YOU DESERVE HAPPINESS

God does not want you to sacrifice your happiness to keep somebody else happy. You should not take responsibility for someone else's poor choices. If you do, before long, that person will be controlling you and manipulating you. You needn't be harsh or uncaring, but sometimes we can be so good hearted and generous that we allow people to control us. At some point we have to realize that we are not helping that person anymore. Beyond that, now they are hurting us.

YOU HAVE A DREAM

The poor man, the rich man, the black man, the white man, every person has a dream in his heart. Your vision may already be clear to you, or it may still be buried somewhere deep in your heart, waiting to be discovered. Fulfilling this dream is what gives purpose and meaning to life. In other words, the very substance of life is for you to find God's purpose and fulfill it.

God has a dream and a vision for you that's supposed to carry you right out into eternity because that's what is pulling it. When you die, you're meant to leave this earth not on a pension but on a purpose. You need to make sure you can say at the end of your life, as Jesus did, "It is finished" (John 19:30) and not just, "I am retired," for your dream is much bigger than mere retirement. Every human being was created to accomplish something specific that no one else can accomplish. elevatechurchbhm.com
