Things Money Cannot Buy

Money cannot buy you the finer things in life, for instance, your health.
Money can’t buy you happiness or joy, in fact, it causes you more pain.
Money cannot buy you peace, it can destroy an entire family.
Money cannot buy you life; only God is the giver of life.
Money cannot give you security, it only creates more fear.
Money cannot set you free, it enslaves you for fear of losing it all.
Money rules and dictates, it gives false hopes and creates more enemies.
Money does not bring true friends your way, it brings followers.
Money soon becomes an idol, if not careful, you begin to worship it.
Money can change you from being nice and humble to being proud and arrogant.
Don’t lose the finer things that money cannot buy, always remember to check.
Check once in a while that you have not lost the things that money cannot buy.
Do not make money your god, as there is no such thing as exactly enough in money.
It always makes you want it more.
Be careful what you do with it, make sure you spread it around.
If you hoard it, you will lose it, if you give it, you will gain more.
Invest your money and change the lives of others.
Help it give hope, feed the hungry, help the poor.
Money is a spirit, if you disrespect it, it will disrespect you.
If you are humble with it, you will obtain grace and favour.
If you are proud and look down on others, you are setting yourself up for a great fall.
Remember, the higher you climb, the more risk you have of falling a great fall.
Nobody is guaranteed they cannot lose it, so remember those you met on your way up.
Don’t forget them, as they might be your helpers on your way down.

Get Back Up Again

I would like to encourage you today by saying, “get back up again”. You can get back up again no matter how hard you fall. Get back up again and don’t be afraid of making mistakes, it is part of life’s building process. You must get back up again. Before you fell to the position you are in now, you must have been up at some point doing the right thing but because of an error or mistake you find yourself where you are now. I encourage you not to remain where you are but to get back up again. Though you fall, you can get back up again. You can do it, so get back up again! The only real mistake you and I can make is if we have not learnt anything from our errors, and that’s a big mistake. Mistakes enable us to work harder and see where we’ve gone wrong so we can correct our error. Life is all about making mistakes and realising what we could have done better, it helps us to work harder, it is a stepping stone to greater heights, so you should never be ashamed to own up to the fact that you have been in the wrong. Our mistakes help us to realise that at least we are wiser today than we were yesterday, so you can get back up again. Don’t blame your mistakes on others, own up to them, make amends and get back up again. You are not a mistake, you’ve only made an error and hopefully you are wiser today than you were yesterday, so please get back up again.

Is Your Heart Beautiful?

If I told you, you are beautiful, what would you say? Would you just say, “Get out of here, who are you trying to kid, do you know me?”

Beauty is the love that you share from the heart, your beauty is the smile that you give, it’s not in your face, it is the light that you share. Whatever is good is beautiful. Are you a good person? Then you are a beautiful person. There is beauty in everything, but not everyone can see beauty in everything. Today, I encourage you to remain beautiful. The beauty within will definitely reflect on to others so don’t believe the negative. The Bible says that when God created man, He saw what He had created and it was beautiful in His eyes. Your creator is not looking at the outward, He looks at the heart. True beauty can only come from the heart. Is your heart beautiful? Then you are beautiful!
