His banner over us is love

The life of Abraham Lincoln. He lost his job in 1832. He was elected to the legislature in 1834. He suffered the death of his sweetheart in 1834. He suffered a nervous breakdown in 1836. He was defeated for speaker of the State Legislature in 1838. He was defeated for nomination for Congress in 1843. He was elected to Congress in 1846. He was rejected for the position of land officer in 1849. He was defeated for the Senate in 1854. He was defeated for the nomination for vice president of the United States in 1856. He again was defeated for the Senate in 1858. He was elected president of the United States in 1860. A life of preservance, passion and love for God would definitely yield fruits.

Everything in life was created with potential and possesses the potential principle. In every seed there is a tree...in every bird a flock.. .in every fish a school.. .in every sheep a flock... in every cow a herd.. .in every boy a man.. .in every girl a woman.. .in every nation a generation. Tragedy strikes when a tree dies in a seed, a man in a boy, a woman in a girl, an idea in a mind. For untold millions, visions die unseen, songs die unsung, plans die unexecuted and futures die buried in the past. The problems of our world go unanswered because potential remains buried...by Myles munroe ... Amazing words on potentials

When we feel fear… Christ is with us. When we feel rejected… Christ accepts us. When we feel worthless… Christ approves us. When we feel shame… Christ covers us. When we feel insecure… Christ surrounds us. When we feel defiled… Christ restores us. When we feel hopeless… Christ becomes our living hope.

Doubt is something that can kill dreams far more effectively than failure. When you doubt you start to believe that your dreams are impossible to achieve, and this state of mind is both negative and damaging. When you fail this may motivate you to try harder so that you succeed the next time you attempt to reach your dreams. If you doubt yourself and your abilities then the battle is already lost and your dreams will always be out of reach. Doubt can be like an invasive parasite, slowly eating away at your confidence and eroding your determination. Instead of doubting yourself look at all the impossible tasks that men and women have achieved over the years and use this as motivation to push yourself even further in order to achieve your dreams and reach your goals. When you feel doubt then you allow yourself to become sidetracked from your objectives. This can cause you to turn down the wrong path, or even to give up entirely. Failure can make you stronger because each time you try a...

W e’ve all been deeply hurt in some way…a betrayal by a spouse, a behind-your-back criticism from a friend, hateful judgment from someone at church, a false accusation by a co-worker, unfair treatment by a boss or a parent. And the deeper the hurt, the harder it is and the longer it takes us to forgive. But sometimes we simply don’t forgive. We harbor a grudge. Resentment builds in our hearts. We nurse the offense. As a result, we remain prisoner to our pain and we harm our brain. When someone hurts us, it’s natural and normal to feel pain. God created our brains to help us survive when we feel threatened. It’s called the fight-flight-freeze response generated in our emotional centers, primarily mediated by two almond shaped clusters of brain cells called the amygdalae. When the amygdalae are activated, a series of bio-chemical processes begin. The adrenal glands that lie on top of our kidneys release the stress hormone cortisol into our bodies and the brain releases neurotran...
