Bearing Each Other’s Burdens
The body of Christ is not a place of self-sufficiency. It is a place of interdependency. When we share each other’s troubles and problems, we are fulfilling the law of love. Our burdens bring us together. As we allow others to get under our burdens and help us bear them, we find our love and appreciation growing. Our weakness calls forth others’ strength. As we serve others, we sow the seeds of support that will bear fruit when we most need it. (Read Galatians 6:1-10)

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You
There comes a time when you must stand alone.
You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. You must be willing to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved. Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged. There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities. Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better. Be confident enough that you won’t settle for a compromise just to get by. Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.
Don’t stand in someone else’s shadow when it’s your sunlight that should lead the way.
You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams. You must be willing to make sacrifices.
You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved. Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged. There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities. Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better. Be confident enough that you won’t settle for a compromise just to get by. Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.
Don’t stand in someone else’s shadow when it’s your sunlight that should lead the way.

The Power of Unity-When leaders come together, unity flows down
Psalms 133:1–3
*How wonderful it is, how pleasant, when brothers live together in harmony! *For harmony is as precious as the fragrant anointing oil that was poured over Aaron’s head, that ran down his beard and onto the border of his robe. *Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And the LORD has pronounced his blessing

POSITIVE THOUGHTS
Forgiveness is the giving, and receiving, of life.
Love is a choice you make from moment to moment.
You may not get to choose how you’re going to meet your end, but you do get to chose how you’re going to live now.
If you can’t make it better, you can laugh at it.
A smile costs nothing, yet it can be priceless to the person you give it to.

POSITIVE THOUGHTS
Faith takes hold of God’s sure word and moves His mighty arm. Before Him melt the needs and wants that could our hearts alarm. Money may fail and days look black but bold faith will answer back: With God nothing is impossible.
Word of the Day
The Lord says: “Wise men must not brag about their wisdom. Strong men must not brag about their strength. Rich men must not brag about their money.
But if someone wants to brag, then let him brag about these things: Let him brag that he learned to know me. Let him brag that he understands that I am the Lord that I am kind and fair and that I do good things on earth. I love those things.” This message is from the Lord. Jeremiah 9:23-24
