For whoever finds me finds life and receives favour from the Lord. Proverbs 8:33. When we invite Jesus into our heart He'll fill us with peace beyond understanding as we realise that He is truly the path to everlasting life. It doesn't mean we won't have troubles in this life, but rather that we'll never be alone, and that He'll go before us to make a way and show us His favour in our time of need. He'll change the way we see things as we keep our eyes on Him. When we choose

"They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, 'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' Matthew 25:44-45. Jesus looks at what we do for others as what we do for Him. Our relationships matter, our hearts towards the stranger in the street, our work colleagues and our family matters. What we do for them matt

If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn't love others, I would have gained n

"I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb.” Jeremiah 1:5a. You are no accident, but predestined of God with a plan and purpose for such a time as this. You have been made unique in the image of God with gifts, talents and abilities that you may not even be aware of. Allow God to water your heart, to stir you with dreams of what could be, if you stepped out and trusted Him. Always remember that God loves you beyond measure. He is true love who will never fail you.

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39. You are so incredibly loved of God who only wa

For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11. God only desires the very best for your life. It's time to change your old ways of thinking and allow God to show you His ways. Don't limit yourself based on your past or on what you think you can do. God has put so much more inside of you in terms of gifts and abilities than you realise. It will take courage and discipline in so

Then the Lord answered me and said: "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. Habikuk 2:2. New Year's resolutions rarely work as people forget them or don't really take them seriously. But there is power in writing them down, and making a decision that you'll be disciplined to follow them through. When you write down your goals, keep them visible in your home so you can continually reread your plans and actions to keep yourself in check. Sp

May he grant your heart's desires and make all your plans succeed Psalm 20:4. Let this year be your year, where you plan a course of direction and allow the Lord to be the wind in your sails. As you start to look ahead, plan on where you'd like to be this time next year, and then break your plans down into smaller achievable monthly, weekly and even daily steps to help track your progress and to reach your goals. God desires your best, and as you step out, He'll go with you t
