If you let people discourage you, bad breaks talk you out of it, delays cause you to quit believing, then it's going to keep you from God's best.

When you serve others, you are serving God. When you do it for them, you're doing it for Him. Jesus said, "If you give a cup of cold water to someone in need, you will surely be rewarded." Every time you serve, God sees it. Every time you help someone else. Every time you sacrifice--you go out of your way to pick up a friend, you get up early to sing in the choir, you stay late to help a coworker--God is keeping the record.

If you will trust God and keep a good attitude, staying faithful where you are and not getting in a hurry and trying to force things to happen, God will promote you at the right time, in your due season. He will bring your dreams to pass.

There are tests we have to pass. One of them is being faithful when nothing is changing, doing our best when it's not growing, being good to people that are not being good to us.

It may take a little time to see it come to pass, but it's on the way. Don't get talked out of it. Don't let what's not happening discourage you. Keep believing, keep thanking God, and you're going to see what He has spoken over your life.

When you know the time has been set, you'll have a peace.

Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! They will not be overdue a single day! Habakkuk 2:3 TLB

Nehemiah rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem when all the odds were against him. Determination and persistence pulsate through your bloodline.

Don't get upset. Just keep being your best each day.

God is in control. You may not think anything is happening, but remember, God often works the most when we see it and feel it the least. Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors to open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

When doubt comes saying, "It would have happened by now. It's too late." This is where many people miss their miracle. They get discouraged and think that God has forgotten about them. You need patient endurance. Don't get talked out of it.

Don't worry if you're not getting credit. Don't get discouraged if people don't thank you. God sees your sacrifice. When you give, He gives you more back. When you show someone favor, He shows you more favor.
