Personal Growth – How to Take a Look Outward and Ramp Up Your Growth Inward!

A Personal Investment Guaranteed to Bring Returns

Personal GrowthPersonal development is a lifelong investment.

It provides returns in the future…

and it also provides benefits for today.

Would you like to invest in something that can ramp up returns to your personal growth…

and at the same time bring value to the lives of those around you?

“Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” – James Matthew Barrie

A Successful Investment

Look outward and invest in the success of others. Why? Because when we help others overcome their hurdles and make it through their troubles, we see the same help manifest in our lives. And soon we will discover we are close to our own success.

The good things we make come to pass for others, God will make come to pass for us.

“Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord.” — Ephesians 6:8

Giving Ramps Up Personal Growth

Practice helping others regularly. Help them see the bright side of their troubles. Stir up and draw out their gifts and callings.

Give to others with your words. Speak words of praise and encouragement to them. A few kind words can go a long way in lifting a person’s spirits; especially in these days of being bombarded constantly with negative messages.

The person that refreshes others will be refreshed themselves. (Proverbs 11:25)

When we look outward to help others, we create more room to grow on the inside. We grow spiritually to the extent we give out.

Bottom line: Take time to help others grow and help them see the potential person they can be. A great exercise for the heart is reaching out and lifting someone else up. So what are you still doing here? Go now and find someone to help and at the same time ramp up your own personal growth.

May you have a heart to help others and a life of growing prosperity!

Soar higher –

Cheers,
Brenda

People Never Crumble in a Day!

I listened to this song today and it reminded me of the importance of guarding our thoughts, words, looks, and all the little choices we make on a daily basis that may seem insignificant

It’s a slow fade
when black & white are turned to gray –
when thoughts invade – choices made –
a price will be paid – when you give yourself away –
people never crumble in a day!

It’s the second glance that ties your hands, as darkness pulls your strings.

The cute little girl at the end says:

Be careful little eyes what you see –
For the Father up above is looking down in love –
Be careful little eyes what you see!

How many problems and troubles might we avoid in our lives if we would simply be careful what we see, hear, say, and think on a daily basis in the small ways.  When the small things are ungodly, it is like the song says – they tie our hands and darkness pulls our strings.

But that does not have to be the case, and songs like this are great wake-up reminders to make sure we stay wrapped in the Word and meditate and study God’s Word daily!

Here is a great prayer that my pastor prays over us and encourages us to pray:

“I pray that God would grant you, according to the riches of His glory,
to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man,
That Christ may dwell in your heart by faith…
And that you know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge,
that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.
That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you,
and you in Him, according to the grace of our God
and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.”
— Ephesians 3:14-21, 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

Be encouraged…

God bless you,
Brenda

How to Reverse Poverty – 3 Effective Tips You Can Use to Attract Prosperity

How to Reverse Poverty – 3 Effective Tips You Can Use to Attract Prosperity

Stop Repelling Your Prosperity and Start Attracting It!

Living in a poverty-stricken condition is very painful to say the least. Life is just plain hard when lack is what you dwell in. Not being able to pay your bills and provide for the needs of your family and yourself hurts. Lacking health, energy, and a creative mind is a state of poverty that keeps you from fully living life.

How do you end this poverty-stricken condition? The following effective tips will help guide you into a prosperous and abundant life.

1.)  Connect to the great universal infinite supply.

Acknowledge God as the creator and source of all supply. Prosperity is attracted when we are conscious that God is our partner, our Shepherd, and in Him we do not want. In Him there is no lack. Ephesians 3:19 tells us that to know the love of Christ, we can be filled with all the fullness of God.

2.)  Substitute poverty thinking with a prosperous mindset.

Poverty must be conquered from the inside out. Abundance cannot get to those who are repelling it with fearful thoughts of worry and doubt. Opposite thoughts and beliefs repel each other. Trying to overcome illness when you believe you’ll always be sick won’t bring health. Trying to become prosperous and successful, while thinking, talking, and predicting poverty won’t bring prosperity.  We attract prosperity by first having a prosperous mental attitude.

3.)  Tap into the abundant stream of plenty with great expectation.

There is an unlimited supply of plenty available. The measure in which prosperity flows into your life is based on your level of belief. When you tap into this stream with magnetizing faith you flood your life with abundance. The supply is there and there is no limitation. The stream of plenty flows toward faith and confidence in a big way. The trouble is many pinch or cut off the inflow of prosperity with mental limitations from doubts, fears, anxiety, and thoughts of lack.

Psalm 115:14-15 says, “The Lord shall increase you more and more, you and your children. You are blessed of the Lord which made heaven and earth.”

Poverty is a painful condition that no one wants to be in. However, you can end it and attract prosperity. The never ending supply stream of plenty is flowing right past your door daily. It rests with you to connect with the flow to receive all the good things made available for you. Put the above tips into practice. Acknowledge God as your source. Continue to keep a prosperous mindset and attract prosperity in a big way with magnetizing faith.

May you experience growing prosperity in your life as you stay connected with God!

Be blessed,
Brenda
