John 16:22. No one can take away our joy so why just hand it over?

Today is a great day to stop giving people and circumstances the power to control our joy and happiness. Let's put Psalms 118:24 into practice. " This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it."

A New Ending

by Kay Heitsch

Don't start each day with the broken pieces of yesterday. Each day is a fresh start and a new beginning. ~ New Beginning Quotes ~

We've all gone through hard times and have had people in our past and even today who have said and done things that were unkind. We do not have to let other people's opinions define us.

We can not go back and start a new beginning, but we can start today and make a new ending.

Our Bible verse says, "For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11 NLT

The LORD has plans for our future. They are plans for good and not for disaster. His plans give us a future and hope. Let's remember that each day is a new beginning to a new ending.

It's A New Day!

by Kay Heitsch

Shake off all those negative thoughts of yesterday. Rise N Shine. It's a new day! ~ Shake It Off Quotes ~

We all go through situations that are not so pleasant. Sometimes we choose to relive these days over and over.

Today's Bible verse says, Casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

When we cast our care it's the same thing as shaking it off. Because God cares for us we can give all our worries and cares to Him.

We can choose to cast our care and shake off these negative thoughts. Let's rise and shine. It's a new day!

Don't Underestimate

by Kay Heitsch

Too Often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, or an honest compliment. ~ Quotes ~

As odd as it seems it is usually the smallest act of caring that can have the biggest impact on someone's life.

Our Bible verse says, "A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so also you must love one another." John 13:34

When we hug, smile, say a kind word, listen and give an honest compliment we are showing love to one another. Let's not underestimate the power of these small acts of caring.

Getting What You Want

by Kay Heitsch

The first step of getting what you want is having the courage to get rid of what you don't want. ~ Get Rid Of Dead Things Quotes ~

Today I was outside getting rid of dead flowers. It can be a pain at times, but I want to have new flowers. I've found if I don't prune off the old it takes longer to for new flowers to grow.

It's like that in life. To get what we really want we need to have the courage to get rid of what we don't. If we want to be more loving we need to prune off things that do no help love to grow. If we want to be happy we need to get rid of self-pity. The list goes on and on.

Our Bible verse today says, "Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit." John 15:2 ESV

The Lord will prune off the things in our lives that do not bear something good. We need to have the courage to let go of the old dead things so we can bear good fruit.
