I remember when I was still growing as a christian and I always like to play tough love, because I did not really like people knowing how I really felt about them. Trust me it did not feel good at all because people will always threat you the way you threat them, if you don't show people how much you care about them they will always treat you the same. Learn to smile, laugh, act like the world is watching you and you are trying to show them you are the most happiest person in the world.

    Some people say this generation has it harder than any generation before. They say there is too much evil out there, too many things going against them. They say this generation will never make it. Well, I think about Moses in scripture. He was never intended to make it. Moses wasn't even supposed to be alive! He was supposed to be killed as soon as he was born, and God miraculously spared his life.

 
 Yes dream do come true, it all started from when I decided to believe in myself and believe in what I can do. Everybody will not always agree with your kind of person or what you do but always know that life is all about giving, and if you are giving love and joy it will always come back to you. Do give love and joy because that is all that matters.

You Can Choose How You Think

Although we don’t always have the power to change every unpleasant circumstance in our lives, we do have the power to change our outlook. Nobody enjoys a troubling or painful circumstance, but I've found if we look at it in a hopeful, faith-filled way, we can watch God work all things out for our good (see Romans 8:28).

Enjoying life begins with the thoughts you choose to think. Yes, it is that simple! No matter what is going on in your life today, if you will choose happy, hope-filled thoughts based on God’s Word, you will feel happier. Our thoughts are intricately connected to our feelings, so if we want to feel better, we need to think better.

     Have you ever heard someone say, “Something needs to change!” Or maybe you've said it yourself. It’s easy to feel this way when life gets stressful and we're overwhelmed — like when our schedules are too full and we're working too hard and have too many commitments.

So what do we do when life is out of order and we need a change? Much of the time we complain and say we want change, yet we don’t do anything about it. We know something needs to change, but we get stuck in procrastination or a passive mode, waiting for someone else to do what we need to do. Some people get angry, some have a victim mentality and blame others for their mess, some get depressed, and others just sink into self-pity.

1) HOPELESSNESS: 

    One of the worst symptoms of depression is a feeling of hopelessness,” says counselor Jaime W. Vinick. Feelings of hopelessness can discourage people from seeking treatment for their depression.

1. Put God's Word in Your Heart

Begin the sanctification process by putting God’s Word in your heart. Read it, believe it, study it, memorize it, think on it, and obey it. Start by establishing a time of daily Bible reading. Some Bibles provide a schedule to help you read through God’s Word in a year.

 

  There is only one remedy I know of to avoid being a people pleaser and that is learning to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in all we do. That is one of the most exciting things about being a Christian.

As believers, the Holy Spirit lives inside us. He desires to lead us in everything we do, from how we handle our finances, to the type of job we have, to the house we live in, to what we do or don’t do for others. He does not want to just be involved with the spiritual side of our lives; He wants to be involved with the natural side of our lives too.

by Joyce Meyer

…And you will be given a new name by the Lord’s own mouth. Never again will you be called “The Forsaken City” or “The Desolate Land.” Your new name will be “The City of God’s Delight” and “The Bride of God,” for the Lord delights in you and will claim you as his bride. 
(Isaiah 62:2, 4 NLT)

Have you ever noticed all the people throughout the Bible that God gave a fresh start? Moses was an old man before he had an encounter with a burning bush and was called by God to lead a nation. Then David, a humble shepherd boy, was anointed to be the king of Israel. Peter, the apostle who denied Christ, was forgiven and called to spend the rest of his life preaching and glorifying God. And Paul, who once persecuted God’s people, was transformed on the road to Damascus and ended up writing much of the New Testament.

   

In much the same way, you and I go through spiritually dormant seasons. These are the seasons when God seems silent…when our dreams and visions for the future seem lifeless. But although we may not see or feel anything exciting, it doesn’t mean nothing is happening. A lot has to happen on the inside of us before we are ready to handle the future God has for us.

      Happy New Year and welcome to 2016! So often, at the first part of any new year, people are coming out of the daze of the holiday season feeling focused, determined and ready to accomplish their goals and resolutions. But if we're not careful, before long, we'll find ourselves slipping back into our old routines and habits. Why don't you decide that this year is going to be different! Let this year be the year for you to break free from those things that have held you back once and for all. God desires for you to be free from every weight and bondage of the past. However, before you can change your behavior, you have to change what you're thinking and saying. Your thoughts and words clear the path for your actions.
