The Power Of Showing Up

It’s July 10, and maybe today doesn’t feel extraordinary. No spotlight. No big breakthrough. But here’s the truth: just showing up is a victory.

Every great story has quiet chapters—moments when the hero doesn’t slay the dragon, but simply keeps walking. That’s where real strength is revealed. You may not be where you want to be yet, but the fact that you haven’t quit speaks volumes.

📖 The Bible reminds us:

“Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” – Hebrews 12:1

Endurance doesn’t require perfection. It requires persistence. It’s waking up and deciding, “I may not have all the answers, but I won’t give up today.”

💡 Quote of the Day:

“Success is 80% showing up.” – Woody Allen

Even when it’s hard…

Even when no one notices…

Even when you feel like you’re crawling instead of running…

Keep showing up.

📌 Keep praying.

📌 Keep loving.

📌 Keep believing.

You don’t need a perfect plan—you just need a little faith and a willingness to take the next step. Consistency beats intensity every time.

So don’t underestimate today. It may feel small, but small steps build strong foundations. And your breakthrough might be waiting on the other side of this ordinary day.

FAN of JESUS or if

YOU ARE COMPLETELY

Story:

There’s a Spanish story of a father and son who had become estranged. The son ran away, and the father set off to find him. He searched for months to no avail. Finally, in a last desperate effort to find him, the father put an ad in a Madrid newspaper. The ad read: Dear Paco, meet me in front of this newspaper office at noon on Saturday. All is forgiven. I love you. Your Father. On Saturday 10 Pacos showed up, looking for forgiveness and love from their fathers.

Scripture:

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.

You area Stronger Than You Think You Ate

It’s July 9, and today, I want to remind you of something you may have forgotten:

You are stronger than you think.

Life has a way of making us doubt ourselves. Setbacks. Delays. Unexpected storms. But the fact that you’re still standing, still reading this, still pushing forward—that says something powerful about you.

🧱 You’ve survived 100% of your hardest days.

You’ve made it through things you didn’t think you could. That same strength is still in you today.

📖 Here’s what the Bible says:

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” – Psalm 46:1

You don’t have to do it all alone. God is not watching from a distance—He’s walking with you. Lean into His strength when yours runs low.

💬 Quote of the Day:

“You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice.” – Bob Marley

🌅 Today isn’t just another Monday—it’s another chance to rise, rebuild, and reclaim your confidence. Even if progress feels slow, keep going. Each step forward, no matter how small, is a victory.

So straighten your shoulders. Lift your head. Take a deep breath.

You’re not weak—you’re being refined.

And God isn’t finished with you yet.

Many turn from Jesus because of BAD EXPERIENCES 

with RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.

Jesus also had a BAD EXPERIENCE with Religious people; THEY CRUCIFIED HIM!

Story:

 

Ask a gossiper these 5 questions before hearing the story.

1. What is your reason for telling me? 

2. Where did you get your information?

3. Have you gone to those directly involved? 

4. Have you personally checked out all of the facts? 

5. Can I quote you if I check this out?

Scripture:

Proverbs 11:13-14

A talebearer revealeth secrets:

but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

Where no counsel is, the people fall:

but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.

Don’t Let The Delay Fool You

Certainly! Here’s your motivational blog for July 8:

💪 July 8 – Don’t Let the Delay Fool You ⏳

Motivational Blog by Dale Cantrell

Today is July 8, and maybe you’re wondering:

“Why haven’t things changed yet?”

“Why is it taking so long?”

“Am I even making a difference?”

Let me encourage you—delay does not mean denial. Just because you can’t see results yet doesn’t mean your efforts are wasted.

🎯 Faith grows in the waiting.

It’s in the silent seasons that your roots go deep. It’s in the pauses that God prepares your purpose. You’re not stuck—you’re being strengthened.

📖 Remember what Scripture says:

“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles…” – Isaiah 40:31

Don’t let the silence convince you to give up. Don’t let the delay fool you into quitting. What you’re hoping for might be just on the other side of one more step.

🔥 Quote of the Day:

“Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.” – Earl Nightingale

🌱 What you water today might not bloom tomorrow—but it will bloom. Stay faithful. Keep showing up. Keep believing in what you started. Delays may stretch you, but they also prepare you to handle the blessing when it comes.

Your breakthrough could be closer than you think.
