You

Happy Friday Friends!

I hope and trust this post finds you all having a great day and an awesome week coming to a close for you!

I am all fired up this morning Friends! My heart is greatly burdened - in a motivated, excited way - this morning for this Happy Friday. My spirit got a hold of me on this one early in the week, I have been praying about it, thinking about it, looking stuff up...it has been incredible! The cry of my heart this morning, what I desperately want you to understand, what I want to communicate to you is this; YOU are special! YOU are fearfully & wonderfully made! YOU are made for a purpose! YOU are perfectly equipped! YOU lack nothing to fulfill your purpose! How do I know this (I don't even know many of you personally)? First and foremost my bible tells me that each and every one of these statements is 100% true. You don't have to be a bible-believing person...I am and I have chosen to believe what my bible tells me. Second, in working with hundreds of thousand, possibly millions, of people in my life I have yet to find one piece of junk. Oh sure, some folks have lost their way, they are hurting, they are broken - aren't we all really?!?! - however underneath the lostness, the hurt, the brokenness, the pain is the special, fearfully made for a purpose, perfectly equipped, lacking nothing person they were created to become. Yes, I know this is true about YOU!

What I want to do this morning is share a bunch of quotes from many men and women. You will recognize some names, some you won't. You will see the names of athletes, politicians, philosophers, etc. and a whole bunch of people that I have no idea who they are. Please pay attention to the messages and let them speak to your heart. I am going to put a little thought of mine, how it strikes me, after them. Please don't let my thoughts/ideas get in the way of what your spirit speaks to you.
