- Shortly after obtaining a degree in business, Jay Shetty decided to become a monk. Not only was this an unusual move, but it was met with strong disapproval from both family and friends. Still, Jay felt compelled to follow this calling, and today Jay is a #1 New York Times bestselling author, hosts a leading health podcast, and is lauded as a mindfulness leader by millions of people around the world. In this episode, Jay tells Alex about feeling completely lost at multiple times in his career, and how holding true to his values helped navigate his way through immense imposter syndrome and nearly running out of money.

How do I get the will to live? Where do I get the power to look forward to wake up every day? Growing up I confused anxiety with nervously... Never talk about my feelings... I would focused my life to study (still do). However, now I know I've been dealing with depression my whole life and it became part of me... Now I don't know what I live for... Why do I have to live? How can I overcome that factor of not wanting to live?
The day I went to the high school looking to have a conversation with my ex principal I had already been in danger for quite sometime. That was the last place I wanted to visit because I knew the risk. It was my WORST FEAR coming true. That night when I got home I had a full break in my mental health. I understand why my brother didn’t want to comfort me now even tho I didn’t get it in the moment. It is quite literally us against them as much as I hate that mentality. I could lost my life that day for no reason. As they approached me at my uncles house they were purposely confusing me and gripping their weapons. There have been so many attacks. I prepared myself for the worst that night because inside my home and outside my house there was ❤IMMEDIATE DANGER❤ my brother and I talked it out the other night and he was kind of just like of course you wouldn’t hurt us Tehya we just didn’t know what to do. And I forgive him. We’re doing much better now. ❤❤❤❤❤

"Passion + Expertise + Usefulness = Purpose" - Jay Shetty
"Faithfulness tends to be a one-sided expectation for many believers. They expect God's faithfulness in their lives, but reciprocating faithfulness back to Him is not often portrayed or demonstrated genuinely..
'His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord,' (Matthew 25:23).
Many Christians claim to be faithful to the "work of God," but can't see that their faithfulness is really to the work they choose to do for God, not necessarily the work He desires to do through them, to fulfill His will.
There is a great divide in where faithfulness lies among many believers in the Body of Christ. Some are faithful to their service to people above their service to God. How can you really love and serve God without considering what He desires? Without considering His will and His expected outcome? Being faithful to God should not be second place to anything else in our lives!! Without Him, we are completely nothing.. Walking with Him should be first! Seeking Him should be first! Loving Him should be first!! Only then will we truly be able to be faithful to the infamous quoted scripture, 'thy will be done!'
Faithfulness is not just about what we receive from God, but it is how we serve and give back to Him..!"
~David E. Taylor~
wouldn't say this helped with finding purpose but to be fearless
Listening to this just totally calms me after a day that really damaged us❤I put in so much good work today now I can chill
U r Great 👍
Just going outside feels like a risk I’ve been scared. I’ve been so afraid. And fear turns into the vulgar language ❤
Be careful for what you wish for!
The problem is the attitudes we hold when we don't respond well to failures, circumstances, and trials.
“Being humble does not mean that you are depressed, but that you are humbling yourself for the sake of others. You reduce yourself from your original position just to bless somebody else. That’s not easy, when the flesh is full of pride, because pride desires promotion, to be seen, and to show off. Humility is the opposite. Humility teaches you to voluntarily abase yourself.”
~David E. Taylor~
“...he that shall humble himself shall be exalted” (Matthew 23:12)
Don’t Give Up On The Things God Has Placed In Your Heart. Keep Pushing & Paying He Will Direct You.

