Don’t allow your Earthly Wealth to hinder you from Respecting Others
Nowadays, people are so caught up in gaining wealth that they forget to remember God’s ways. The standards of this world will tell you to acquire more money to live a successful life, but that’s very different from the way God sees things. He honors those people who know how to obey and follow Him regardless of their status in society. And that’s how God wants us to live. We need to remember that everything we receive in this world is temporary. And the only way for us to gain eternal treasures is by abiding in His ways and not the standards of this world.

When you think Negative Things about Yourself
“I am not worthy. I am a failure. I am a loser. I am not beautiful. I am not smart. I’m so dumb. I’m not enough.” These are just some of the negative thoughts that a person declares to herself. We all go through this season when it seems like we can’t trust ourselves. And it’s not because of what happens around us, but it’s because of the things that are hidden within. What we are doing is like self-ambush. We slowly kill our joy and live in misery. If we don’t stop putting ourselves down, then we can’t help but die on the inside. Your thoughts are more powerful…
