Martin Luthor King Jr. Encouraging Quote of the Day – Like Anybody I Would Like To Live A Long Life. Longevity Has Its Place. But I’m Not Concerned About That Now. I Just Want To Do God’s Will. And He’s Allowed Me To Go Up To the Mountain. And I’ve Looked Over. And I’ve Seen the Promised Land

Martin Luthor King Jr. MLK Great Quote Gods Will Over Longevity to the Promised Land

Absolutely awe-inspiring words from someone who walked the walk and carried his cross.

“Like Anybody I Would Like To Live A Long Life. Longevity Has Its Place. But I’m Not Concerned About That Now. I Just Want To Do God’s Will. And He’s Allowed Me To Go Up To the Mountain. And I’ve Looked Over. And I’ve Seen the Promised Land.” Celebrate MLK’s inspiring Spirit of God with this amazing quote.

The pulse of Christ pumped through this man in so many powerful ways. His thinking was profound beyond human understanding. That’s because he yielded his life to the guide of the Holy Spirit, allowing God to speak through him and change the world. This quote gives me shivers.

If you’ve ever seen the last speech that MLK ever gave, the Holy Spirit was literally dripping off this man. According to interviews with a guy who was with MLK the day he was assassinated, he told people that MLK was the giddiest he had ever seen him. In fact he said Martin Luthor King was actually playful. So playful in fact that he started a pillow fight! This was completely unlike MLK, who was usually stoic and serious. He said this was manifest evidence to him that MLK was divinely inspired and knew that it was his last day on Earth. And even in the midst of that impending doom, he had the joy of Christ. A joy only the peace of God brings. This is from first-hand accounts. You can believe whatever you want to believe, but its clear to people who were there that God flowed through Martin Luthor King Jr. in powerful, powerful ways.

Encouraging Quote of the Day – Forgiveness Is the Key That Unlocks the Door of Resentment and the Handcuffs of Hatred. Breaking Chains of Bitterness and Shackles of Selfishness By Corrie Ten Boom (Holocaust Survivor)

First to Apologize is Bravest, First to Forgive is Strongest, First to Forget is Happiest

This sums things up nicely!

Corrie Ten Boom, “Forgiveness is the key that unlocks the door of resentment and the handcuffs of hatred. It is a power that breaks the chains of bitterness and the shackles of selfishness.” (via Pastor Benny Hinn)

That quote is from someone who knows real tragedy unlike anything we can imagine. Yesterday, we got closer to being able to imagine what true evil and true horror is; in stark, terrifying, real terms. Except few of us experienced that pain in a direct, real way, as the people and young children who were viciously murdered in cold blood at an elementary school in Connecticut were strangers to us.

These words from Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom is proof positive that strength comes from God and God alone. Even when demonic evil taking place all around you and involves the very people you know and love. Even during those dark hours, Jesus is the answer, and in Him alone is where comfort, grace, mercy, forgiveness, peace and the strength that surpasses all mortal understanding reside.

Here is an amazing real interview with Corrie ten Boom herself, speaking in her own words, on forgiveness and how to overcome hardship and tragedy, from someone who survived a Nazi Concentration Camp and still maintained her faith in Jesus Christ and the love of God that confounds the unbeliever.

Encouraging Quote of the Day – YOU Know What’s Beautiful? Read the First Word Again

Jesus Loves You This Much Cross

Jesus already loved you so much He died for YOU. Never forget that.

“YOU know what’s beautiful? Read the first word again.”

Never forget how much God loves YOU and that God created YOU to be YOU. You are special, and every person in this world is someone whom God would forget the whole world just to save. YOU ARE THAT IMPORTANT.

Looking at yourself through the eyes of Jesus Christ, and through the eyes of how other people see you; is a great way to boost your own self-esteem. Remember that YOU MATTER.

Even when it seems like you don’t, even when you don’t feel like you do, and even when you feel worthless, lonely, or lost… remember that everyone impacts the lives of others, and everyone has SOMEONE who loves them. Someone, somewhere. And even if you didn’t or don’t, GOD LOVES YOU. And ultimately, THAT is ALL that MATTERS.

Pure Joy Puppy

Now THIS puppy knows his victory in Christ! YEAH BABY YEAH!

“No thing and no person can make you miserable without your permission.” – Joyce Meyers

Remember that joy and happiness come from within. No one can take that from you. The Bible says to be joyful because of the victory that Christ has given you over death and the grave. No matter what happens in your life, you ultimately have the victory. Take control of your emotions and do not let your mind be miserable no matter the situation. Instead rejoice!

Encouraging Quote of the Day – Learn To Cast Your Cares, But Not Your Responsibility

Cast Your Cares On the Lord

Learn to cast your cares but not your responsibilities.

“Learn to cast your care, but not your responsibility. Too often we do just the opposite. (1 Pet. 5:6-7)” – Joyce Meyers

Jesus says to cast your cares and your burdens on Him. His yoke is easy and His burden is lite, meaning that He will not become a burden on you or add to your burden, but just the opposite.

