I believe that God wants us to show respect.
Open your heart and invite God into every circumstance because when God enters the scene, miracles happen.
In life, we will always encounter difficult people. Don't allow them to frustrate you or steal your joy.
The pressure you are facing is not going to break you. It's going to make you.
I just want to encourage every one of us to realize when we obey God, we’re not doing it for God—I mean, that’s one way to look at it—we’re doing it for ourselves, because God takes pleasure when we’re happy. That’s the thing that gives Him the greatest joy. So, I want you to know this morning: Just do good for your own self. Do good because God wants you to be happy. When you come to church, when you worship Him, you’re not doing it for God really. You’re doing it for yourself, because that’s what makes God happy. Amen?
Today let me reassure you, God knows right where you are and He knows how to get you to where you need to be. Even when things don’t go the way you planned, His hand is on you.