Love you Bhai 💘
“In most Christian circles, it has become routine to point out people’s sins above God’s love, compassion, and forgiveness of those sins and to see the person be restored and preserved.
‘... for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night,’ (Revelation 12:9-11).
Let’s face it, Satan legally goes before God - day and night - with accusations, charges, and judgments against everyone! Remember, ALL have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. However, we have an advocate, named JESUS, and with His Blood, He is pleading on our behalf!! Glory to God!
‘And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous,’ (1 John 2:1).
When will the “church” become like Christ? Leaving the 99 to rescue the one that is lost, instead of isolating and cutting them off from hope, faith, and love?? Religious people think that if you say, ‘love covers sin,’ you are excusing people... Well, didn’t Jesus’ Blood pardon you, I, and the WHOLE world of sin?? LOVE covered us and our sin even before we were saved. If it wasn’t for love, we would be facing the consequences of the judgments that Satan legitimately brings before God against us every single day. Not one would be saved.
‘And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins,’ (1 Peter 4:8).
I challenge you today to really pursue love and what it DOES, so you can become one who genuinely loves like God and helps save and preserve souls, instead of severing and abandoning them... LOVE precedes the HARVEST!! It’s about SOULS..!”
~David E. Taylor~
"Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established," (Proverbs 16:3).
Many people struggle with commitment which keeps them from ever being established in relationships, character, business, ministry, and in integrity.
"Commit" is defined as: Carry out, do, perform, perpetrate, engage in, enact, execute, effect, accomplish; be responsible for.. Entrust, trust, commend, deliver, give over, hand over, turn over, relinquish... Pledge, devote, dedicate.
Strong's defines "commit" as: to roll.
Are you still too dependent upon your works and your performance, that you have not committed them to the Lord? Until you get to the place of committing everything over to God, He can't establish the way you think. There has to be a complete surrender and a commitment to give Him everything. The work we do, the good deeds, achievements, labor, and even talents we have.
"Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass," (Psalm 37:5).
When we commit what we are and who we are to the Lord, He establishes our thoughts and brings things to pass! Keep your heart fixed on Jesus and your mind set on Him!! When you do, you shall find flawless victory, peace, and joy..!" ~David E. Taylor~
Folsom friend. I miss learning from you.
"Stop procrastinating! Prepare Yourself!! Trust and obey before the rain comes!!
Obedience to God's commands brings security, protection, and provision!! No matter what the opinions of people are around you, always listen to, obey, and do what God says! There is no provision for you in procrastination or the opinions of people, no matter how much they profess to love and care for you, they will never know the fulness of what God has planned, prepared, and purposed for you. Do not let the influence of other people's opinions cause you to disobey God and miss the boat!!
'...Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams,' (1 Samuel 15:22).
'Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone,' (James 2:17).
'But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD,' (Genesis 6:8).
Step out, be bold and courageous, and without fear do what God has said to you to do. Obey Him and be prepared to receive His divine protection, provision, favor, and grace as you do..!"
~David E. Taylor~
So true
The truth in full vulnerability is that I’m entirely ashamed of my language I’ve been using but I’m entirely proud of my actual actions. ❤

"Daughters of Destiny,
It's time to CARE again!! I don't mean for you to take on cares that Jesus told you to cast on Him, I mean to really have compassion and to genuinely care about and love yourself & others..
I know many of you have endured some painful things, but no matter what or who it is that has caused you to stop caring, God says,
‘LET GO.. holding on to the pain is preventing your growth in Me! It's preventing you from walking into the fulness of your divine destiny, and it's preventing My love from being expressed through you to the people you are supposed to reach for Me!'
'And of some have compassion, making a difference,' (Jude 1:22).
Giving up prevents you from fulfilling all God designed and purposed you to execute.. You are more than a conqueror, so be compassionate, and courageously choose to care, because love never fails and God's love will surely never fail you..!"
~David E. Taylor~
"Contrary to today's popular opinion and belief, love was never meant to come and go, because love IS!! Unfortunately, people tend to base love on emotions and feelings rather than it being a way of life.. Mostly because their hearts are conditioned by people and not by God. See, we can't escape God's love... no matter what good or bad thing we say or do. People justify escaping the responsibility of love because of the pain they feel. No matter how badly someone hurts you, you can't let that pain influence your love. My friend, I know that is not an easy thing to do, according to your flesh, but with God and only with God it is possible!
'... God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him,' (1 John 4:16).
Most people have never really experienced the love of God for themselves in an up close and personal way, because they are still clinging to religion and are void of relationship. Religion isn't love, God is!! Religion fails, God doesn't!! Religion keeps score of your rights and wrongs, but love redeems you from them! Your flesh will convince you that if you are hurting it is only 'right' to hurt others.. but that is not God's heart or His way. It's not cliche to say... LOVE NEVER FAILS... it's the absolute truth!! God is love and He never fails.
'... Charity never faileth' (1 Corinthians 13:8)
'And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity,' (1 Corinthians 13:13).
Remember, you can only give what you have... Precious ones, surrender your pain and your hurt and receive God's unfailing love today... and start giving it away! I can assure you that when you do you will know love like you never have known HIM before and you will start seeing pain defeated by His Amazing LOVE..!!"