However just because we are to cast our cares on God, that does not mean letting go of responsibility. God calls us to be responsible people in all things. However it takes effort to learn to cast your cares, while not casting your responsibility. Learn to do this however, and you will be much better off.

Encouraging Quote of the Day – God Puts People In Our Lives For A Purpose. So We Can Help Them Succeed & Become All He Created Them To Be

The People in Life You Touch - Your Sphere of Influence

…. What is your sphere of influence? The people in life that you touch? And what about those you don’t yet know?

“God puts people in our lives on purpose for a purpose, so we can help them succeed and become all He has created them to be. That means we have an assignment to encourage and inspire them to go higher.”

Do you really think it is an accident that you know the people that you know? Is it an accident that you were born into the family you are in? Is it an accident that new people come into your life and change/effect various aspects of it?

All relationships on earth ultimately have one purpose; to bring the light of Christ to them and to help spread the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, to every person we come into contact with. To make disciples of others, to teach them, impart wisdom to them, and encourage them. To build people up and not tear them down, so that the light of our God may shine forth and influence them to make the right decisions in their own life… So that the chain of bringing others under the wings of Jesus can continue. And on and on and on.

When the Bible says “How can they hear without a preacher?” he is talking about YOU. How can that acquaintance of yours find God if you don’t tell them about Him? Remember to use the influence you have over others to do good, and impart the Word and Light of Christ wherever and whenever possible. You don’t even need to speak to others, sometimes a simple smile, a simple hello, a simple hug, a simple “I know what you are going through, and my God has the solution” will do. Often times, more than an intellectual debate or discussions on the merits of Jesus and His message, it is acts of love that will move the heart and soul, and cause the Holy Spirit to convict that person into heading down the direction that leads to their Savior. We are the messengers. And other people are the field in which we sow new souls.

Encouraging Quote of the Day – God Is My Hiding Place. He Preserves Me From Trouble, Surrounds Me With Songs of Deliverance. Blessed Be the Name of the Lord

God Is My Hiding Place

God is our hiding place, protecting us, delivering us, preserving us. Blessed Is He.

“God is my hiding place. He preserves me from trouble. He surrounds me with songs of deliverance. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Psalm 32:7 – Benny Hinn.

Remember that God is not far from us, He is always there. Always near. Always inside. Always comforting. Always delivering. Always preserving His children from the troubles of the world that would bring down lesser men and women.

But we must rely on Him, turn to Him, trust Him and think on Him as we go about our daily business. Remember that the Bible does not say you need to set aside a set amount of time to pray… you do not need to perform rituals or try and “feel” closer to God. The Bible says to, quite simply, “pray without ceasing”. That is, make it a regular part of your day to speak to the Lord. This is how you build a relationship…. Both here on earth and in the Heavenlies.

Uplifting Quote of the Day – When Life Gives You A Hundred Reasons To Cry, Show Life That You Have A Thousand Reasons To Smile

Smiling is Powerful, Even Breaks Ice

Smiling is powerful. A weapon that fights many hardships in life effectively.

This Encouraging Quote of the Day is pretty straight-forward:

“When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile.”

Just like “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”, this is a quote that encourages people to be happy and optimistic despite the current situations or difficulties facing you. Everyone can find many reasons to cry about the hand of life that has been dealt to you, but you can also find plenty of reasons to smile. Instead of focusing on the former, why not focus on the latter? :)

Encouraging Quote of the Day – If Someone Is A Jerk To You Today, React As If They Need Your Kindness More Than You Need Their Courtesy.

Hello Goodbye Scrabble Wallpaper Art

Say hello with a smile, and goodbye with a smile. Even if that smile is undeserved.

This Quote of the Day is a really encouraging one, thanks to Jeremy Dunn (hey! That rhymes!),

“If someone is a jerk to you today, react as if they need your kindness more than you need their courtesy.”

This quote really says it is all, and this is the way that people should react when being confronted with a mean spirit or smart alec attitude. Instead of letting it piss you off, ruin your day, make you sad, make you angry, or make you depressed; think of it like this. “Wow, this person really could use some kindness to soften up that heart of theirs.”

Brotherly Love Muslim and Jew

…. Treat others how you wish to be treated. Love your enemies, hate no one. Pray for those who persecute you. Respect one another as Jesus Commanded.

Then be nice back to them even though they don’t deserve it and didn’t ask for it. Likely they will be very surprised by your reaction. If anything, it will keep YOUR mood intact and cause you to continue on your merry way despite the road block that was just placed in your way to make you stumble! It also makes the devil, very, VERY pissed. ;)

Remember these wise words of Jesus Christ from the Holy Bible:

New Testament, Ephesians Chapter 4 Verse 32
“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

New Testament, 1st John Chapter 4, Verses 20-21
“If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this Commandment we have from Jesus: whoever loves God must also love his brother.”

Old Testament, Proverbs Chapter 24, Verse 17
“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles.”

New Testament, The Gospel of Luke. Chapter 6, Verse 31
“And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.”

Now listen to this song called “Indwelling Sin” by Christian rapper LeCrae to see what the battle between faith and death (sin) is all about. From LeCrae’s album “Rebel”.
