In this spiritual journey, you need to know that God has equipped you to do mighty things. Let me say it this way. God has placed His Spirit in you for you to change the lives of people you meet professionally and personally. Anytime you open your mouth, you have the potential of building up or tearing down, to encourage or discourage, and to minister or hinder. The choice is yours. Everyday is an opportunity to make a difference. As you make a difference, you're getting closer to reaching your dream. As one of my mentors told me years ago, 'the more people you help along your journey, the easier it'll become to reach your dream. The more doors you open up for others, the more doors will be opened up for you.' Dreams go away when you stop working towards them. In writing to his son in the ministry, the apostle Paul told Timothy to "Stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Please don't miss this. God has freely given you a gift and expects you to use it. Because you're part of God's family, you have a mission to accomplish. Don't worry about how difficult it may seem, just know that God is with you every step of the way. You're here to make a difference because you're a child of Almighty God. In a real sense, you're His representative. As I close this message, I leave you with the words, 'on your mark, get ready, get set, and go.' Make this the day you're driven to make a difference.

Scripture of the Day: 
 "To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice." (Proverbs 21:3- NIV)