Hey Jay, I am from India... I have one question to ask which is.... background story is this that i am still working on my professional life want be an officer, currently working as a teacher and have to manage my teaching stuff and my own preparation.... as i am on my spiritual journey... when i am awaken I somehow keep my self calm and focused, but this getting up from bed always makes me feel like I am late.... I am late...... alarming all the time....whenever i get up from
my sleep
i am discovering the reason for being anxious whenever i get up from sleep be it in the morning or in the afternoon after a short nap.... i always get up like... i am running behind of something.....what is it??? I am not able to figure it out.... can you suggest me something so that i can figure this thing.... i tried to do meditation but i am not good at it yet.... so it will be every kind of you if you can put your thought into it and advise me some practise..........🙏
The answer is in you❤️ Meditate more, you can’t be bad at it. It is about paying attention to what comes to mind and staying in it longer, so it will reveal it self. It probably won’t happen right away, not after an hour, a week or a month. Patience 🙏🏻❤️
I’m ashamed that I popped off on my phone. The hackers don’t deserve that precious energy❤ and I stooped low I felt I had to but I really don’t
“Words either produce a harvest or a famine. I’m sure that every person reading this has experienced the power of words whether they attributed to pain or pleasantness. For some, words of pleasantness provoked their hearts to shine brighter and stronger, high above the words of pain. For others, it has not been so easy to let go of the piercing pain that triggered rejection, insecurity, heartache, offense, bitterness, and even betrayal.
‘Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof,’ (Proverbs 18:21).
Your words have the power to produce life or to end it and they will carry on and last longer than we will. Will they reap a harvest or a famine? Will they shoot people down or raise them up? Will they kill or will they initiate & sustain life!!? Some people crave power so much, and to be in control, they use words to come against the lives of God’s people and their divine purposes.
However, you have a choice and the power to overturn the verdict of negative and hurting words!! What will you choose? Life or death..?”
~David E. Taylor~
"No matter where you come from, who has rejected you and even despised you, the mistakes you have made, or the lifestyle you have lived up until now... Jesus accepts you as you are!!
Just like the woman at the well, many of you are thirsty for the living water of Christ! You are wondering if you will ever be noticed or appreciated.. Daughters, you do not have to wonder any longer!! God notices you! He sees you and the scars you have tried to burry and cover up.. He sees the pain and the rejection you have endured.. and He is saying to you right now.. 'I accept you as you are and I am not inhibited or limited by your past. I am here to make all things new for you and to turn your ashes into pure beauty!'
'But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life,' (John 4:14).
My prayer for all of you is that you will choose to DRINK from the well of living water and never thirst again..!"
~David E. Taylor~
Many new Christians have experienced certain kinds of attacks when a being pins them to their bed and they want to cry out to jesus, but something seems to be stuck, and they can't speak, until they call on Jesus with their spirits, then it breaks.
God allows these evil spirits to wrestle you so you can gain strength in the spirit and learn how to exercise your spiritual power. These are very low-ranking demons that seem powerful, because your spirit and power is not strong yet.
"For our light affliction which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory, "(2 Corinthians 4:17).
When you become a spiritual prince, you obtain power with both God and man. You can identity become a prince in the spirit, similarly to becoming an apostle, prophet, pastor, or a bishop in the spirit, the first thing that happens is you start winning wrestling matches.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places, "(Ephesians 6:12).
What you call a major attack, God calls a light affliction that is actually working for your good and giving you more weight in the spirit. Every year, through trials and wrestling matches, you should shift into a higher spiritual weight class.
- written in the book (The Wings of the Morning) By Apostle David E. Taylor
“Women of Purpose,
I know some women love to talk.. so much so that they’ll talk to anyone.. but God wants you to talk to Him!
‘The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them,’ (Psalm 145:18-19).
The problem with you talking with anyone is that you receive more than you should. It’s likely that as many women as you go to, ‘to talk,’ you will get that many different responses. I’m not saying there isn’t the potential for some wise counsel in that mix, but in your vulnerability you may only receive the parts that serve your feelings, emotions, and experiences instead of your purpose and destiny.
