God is doing some incredible and amazing things.  Almost everyday of my life, I get to personally see, hear, feel, taste and smell the supernatural activity of God.  It’s not that I am some super special and gifted person. It’s just that I am learning that God has pretty much always been active, but I have just not always been tuned into the right channel.

When God began to help me personally see how amazing His grace was and is, it began to develop a passion in me to see other people get it.  The truth that I did not at first want to accept is that religious activity, while it is a good thing that feels good, it is a very poor substitute for the real spiritual relationship that opens the door for daily experience and realization of God’s supernatural activity in and through our lives.

God puts it this way in His Word:  “This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is bearing fruit everywhere by changing lives, just as it changed your lives from the day you first understood the truth about God’s wonderful grace.”  Colosisans 1:6

The Good News of God’s Amazing Grace that changes our lives is also changing the lives of others all around us, in fact – all around the world.  It is bearing supernatural fruit and changing lives, just as it changed and is changing yours and mine.  The very first day we heard and understood it, it began to do amazing things in and through our lives. And it continues to work in and through our lives still today.

This is the amazing grace of God that has been, is and will continue to work and accomplish the supernatural through our lives. Don’t miss it!  Experience it, share it and grow in it.  To God be the glory!

You are a special creation and your life has meaning, purpose and value.  You may not believe it, but that does not mean it isn’t true.  And the real problem with a lack of belief is that our lack of belief often holds us back from being all that we could and should be.

You are gifted in extraordinary ways and if you will learn to believe this and use these special gifts, then you can live a life that is unbelievable.  And the beautiful thing is that your life can actually make the lives of others better.

It all comes down to choice.  Everyone of us get to make the choice for ourselves.  The choice is not always easy and sometimes the choice is going to cost us.  “Everyone must choose one of two pains:  The pain of discipline or the pain of regret.” – Jim Rohn

We all have pain.  The choice we get to make is this:  Will it be the pain of discipline or the pain of regret?  We can do what we need now and reap the benefits it will produce or we can ignore what we need to do now and reap disappointment and frustration in our future.

I want to encourage you today to think about this amazing life that your Creator has blessed you with.  What do you need to do?  What can you do?  What will you do right now in this moment to claim, live and share this amazing gift called life?  Do it – you will be glad you did!

Have you ever been pleasantly surprised?  This is the experience I had when I actually took the time to watch a movie put out by The World Wrestling Entertainment Group, starring John Cena.

The title intrigued me, but when I saw that the movie was starring John Cena and was put out by WWE, I thought to myself: “This is probably going to be a waste of time, but I might as well give it a shot!”  And now I have to confess, it actually was a good movie with a very encouraging message.

The movie is a story of redemption and a different kind of victory.  It is a mixture of redemption stories, promises made and promises kept, as well as a look at what really winning is all about.  It is the story of a teenage boy coming of age, while coming to terms with the hand that life has dealt him.  It is the story of a single mom, who is doing her best to make things work, even though none of her current life is what she planned.  It is the story of a man, older son and big brother, who thought it was easier to walk away, but discovers life can’t work without his family.

Life is hard.  Life will throw you more than a few curves.  Life is about learning, growing and becoming.  I enjoyed this movie, walked away with a good feeling inside and found encouragement to keep learning and growing.

I hope if you get a chance to see it, that it will be a surprising encouragment to you…
