      You and your wife compliment each other. God created the two genders to compliment each other. The woman is meant to have submission under the man, but that’s it the man is with a mission and a purpose. The man needs to be submitted to God also. God gives you your mission and purpose. You are the head not the tail. Above and not beneath. Stay in the word of God every single day. Don’t miss out and the word of God as powerful as it is will change your life and guide you. And your spouse will be very happy to follow.

    The greatest man in history is Jesus. He had no servants, yet they called him master. He had had no degree, yet they called him teacher. He had no medicine, yet they called him healer. He had no army, yet kings feared him. He committed no crime, yet they sentenced him to death. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today.

    "Say thank you in advance for what is yours already..."
    “True desire in the heart, for anything good, is God's proof to you, sent beforehand, to indicate that it's yours already.”
    - Denzel Washington
    I have been listening to / watching this video for the past almost 4 years, as I was starting a new journey as a freelance actor. It's been very helpful and comforting to know that God is leading me and has been with me all this time. Because I can see that things and signs are happening to show me that the direction I took was right. May God bless Sir. Denzel Washington for all he has been preaching through his acting craft and art.

      I was just about to say the Hitler thing and how the animal was able to feel okay with turning a swastika into a horrible horrible image for a group of people that have issues changing their views on things it's very difficult to come back from the swastika. But the history of things need to be left as they are and actually talked about on both ends good and bad but it needs to be solidified and protected for us to do any good in any of this because without God we have nothing but we have God!!

    Don't be afraid to go outside the box .
    Make a plan,( Monthly goals, weekly goals, daily goals), apply discipline. And remember dreams without goals are just dreams.
    3. Help someone else .
    Finally: Go to your knees and put them in the hands of the Lord.

    Got me tearing up, thank you Denzel for your inspiring words. Always when I chose to put god first my life seemed more full and purposeful but when I chose to not do so my world seemed grim. True life and meaning is on that side with God, I can’t tell my whole story but I know he is true and everything I’ve been through is because he was trying to get me to this version of myself and I’m still on the path. Thank you God, for everything 🙏🏾