God doesn’t play on your emotions just so you’ll like or follow Him.. He is crazy about you and desires your friendship, fellowship, petition, supplication, and above all your love, adoration, and trust!
Don’t jeopardize your destiny by listening to people who don’t understand or agree with God’s plan and purpose for you!
You can call upon the Lord at anytime and know that He hears you and He is for you, not some of the time, but every time..!” ~David E. Taylor~
"Have you found yourself feeling down, out, or not worthy of what God has already freely given you? The devil wants to find every area of your life that lacks God's joy and try to take you to a place that remembers your pain, fear, and depression.. I am here to remind you that the joy of the Lord is your strength! Daughters, delight yourself in the Lord and remember there are no circumstances you face that can prevent His joy from breaking through into every situation you encounter!!
'... for the joy of the Lord is your strength,' (Nehemiah 8:10).
God has given you His divine power over the enemy - and it is His JOY that NEVER runs out! Stand on the Word of God, walk in His truth, and know you are destined for greatness!!"
~David E. Taylor~
“You can appear to be Successful and not be Obedient, but you can’t be genuinely Obedient and not be Successful!!
‘But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you,’ (Jeremiah 7:23).
Many are deceived by “success.” There is such a drive and a push for people to do things that make them appear successful before men, even if that means they are not obedient to God. It doesn’t just deceive the people around the seemingly successful person, it deceives the person who believes they are successful, without complete obedience.
In this age, if people don’t see immediate success, it is common for them to quit abruptly or change their course. These traits are not that of a genuinely obedient person. Obedient people stay where God plants them.. they become rooted and grounded in love.. and they bear much fruit for the kingdom and for the harvest!
‘Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing,’ (Psalm 92:13-14).
My prayer for you today is that you do not choose to bypass the process of obedience to have an appearance of success, but that you endure and obey the process for your purpose in love, and receive the promises of God both here and for all of eternity..!!” ~David E. Taylor~
“Women of Destiny,
It is never too late to fulfill the assignment that God predestined for you!
No matter what you’ve been through, how much you’ve backslidden or rebelled, or how off track of God’s path you are, there is always hope!
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end,” (Jeremiah 29:11).
The world will “cancel” people when their sins are exposed, but God is a God of second chances! His love and compassion do not fail and His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:21-23).
Your current circumstances are not indicative of your future.
Always remember, there is never any reason to give up!”
-David E. Taylor
“The Condition of Your Heart Determines Your Perception!
God teaches everyone about the Kingdom, but He seals the revelation in parables from those that do not have the right heart, so they do not understand what He is saying. They have eyes, but can’t see.. their hearts make them blind to God.
“Hear now this, O foolish people, and without understanding; which have eyes, and see not; which have ears, and hear not,” (Jeremiah 5:21).
Jesus does not waste His time with hardhearted people. He does not give mysteries or cast pearls before arrogant and religious people, who will turn around and fight Him, like the religious leaders did during His earthly ministry.
“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you,” (Matthew 7:6).
I was always shocked when people that I taught and ministered to for years, would suddenly betray and walk away, until the day the Lord revealed to me that their hearts were hardened from the beginning. Hardhearted people always question the process.. “I just don’t understand this...” “I’m struggling with that...” “I need to repent for attacking you in this area..” These people betray when personal correction takes place. I saw this happen with a young man who followed my ministry for 3 years. He despised the process that God was taking him through, betrayed, and lost everything that God blessed him with, through my life and ministry.
It is very sad to see people who are too arrogant to see the condition and perception of the evil in their heart. Religion can’t circumcise your heart, in fact, many times it adds to its hardness. Fully surrendering your heart to God is the only way for Him to circumcise it!! We must diligently work on our hearts, otherwise, we forfeit our faith and break rank with the Lord..!” ~David E. Taylor~

