As for me, this is my covenant with them," says the LORD. "My Spirit, who is on you, will not depart from you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants — from this time on and forever," says the LORD.

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.

If you don't have a dream, get around people who do. You might just catch what they have.

Your dream is more than a dream. It's a calling. Sure, someone hired you and someone can fire you. But they didn't call you. God did. And if you forget that fact, you forget why you do what you do and Who you do it for.

But if you allow God to translate your adversity into a ministry, then your pain becomes someone else's gain.

if you keep sowing the right seeds, the harvest of blessing will come in God's time, in God's way!

Es difícil no orar con fe cuando se está orando en un lugar donde Dios ya ha hecho un milagro.

Si el ayer es historia y el mañana es un misterio, ¡sácale jugo al día! Si aprovechas el día de hoy, el mañana se hace cargo de sí mismo.

So how do we conserve the momentum of God's blessing? At the risk of sounding like a memorandum issued by the department of redundancy department, the only way to maintain momentum is to flip the blessing. If we fail to flip the blessing, we hit the point of diminishing return. Eventually, we lose all spiritual momentum and wonder why. I'll tell you exactly why: God doesn't bless selfishness.

I'm not convinced that your date of death is the date carved on your tombstone. Most people die long before that. We start dying when we have nothing worth living for.

You don't become a praying parent by default. You do it by design, by desire, by discipline.
