Our society greatly emphasizes material possessions such as cars, homes, and clothes. We tend to derive our value and social status from these things and aspire to acquire more money, houses, and vehicles. Despite our relentless pursuit of these things, we fail to find true happiness. Rather than feeling grateful for what we do have, we often envy those who have more than us, creating a sense of dissatisfaction in our lives.

As Christians, it can be challenging to live according to Biblical principles while also struggling with jealousy. Imagine constantly trying to outdo our neighbors, coworkers, or family members. The pressure to compete can be overwhelming and ultimately cause us to lose sight of what truly matters - relationships, children, and health. Placing too much value on material possessions can leave us feeling unfulfilled and create an inner tension that takes away from our happiness. Remember that true happiness cannot be achieved by accumulating material possessions,...

As Christian women, we often reflect on what it means to be faithful stewards of what God has given us. Stewardship is not just about managing resources but also about the commitment to honor God with all that we have. In everything we do, God calls us to be faithful with 100 percent, not just the parts we feel confident about or the areas that seem most comfortable. Being faithful in every aspect of our lives means committing our time, talents, finances, and relationships to God's purpose. It’s about giving our all, holding nothing back, and trusting that God will bless our faithfulness.

KJV Scripture

Luke 16:10 (KJV): “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.”

This verse highlights the importance of being faithful even in the smallest of matters. When we are trustworthy and diligent in the little things, God sees that we can be trusted with greater things. This principle applies to every area...

I discover many opportunities to impact the lives of others daily. I live in a world filled with others trying just as hard as I am to live their best life. Therefore, I seek to do my part when it comes to encouraging them.

I introduce myself when I encounter someone new. I look for ways I can reach out. Touching someone’s life is very important to me because it enhances my connections with them.

It is fulfilling to know that I affect others in ways that make their lives easier.

One method of impacting others is by offering encouragement. I believe that everyone needs as much encouragement as possible. To encourage is to give hope to someone or inspire them with confidence. Encouragement makes us continue working towards whatever we wish to accomplish.

I encourage others to achieve their goals whenever possible.

I feel thankful that something I can easily do means so much to those who I encounter. I am happy that I have the power to give courage and hope to another ...

Forgiveness and mercy are at the heart of Christian living. They are not just virtues admired from afar, but practices lived out in our daily interactions with others. The Bible emphasizes the importance of forgiving one another and extending mercy, reflecting the very character of God. When we forgive and show mercy, we mirror the love and grace that God has shown to us through Jesus Christ.

The Call to Forgive

Forgiveness is not optional for a Christian; it is a command. Jesus clearly states in Matthew 6:14-15, "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." This verse underscores the seriousness with which God views forgiveness. We are to forgive others as a reflection of the forgiveness we have received from Him.

Operating out of forgiveness means letting go of grudges, resentment, and the desire for revenge. It is about releasing others from ...

Many seek guidance to navigate life's complexities in a world of uncertainty and challenges. Christian life coaching offers a unique approach, combining practical wisdom with the timeless truths of the Bible. As a Christian life coach, the goal is to help individuals achieve their goals and do so in a way that aligns with God’s will and purpose for their lives. By integrating biblical principles, Christian life coaching provides a powerful personal growth and spiritual development framework.

The Foundation of Christian Life Coaching

At the core of Christian life coaching is the belief that God has a purpose and plan for each person’s life. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us of this truth: "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end." This verse is a foundational promise that God’s plans for us are good and hopeful. As a Christian life coach, the goal is to help individuals discover and walk in alignment w...

To be successful and maintain a healthy mental state, you have to learn how to balance your home and work life. It’s easy to get overwhelmed with one or the other, especially when one side starts to overcome the other.

Finding a way to be content with your life means spending enough time on both your work and your family or even just having downtime to yourself. Once you can balance your time, priorities, stress, and family dynamic, you will easily forge your way on the path towards success.

There are certain common elements that most women identify as saboteurs for their satisfaction. It might be that you feel you do not have enough time or feel stressed out and unable to prioritize things well.

Some ideas to set you on the right path:

- Time Is the Biggest Factor in Your Success and Happiness

Once you can fall into a schedule that brings balance to your work and home life, you will be more productive and content with where you are at, and the people around you will ...

It seems like we live in a dog-eat-dog society. We are always so concerned about ourselves that we fail to look at the big picture. It is almost like we no longer embrace a sense of community. We do not have compassion.

The trouble is, compassion is a powerful emotion, and it has many benefits.

1.  You Will Be Happier

Showing compassion to others is not simply altruistic. When you support someone else, it boosts your happiness. A study from Harvard showed that donating money can make you happier than using it yourself.

2.  Makes You More Attractive

Studies show that positive personality traits like kindness and compassion increase people's perceptions of attractiveness. People rated headshots more attractive when attached to a quality like compassion.

3.  Improves Your Relationships

Being compassionate is a key to solid relationships. Whether personal or professional, people will be more comfortable and receptive to you if you show compassion towards them and ot...

 Sadly, some communities describe praying to God almost as a type of genie. If you say the correct words at the proper time, then voilà, God grants your wish! We act like we know what we need in this life if only he would respond to our demands.

This attitude misses the whole point of what prayer is and what its purpose is.

The problem with this tactic is that prayer is about fostering a relationship. A relationship with the Creator of Heaven and Earth. The One who knit every one of your cells together, who knows you more deeply than you know yourself (Psalm 139:13-14). A relationship with God in prayer, based on the vending machine principle, is inherently self-centered spirituality.

In healthy relationships, you have the freedom to say “yes” or “no” to someone’s request. You can say “yes” if you want to cook dinner this evening. You can say “no” if you would rather go out for dinner instead.

You have the beautiful gift of free choice. Yet many Christians do not fe...

As I awaken, I am thankful for the new day and confident in managing the duties I must do today. I efficiently handle my work and home life so that both run smoothly.

I have a feeling of satisfaction, knowing that I can succeed on my own. My self-reliance gives me independence and permits me to live a life corresponding to my principles.

I am making it on my own, so I maintain reasonable expectations of others.

If I need something fixed at my house, I hire a professional rather than burdening my friends. I appreciate that everyone has families and responsibilities. Everyone deserves downtime.

I know that my responsibilities are mine alone. I trust myself to get the job completed effectively because I am confident in my success. I prosper through my hard work and take accountability for my life choices.

Because I am self-reliant and appraise each situation with a strong dose of levelheadedness, I am more contented than ever! It is not easy to disappoint me because I ...
