I do like the thought of new beginnings...God does as well! He desires for us to reach new heights and do greater things for Him and for ourselves. Today, I just wanted to share some quotations with you, that might be an encouragement to you to reach higher heights and keep on keeping on for Him!
The reason most people never reach their goals is that they
don't define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable.
Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way,
and who will be sharing the adventure with them. --Denis Watley
The gap between mediocrity and excellence is the difference
measured by two things - indifference and determination. –Mark Rasmussen
"What gets planned gets done, but what we postpone we
usually abandon.”
"Big things are built one brick at a time.
Victories are achieved one
choice at a time.
A life well lived is chosen one
day at a time."
"Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14
What we all seem to forget is that each day is a new beginning; and even if we fail, as Thomas Edison said, we're only a failure if we quit. If we decide to get up and try again, then we're not failures. Satan would like to tell you you're a failure...don't let him do that! Success means getting up one more time. Press on for the Lord! The victory is ours by His grace and power. Claim all His many precious promises...cling to them and start again, if you have to.
Well, I hope this was an encouragement to you...and that you press on to do greater things for God!
Pressing On!
Merle
