Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said, “Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.” God has planted dreams into your heart that require work and faith to blossom. But remember, the dream is not the goal—the process of becoming and making the journey with God is the true purpose.

Jesus is always the same. Whether your heart is filled with love or sorrow, He is your steady presence and support. It’s inevitable that life changes—there will be good days and bad—but Jesus is always the same.

You don’t have to be on vacation to experience the natural wonder of God’s glory. You can see Him every day in the twinkling night sky, the dew on the morning grass, the sunlight through the clouds. Celebrate His majesty!

God is preparing your way with love. The next time you are faced with a big change, let this fact sink in: You are not on this journey alone. He is preparing the way.

It’s not always easy to listen to God’s whispers of guidance and have faith in the outcome. Our human nature causes us to question why and want to solve the problem our own way. When you are in need of His guidance, don’t rely solely on your own thinking. Pray for the clarity to hear and follow His will.

There is nothing to worry about. All you have to do is keep your eyes on Jesus. Just put one foot in front of the other and follow Him. There is no need to doubt or be discouraged. Trust Him.

When you hold onto God, He delivers you. He casts out the darkness with His brightness; He will transform your spirit. Praise Him for the miraculous work He is performing in your life.

You are a work in progress. Share with God that you strive to be like Him and to please Him in every aspect of your life. Read His Word and pour out your heart to Him. Be patient with yourself; your spiritual growth is a lifelong process.

Is something bothering you? Loosen your grip and know that He is with you now wanting to help. Open up and let Him in. Recognize that His ways may be beyond your understanding. Your relationship is based on loving faith.

God made you to be grateful—to have a heart that is filled with joy and not complaints. Focus your attention on the many things in your life to be thankful for right now. Praise God, the author of all good and perfect gifts, for all He has done for you.

This Scripture advises you to guard your mind by fixing your thoughts on things worthy of your time. Whenever an undesirable thought or temptation enters your mind, use this verse to think about Jesus and that He is true, honorable, just, pure and lovely.
