God has planted eternity in the human heart. He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. – Ecclesiastes 3:11 This life is not all there is. Life on earth is
Change requires new thinking. In order to change, we must learn the truth and start making good choices, but we also must change the way we think. The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act. If you want to change the way you act,
Often we’re afraid of making the wrong decision, and that creates stress. Maybe you’re facing a decision about a major issue: “Should I hold on, or should I let go?” “Should I get in, or should I get out?” “Should I get married?” “Should I find a new job?” “Should I move?” When you can’t
God is far more interested in changing my mind than changing my circumstances. We want God to take away all of the problems, pain, sorrow, suffering, sickness, and sadness.

When God gives me a mission, I can be sure I’ll run into delays, difficulties, detours, and dead ends along the way. They are a natural part of life. But can I be ready for them? Don’t give up on our dream, either. Don’t give up on our relationships. Don’t give up on our health.
Whether I recognize it or not, i am not the only one walking around with hurts, scars and open wounds. Anxiety can rob us of the enjoyment of life. The causes of anxiety are numerous: health, work (or lack of it), finances (debt, unpaid bills and so on) and much else besides. Pain… whether it
Change requires making choices. It’s not enough to dream of changing. It’s not enough to desire change. In order for us to change, we will need to make a decision. We must choose to change. Change is intentional. Are we going to be any different in six months? Are we going to be better a