(Futur)
"Harboring offense, being unforgiving, bitterness, and betrayal are all forms of settling for LESS than the price Jesus paid with His life and Blood to make you eternally FREE!
If everything that opposes you results in offense, unforgiveness, bitterness, and betrayal, you are not growing and maturing in the love of God. In fact, you are settling and cementing yourself in Satan's eternal traps and snares. You must learn that no matter what you go through, God ALREADY sent His Son to pay the price for your victory! Therefore, He will see you through EVERY controversy, if you believe, receive, and set your heart of love and thanksgiving upon Him!
Don't forget that it was NOT your blood or life that paid the ultimate debt to set people FREE.. JESUS PAID IT ALL.. because He is LOVE!! Contrary to self-righteousness and religious opinion, He also paid it for those you have ought against..!
“Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law,” (Romans 13:8).
Friends, more than ever before, develop a heart to LOVE others so you can look like Jesus and stay out of debt!! The world will know we are Christ's disciples by our love one for another, not by our knowledge, offenses, bitterness, unforgiveness, judgments, or jealousy.. Jesus came to SAVE, not to condemn.. What are you doing with the BLOOD that Jesus spilled to save you??
“But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses,” (Matthew 6:15).
Salvation was FREE to us, and let's not forget that Jesus PAID the PRICE while we were yet sinners! It is completely arrogant and selfish for anyone to receive this kind of mercy, grace, and unfailing love, without understanding the need to GIVE it to ALL!!
Many are foolishly settling and stewing in their debt of bitterness, offense, and unforgiveness, because they think they are right and everyone else is wrong.. The greater truth is: LOVE is ALWAYS right! Burn the scorecards you hold against others, because no matter how righteous you think you are, God won't forgive your debts until you forgive your debtors! Now, that’s the power of real love..!"
~David E. Taylor~
"The Holy Spirit leads and guides us into all truth, and in addition to Jesus, He comforts us! He also shows us things that are to come. Which is why it is so important to develop the fruits of the Sprit in our heart and character. They will strengthen us in our process and help us attain our divine purpose and destiny.
'But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law,' (Galatians 5:22-23).
Despite talking about how much we desire to be more like Jesus or answering the infamous question, 'what would Jesus do,' the truth is, without the fruit of the Holy Spirit operating in our lives we will fail miserably in our attempts to become more like Jesus, never mind understanding what He would do in every situation.
Religion bases everything Jesus would do, on the law, but when we look at the fruit of the Spirit... 'against such there is no law.' Let's take a closer look at the meaning of each of these fruits.
According to Strong's:
• love is: love that is affection or benevolence; specifically (plural) a love feast: - (feast of) charity ([-ably]) dear love.)
• joy is: cheerfulness that is calm delight: - gladness X greatly (X be exceedingly) joy (-ful - fully - fulness - ous).
• peace is: Probably from a primary verb (to join); peace (literally or figuratively); by implication prosperity: - one peace quietness rest + set at one again.
• longsuffering is: longanimity that is (objectively) forbearance or (subjectively) fortitude: - longsuffering patience.
• gentleness is: usefulness that is moral excellence (in character or demeanor): - gentleness good (-ness) kindness.
• goodness is: goodness that is virtue or beneficence: - goodness.
• faith is: persuasion that is credence; moral conviction (of religious truth or the truthfulness of God or a religious teacher) especially reliance upon Christ for salvation; abstractly constancy in such profession; by extension the system of religious (Gospel) truth itself: - assurance belief believe faith fidelity.
• Meekness is: gentleness, mildness, meekness
• temperance is: self control (especially continence): - temperance. Thayer's: self-control (the virtue of one who masters his desires and passions, esp. his sensual appetites)
Can you recognize these characteristics in yourself? If not, the great news is, when you fellowship with the Holy Spirit and let Him fall on your life, HE WILL FILL YOU AND HE WILL HELP YOU!! Invite Him in today.. Call 1-877-843-4567 and agree with a prayer warrior now..!"

