"Father in Heaven, Today, as with each new day I say Thank-You for Your Mercy! Without it I know I would be toast. I am far from who I want to be, so I "NEED" Your Mercy. I am far from who I used to be, only "BECAUSE" of Your Mercy. "My mistakes, God turned into miracles, all my tears He turned into joy, my past was forgiven, my new name was written, when mercy rewrote my life. Mercy, rewrote my life, mercy, rewrote my life I could have fallen, but mercy rewrote my life." AMEN! Mercy Re-Wrote My Life

You are closer to your victory when you face the greatest opposition. Don't give up just because there is opposition... There will ALWAYS be opposition!

Heavenly Father, today I release (I give) all of my cares, my struggles, my incompleteness, and anxieties on You. I KNOW that my breakthrough is coming. I choose to press forward, to stand strong and see Your Power, Your Deliverance and Completeness. I believe and receive Your Word, and I believe that You will reward me as I earnestly seek after You. In Jesus Name. Amen!

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. (Job 5:17)

"We may not understand why we are going through what we are going through, but we can, choose to live in faith and hope that God is working His perfect plan for us".

'Father in Heaven; Make me ready for whatever this day will bring. If it is so routine that I will not remember anything that happened, may I be faithful in routine. If today brings great challenges I could never have expected, make me brave to act with wisdom and courage. May nothing shake my eternal faith in your love and goodness. In Jesus name, Amen'.

We do not go into a room and suggest to darkness, "Would you mind leaving, because if you leave we can have light?" We bring in light, and the entrance of light forces the exit of darkness.

Just the very act of letting go of money, or some other treasure, does something within us. It destroys the demon 'greed'". - Richard Foster

And Abram gave him a tenth of everything. Genesis 14:20

Today's Thought (from 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader by John Maxwell)

Nothing speaks to others more loudly than generosity from a leader. True generosity isn't an occasional event. It comes from the heart and permeates every aspect of a leader's life, touching their time, money, talents, and possessions. Effective leaders, the kind people want to follow, don't gather things just for themselves; they do it in order to give to others.

To cultivate the quality of generosity in your life, do the following:

1. Be grateful for whatever you have.
2. Put people first.
3. Don't allow the desire for possessions to control you.
4. See money as a resource
5. Develop the habit of giving.

The only way to maintain an attitude of generosity is to make it your habit to give - your time, attention, money, and resources.

Father in Heaven; Help me to be more generous than I've ever been! Thank You for blessing me with ALL that I have. I will be mindful today to give of my time, attention, money & resources and NOT count the cost, In Jesus name. Amen.
