Charles Francis Adams, 19th century political figure and diplomat, kept a diary. One day he entered: “Went fishing with my son today–a day wasted.” His son, Brook Adams, also kept a diary, which is still in existence. On that same day, Brook Adams made this entry: “Went fishing with my father–the most wonderful day of my life!” The father thought he was wasting his time while fishing with his son, but his son saw it as an investment of time. The only way to tell the difference between wasting and investing is to know one’s ultimate purpose in life and to judge accordingly.
God’s PURPOSE for YOU is WAY BIGGER than ANYONE’S OPINION of YOU!
Story:
Galatians 6: 7. Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
This is a law not a suggestion. This is a law, like the law of gravity. A law is not a fluke that happens just every once in a while. No, it happens every time. Like the way the law of gravity operates. Every time you jump up, you will come down somewhere, sometime.
God is not mocked. If I went into a restaurant and ordered a meal then I am expected to give some method of payment to the restaurant. If I just got up and walked out the restaurant would not be able to operate very long. If I don’t pay they don’t intend to be mocked. They will probably get some person in authority to help them recover their money that is owed to them.”

Absolutely! Here’s your motivational blog for July 1:
Title: “Step Into July with Courage and Purpose”
Welcome to a brand new month — a fresh chapter full of possibility. July 1st isn’t just another date on the calendar; it’s an opportunity to realign, refocus, and reignite the fire within you.
Maybe June didn’t go the way you planned. Maybe you stumbled, got discouraged, or felt like giving up. That’s okay. Progress isn’t about perfection — it’s about persistence.
This month, remind yourself: your story is still being written.
You have the strength to keep going, even when the road gets tough. You have the wisdom to learn from the past and the courage to chase your goals — even if they feel out of reach.
Take a deep breath. Let go of last month’s frustrations, and walk boldly into this new season with faith and determination. Small steps still move you forward, and every effort counts.
As you start July, speak life into your journey:
“I am capable.” “I am resilient.” “I am moving forward.”
Don’t wait for motivation — create it. Show up for yourself. Set one goal, take one action, make one decision that aligns with your purpose. The rest will follow.
You’ve got this. July is your month to rise.

Perspective–seasoned by experience, you begin to understand what not to worry about. So that you can put your efforts into that which is productive and not in that which will energize your enemies by focusing on them and what they are trying to do.
If you start speaking to them you give life to them and make them bigger by focusing on them. You need to ignore what they are doing, and keep on doing what you are called to do. Because whatever you put your attention on you give life to. You make something or somebody important the moment you give it or them attention.
Whatever you give attention to you make important. If you want to kill something, ignore it. A lot of time Jesus answered them not a word. Let the silence settle.

Have you ever thought about having a personal, inner thermostat or regulator? If something goes wrong you know your thermostat, God will bring everything back in line.
It is like a checking account where you put in deposits and withdrawals. If you put a deposit amount that was actually a deduction you won’t balance or reconcile. If the Lord chastens you and you put on the withdrawal side you won’t balance or reconcile.
You must learn where to put things and make sure they are in perspective. It is like a wagon wheel it might be down at the moment but will roll right back up, if you will give it time.

Titus 2:6-8. Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded. In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