“It wasn’t faith alone... that caused Peter to walk on water... It was his love for Jesus and deep desire to be near Him. This hunger within Peter could only be satisfied by Jesus and it invoked his faith to step out of the boat and move closer to Jesus. The other apostles did not have this same depth of love!
‘...Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs,’ (John 21:15).
Precious friends, when you couple extreme love and desire with faith, supernatural things begin to happen. The deeper your love is for God and the things of God, the greater your seek will be, and the greater you seek... the MORE you will find and experience..!”

"It only takes one sleepless night for the king to find you..
'On that night could not the king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king. And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, the keepers of the door, who sought to lay hand on the king Ahasuerus. And the king said, What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for him. And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him,' (Esther 6:1-4).
Never put more confidence in the limited power of your position, just because your proximity is close to the one with full power.. Many people are walking in close proximity to their leader or other people God has called, but they are not in agreement with God for their life, purpose, and destiny. These same people today have not learned from Haman's arrogance concerning Mordecai, but don't fret saints, God will not let the plans of the wicked trump His plans for you!!
'And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath,' (Esther 3:5).
Mordecai was submitted to God, no matter what! He did the right thing before God even if he put his natural life in jeopardy with man. Friends, some of you are wondering when you will be justified in situations where you have been accused or hated for no reason.. Stay faithful to God because His faithfulness never fails. It only takes one sleepless night for Him to get the attention of the people who will need to be awakened on your behalf.. EXPECT IT..!!"

“Have you ever been told that you or someone in your family is dysfunctional? Or have you ever made accusations or judgments against another person or family as being dysfunctional?
‘ Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?’ (Matthew 7:1-3).
Self-righteous Christians can often be heard decreeing whether or not people are functional or dysfunctional based on knowledge they have.. Oh, this person is divorced, this one had a baby out of wedlock, this one committed adultery, this one was an alcoholic, this one smoked dope, the other one still smokes cigarettes... blah blah blah.. STOP IT!! Those are not thoughts or words Jesus says.. When the woman in the Bible was caught in the ACTION of committing adultery, Jesus questioned her persecutors.. “You without sin… cast the first stone..” The crowd dispersed.
‘And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity,’ (1 Corinthians 13:13).
‘A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another,’ (John 13:34).
What the world and self righteous people deem “functional” still fails in comparison to the standard of God’s love. The greater truth is, if you are not working to become perfect in love like God is, you are dysfunctional!! Stop using your mouth to assault people and learn God’s heart and ways... the opinionated judgments you grant others will come back to you in the same measure!! Develop love and learn to see the best in everyone and give your best to everyone too..!”

“God desires that you finish well!!
‘Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit,’ (Ecclesiastes 7:8).
I want to encourage you to never get complacent or comfortable in your relationship with Jesus or the revelation, gifts, and even the answered prayers you have received from Him. Don’t put your confidence in what God gives you, and lose sight of HIM, His heart, or His ways.
After David, Solomon became king, however, he was not confident in governing the people and he made a sacrifice to God to help him.. As always, God was faithful and visited him in a dream. God told Solomon that he could ask for anything and God would give it to him! Solomon pleased the Lord when he asked Him for an understanding heart to judge the people. His request resulted in Solomon receiving wisdom and understanding and a wealth of other blessings as well! He handled the people he was over with wisdom and today we apply his wisdom as well!
These things were all great, but they were not enough to keep Solomon on course to finish well. Because it was his weaknesses that caused him to stumble and disobey God’s commands, not his strengths (Exodus 23:32-33).
You must remember that Satan’s plan is always to attack your weaknesses.. with an appearance of something good or even as an answered prayer.. while it subtly destroys you.
Christians tend to be so focused on their strengths that they miss the areas where they are weak. When you fail to face your weaknesses, Satan gets in, trips you up, and causes you to get off the course to the good and expected end God planned for you. Friends, I pray that you don’t only ask God for what helps you help others, but that you will keep Him first and never put anything between your heart and His.. Stay in Him and His will and you will finish well..!”

"The Evidence of Following Jesus - To LOVE Each Other!!
'By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another,' (John 13:35).
It is time to inspect if we are walking in love or in knowledge with our brothers and sisters. Unfortunately for many, it is easier and more acceptable to love conditionally, based on performances, actions, deeds, knowledge, and disappointments suffered at the hands of another. Isn’t that sad?
Jesus could have taken the err of our ways, the wickedness of our hearts, and our human failures and said, "I have the ability to let them die because of what I know about them.." but He did NOT!! His love is not built on our natural goodness or perfect behavior, it is built on and in His Father's supernatural - eternal - flawless - and unfailing - love, kindness, compassion, mercy, forgiveness, and grace!!
Choose today to stop the flow of conditional love and forgiveness to those who hurt your feelings and disappoint you.. Think about the countless times you have immaturely dismissed people that God put in your path to love and accept??!!
‘A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh,’ (Ezekiel 36:26).
Friends, the Lord is giving you opportunities each day to express His amazing and flawless love??!! Will you put down the stone in your hand and let Him turn your heart to flesh?? It is time to be identified as TRUE disciples of Jesus Christ and genuinely LOVE each other..!"

