Is there purpose in my pain?

God always puts purpose in pain.  

There is no pain that His purpose cannot redeem.  

There is no confusion that His presence cannot calm.   

God is at work on a solution before we even know that there is a problem.  

Excuses are the nails to build a house of failure.  

You have 2 great days in your life.  The day that you were born, and the day that you know why you were born.  

Your life is not determined by what has happened to you, but how you have responded to what happens to you.  

God doesn’t bring the bad stuff into our lives, but He does use it.  Don’t ask deliver me, but teach me.  

Dreams are the language of God.  God lives outside the limitations of the earth.  

We must see things the way God sees them.  

God’s truth trumps fact.

Look at life like a movie with plot twist. Don’t follow life’s script for you.  

A God dream appears risky.  He doesn’t take the easy route.  

A God dream requires God’s involvement.  God’s dream inside of you cannot take place without the help of others.  It requires collaboration not isolation.  

We settle for average, but God has not called us to be average.  

God’s greatest tool to accelerate our lives is through relationships. 

Watch how people respond when they are told no.  

Joy is a quiet confidence that may seem irrational based upon God’s promises not on the facts.  

If God saves us from something, He saves us for something.
