The sad truth is, if you push hard enough, and if you're so stubborn that you must have things your way, God will sometimes allow you to undertake a project without His blessing or at the wrong time. The problem with that, of course, is when you start something in your own strength and in your own timing, you're going to have to finish it and maintain it in your own strength.

You may think you're getting the short end of the stick, but when it's all said and done, God will make sure that you don't lose anything truly valuable. Moreover, He'll make sure you get your just reward. Your responsibility is to remain calm and peaceable even when those around you are not.

When you are committed to doing what's right, you are sowing seeds for God's blessings. You will never go wrong by taking the high road and doing more that is required.

Rewards await you if you stay steadfast in your faith.

Don't be impatient. It's not over until God says it's over.

Keep on keeping on!!!

No, I'm not settling here. I'm going to keep pressing forward.

You may have people coming against you, trying to discredit you, make you look bad. You don't have to fight that battle; just outlast them, just keep doing the right thing. Keep being faithful each day and God will take care of who's trying to stop you.

You are closer than you think.

When you focus on not just accomplishing your dreams but on being a blessing, serving others, then you're going to have more joy and you're going to be more fulfilled.

Some people are focused on their losses, their flaws, their mistakes, the times they didn't measure up. You need to focus on your victories, focus on the times you succeeded, you resisted the temptation, you were disciplined.

trusting God's timing. Now your due season has come. You're going to step into that king's anointing. What God promised you, He will bring to pass.