"Are You Bypassing Genuine and True Satisfaction?
In a world conditioned by and full of to do lists, bucket lists, and self-satisfaction, what position does the only ONE that truly satisfies land on in your life? The constant slogans and temptations that promise to provide satisfaction, accomplishments, and a sense of success, riches, and wealth.. DON'T!! On the contrary, we see more and more people depressed, sad, empty, lost, continually disappointed, murmuring, and overall dissatisfied because these promises are empty and devoid of God!
Creation has turned to other creation to bring them satisfaction, but you can't truly be satisfied without seeking the greater one who created you. The one that created you to desire Him above all else.. The one that knows what you need and the one that by His grace, love, mercy, truth, light, and life can do and give you exceedingly more than you can ask or even imagine.. in this life and in the one to come!!
'Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think..’ (Ephesians 3:20).
Of course setting goals and completing tasks are important in life, but doing that alone is not going to satisfy your soul. People die unsatisfied every single day, because they never put God first on the table of their heart or on their never ending, and perhaps more accurately, unfinished 'to do' and 'bucket' lists..
I pray today that your heart will be awakened to the greater depths of faith, hope, and love and that you will really seek the only one that can satisfy and quench your thirst for divine happiness and fulfillment.. according to His will! My friend, satisfaction is only found in Jesus Christ.. Believe and Receive His Eternal Rewards!! I assure you, these rewards are not temporal hopes.. confined or limited to that which will also pass away!! God satisfies forevermore..!"

"There isn't a place you can go that is out of God's reach! His love and blood is not intimidated by errors of the flesh.. God is not afraid to go where "Christians" won't!
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance," (2 Peter 3:9).
Many Christians are into religion more than they are into developing a real relationship with Jesus. Therefore, they uphold the law of God higher than the love of God and cause casualties through immature and premature judgments. Their love is conditional based on right and wrong, but God's love is constant and sure and it never fails to meet us right where we are.
His love reaches in and cleanses our deepest darkest secrets, fears, wounds, wrongs, disappointments, and any other thing that Satan tries to deceive us into believing separates us from God.
No matter how horrific or terrible something was that you did, you MUST know that GOD'S LOVE for you is unconditional. It is not dependent upon you, it is dependent upon HIM, and it is impossible for you to go beyond God’s reach!
God’s grace is immeasurably sufficient!! He is not keeping tabs on your bad or good choices as much as He wants your surrendered heart to trust and believe that He will never leave nor forsake you! Let's face it, none of us "deserve" Christ’s love and salvation. Nevertheless, He takes away our shame, forgives all our sins, and saves us to the uttermost.
There are probably some of you that have a hard time believing this kind of royal and loyal love exists because of what you did.. you may believe the lie that God could not possibly love you because of what you did.. That is why you need to stay away from religious people who do not even know the LOVE of God for themselves. When God forgives, He forgets!! His love for you goes far beyond His knowledge of your wrongs.. He will never stop going after the "one" sheep, and that is the power of God's unfailing love and reach for you my friend..!"

"No matter where you come from, who has rejected you and even despised you, the mistakes you have made, or the lifestyle you have lived up until now... Jesus accepts you as you are!!
Just like the woman at the well, many of you are thirsty for the living water of Christ! You are wondering if you will ever be noticed or appreciated.. Daughters, you do not have to wonder any longer!! God notices you! He sees you and the scars you have tried to burry and cover up.. He sees the pain and the rejection you have endured.. and He is saying to you right now.. 'I accept you as you are and I am not inhibited or limited by your past. I am here to make all things new for you and to turn your ashes into pure beauty!'
'But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life,' (John 4:14).
My prayer for all of you is that you will choose to DRINK from the well of living water and never thirst again..!"
