The reason many of us are not happy with ourselves is because we are
living beneath our privileges. Many of us have shackled the hands of
God in our lives and settled for mediocrity instead of striving for
excellence. God wants to really do some miraculous things in our lives
this year, but because of our mentality, we forfeit those things. We
have to get God out of the mental box we have placed him in with our
words and our minds, and we must allow him to be great and mighty in
our lives!

Your situation is not going to change until you change your mind! Your
higher calling is not gonna be reached until you change the way you view
God and his power. You must let him be God. Stop saying that you
won't make it or you can't do it. Stop saying that you are not worthy
of it or you are not good enough! Stop allowing your situation to
speak to you. Just because you are in trouble does not mean that
trouble is in you! Your present circumstances and situations are not
inside of you, even though it may be happening to you. Just because
you are being tried or tested does not mean that you are the test or
trial! You just come out of it better than before and God will still
be God! You have all the potential in the world and God has all the
power, therefore, you should be everything that you are capable of
being with those ingredients. Your high calling is where your peace of
mind is, where your joy is, and where your blessings are.
You must get past this test so you can win the prize. Don't take the same attitude
you had before, but this year, make God look good through you! Let God
be God in your life this year and you will move closer to the prize.
