My friends, Today I want to encourage you to be gentle with those who frustrate you. Be gentle with those who irritate you, be gentle with your self. The reason God can be so gentle and compassionate with us is because He knows that we are mere humans. We are, dust. Which means sometimes we're weak. He knows we're not perfect. He's knows we won't always get it right. But He is gentle. He gives second chanceS. He gives….GRACE. Today I pray that you are Gentle. I pray that you are as gentle with others as God is with you. Today, I pray that you extend the Grace of God. Extend love. Extend kindness. Extend hope. Give yourself room to hope. Hope for the best. Hope for healing. Hope for manifestation. Hope to get it right. So today… be gentle and DON'T CUSS NOBODY OUT TODAY!!! Especially not yourself! - D. Michele

Here's the thing...God already chose YOU... and YOU are His treasure! You are precious. You are valuable. You are a gem! And I know that with that sometimes comes a weight of heaviness. A weight of expectation. When you are a person of value, people will see that and try to hold you in a place that is only convenient for you to be valuable to them. But God has created you to be so much more than the box that people want to keep you in. You are special and unique. You are set apart. And there's a purpose for that. Your life changes lives. Your gift is a gift. It is not by coincidence that you think the way you think, have the faith that you have, even if it's just a mustard seed. You are valuable and necessary and you know it. - D. Michele

Today, I want to encourage you to have the confidence of a child. As we grow up, we are only introduced to the word “failure” when someone else tells us. We don't even know that failure is apart of life until someone else tells us, 'hey, you can't do that.' Children only know, it hasn't happened YET. And they are determined until YET happens. Today, be encourage that YET is on the way. Standing alone, is on the way. The success of that idea, is on the way. The love that you've waited for, is on the way. The vision that you feel in your heart, it's on the way. Yes, failure often times precedes success, but the beauty in that is that precedes means BEFORE. Before is a PREPosition. Your failure is just PREP for your success. Keep trying. Get up and try again. Rework it. Reimagine it. Reinvent it. Have the confidence of a child. - D. Michele

Here's the thing.... So often in life we hold back the very essence of our being to make other people comfortable. We walk on egg shells and we dim our lights so that those around us don't feel blinded by our natural shine. Today, forget all that! Today, PURSUE YOU! Pursue the BEST YOU! Pursue the dreams that in your heart. Pursue the love that is in your soul. Pursue the peace that is on your mind. Pursue the victory you want to see! No longer will you live beneath the majesticness (yes, I made that word up) of who God has created you to be. Your purpose may not look the same to others, but it is perfect when in the will of God. You are GIFTED for this! Every accolade you have be given, every word of encouragement, every high five, every goal that you've check off, every win that won when they told you you would lose, YOU DESERVE IT! SO PURSUE MORE! PURSUE GOD. PURSUE YOU! - D. Michele

So here's the thing.... Your second chance starts every single day. Every single day we wake up we get a SECOND CHANCE! Sometimes we get so caught up in our mess ups and failures that we don't realize our mess ups and failures are beautiful moments to respond to God. When we have encounters with God, our lives feel better, our lives become clearer and we feel better about ourselves and our days and in that we are able to move mountains and shifts paradigms of thinking. Today, I want to remind you that YOU have access to a second chance. Accept it. - D. Michele

Mark 10:27 “Looking at them, Jesus *said, “With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.” Ya'll you may feel like you're at the end of your ropes. That you've exhausted all of your options. That you are stuck. That this is the best that it's going to get. But today, God wants me to remind you to EMBRACE THE POSSIBILITIES of His promise! And His promises NEVER fail. Remind yourself of these promises: God is always good. God is always with me. God is faithful. God is kind and compassionate. God loves me deeply, no matter what. I AM A POSSIBILITY! Today, embrace the possibilites and be hopeful. Be joyful. Live in the truth of God's promises and see how your life changes! - D. Michele

Here's the thing, the reality is life offers us blessings and curses, good and evil. But guess what, even with that, it is still our CHOICE and responsibility to choose good if that is what we want to have. Our choices have consequences and today I pray that you CHOOSE WELL! CHOOSE GOOD THOUGHTS. CHOOSE BLESSINGS! CHOOSE ABUNDANCE. CHOOSE HAPPINESS. CHOOSE LOVE. CHOOSE GOD! How you choose to feel and be directly impacts your moods and your everyday thoughts. Today, we are going to THINK WELL! Although we do not always have the power to change unpleasant circumstances in our lives, we do have the power to change our outlook. I don't know about you, but one of things I want out of this earthly life is to be happy. I want to enjoy it. But I would be lying if I didn't admit that there were a better part of my days that I wasted because I thought that my joy and enjoyment came from my circumstances. So if my circumstances were off, so was my joy. But then my spirit caught hold to one of my favorite encouraging scriptures that you will here me reference very often, Romans 8:28, for we know that God causes everything to work together for the GOOD of those who love him and are called according to his purpose. Once I locked in on that guys, I realized, this storm can't kill me. This burden can't weigh me down. This circumstance isn't my end all be all. There is GOOD on the other side of this! There is GOOD on the other side! So, I changed my attitude and I vowed to let that change my life! I encourage you to do the same! - D. Michele

Today I encourage you to work towards your better condition! Work towards that health goal. That work goal. That educational goal. That family goal. A better condition of your relationship with God. A better condition of YOU! Spend this day intentionally carving out some time to do a check up on your labor towards your better condition. And FIGHT! Don't give up on yourself because you fell by the way side before. Don't give up on yourself because the enemy wants you to feel guilty for striving for better than before! Today you focus your attention on your better condition. - D. Michele

Today, I encourage you to examine your life and see what small alteration or movement you need to make to achieve a desired fit, appearance for result. So many are seeking God for various things and wondering when it will hit our lives! Today, you realize that YOU ARE FLEXIBLE! YOU CAN ADJUST. NO, things aren't perfect nor are you ready to make major moves, but you can adjust. You don't have to break. You can adjust. You don't have to give up. You can adjust. You don't have all the right words, but you can adjust your complaint to gratitude. Today I want to remind you that you are not breakable, you are flexible! SO FLEX and MAKE THE ADJUSTMENTS!! - D. Michele

One reason God created time was so that there would be a place to bury the failures of the past. The past is something that should be forgotten, unfortunately, a lot of people let it define them. So, why do we, especially believers, still hold on to things of the past? Why do we let others use the past to make us feel miserable? Scripture in Isaiah says “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing. You have a clean slate. I don't care if you have to tell yourself that every single day, SAY IT! Because today, It's the Clean Slate for me!! - D. Michele
