Maybe you’ve only heard what you can’t do, how you don’t measure up, “You don’t have what it takes; just accept where you are.” Don’t let that keep you from the greatness of God. Because you’re obedient, the Lord is making you a thousand times more.
Too many people who talk about a lack of “affordable housing” seem to think that this is something the government must build or subsidize. It never seems to occur to them that government activity is itself one of the biggest reasons for housing being unaffordable. Nor are they likely to check out the fact that housing is far more affordable in communities where the government is not nearly so active.
Don’t go through life with a small vision, thinking you’ve reached your limits. Try a different approach. Every morning say, “Father, thank You for a thousand times more.” That’s your faith being released. That’s what allows God to exceed your expectations.
Friendly reminder that a lifestyle business can be one in which you work every hour you’re awake.
It’s about the freedom to choose not the obligation to conform.
Your eyes must be on the larger trends that govern events, on that which is not immediately visible. Never lose sight of your long-term goals. With an elevated perspective, you will have the patience and clarity to reach almost any objective.
Your ancestors survived centuries of floods, wars, famine, slavery, and plagues for you to sit on the toilet and compare your life to people on the internet who you’ve never met.
Be grateful.
