A person who lived sometime between the 10th and 6th centuries B.C. wrote this proverb: Proverbs 30:4 Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Whose hands have gathered up the wind? Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son? Surely you know! --It is amazing that the Old Testament (OT) writers spoke about the Son of God, Jesus, even though Jesus had not yet walked the planet? How could the Old Testament writers have thought to write this...if it wasn't for God inspiring them!?! And this is only one of hundreds of prophetic messages! No wonder Jesus said (in John...
YOU ARE VALUABLE. Your worth is not determined by where you are or those around you. God made you because He loves you and you are a treasure to Him. I hope this analogy helps you see that. A bottle of water at Costco is 25¢. The same bottle in the grocery store is worth about 50¢. The same bottle in a bar costs $2. In a fancy restaurant or a hotel it could be worth maybe $3.

Winston Churchill, “We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give.” What can you do to make a bigger difference? How rich is your life? Feeling like you have nothing to give? Feeling poor (financially)? Remember this: More than anything, God asks us to be other-centered; He wants you to give away LOVE. When I lost hundreds of thousands of dollars to an embezzling business partner, I was extremely angry. But with time I realized that I still had something to give away…LOVE. The move I gave, the richer I felt. I wouldn’t trade my current life (one which has left me in debt and without my once well-working athletic body) for anything...
