    Yes, this is true. I am homeless with twin babies, but I am blessed. He has been preparing me for so many years in the wilderness. People may look at my life and think I’m a failure, but I know who I am in Christ!

    I often disregard the fact I'm doing better because I'm not doing perfect. God does not care about perfect outcomes. He cares about perfect intention, which often manifests as small steps that will eventually lead to greater things. Praise God.

    Right now, there are people all over the world who are just like you. They're either lonely, missing somebody, depressed, hurt, scarred from the past, having personal issues no one knows about, and have secrets you wouldn't believe. They wish, they dream and they hope. And right now, they are sitting here reading these words. You're never alone. Always remember, don't be depressed about the past, don't worry about the future, and just focus on today. If today's not so great don't worry! Tomorrow's a new chance. God is still writing your story, trust in him and all things are sure to turn good. God bless xx

A few weeks ago I saw one of your surmons and it related to me straight away. And every sermon I listen to relates to me. I'm down and out right now but God is still helping me in little ways.

    You’re Doing Better Than You Think You Are (Pastor Steven Furtick)
    * Better is a perspective
    * Better is not something you can see with your own eyes
    * I’m doing better
    * Better is subjective and relative
    * Better compared to what?
    * If you ever really get grace, you can’t fall away from God
    * Instead, you must switch your grip (your outlook/perspective)
    * In order to get to better, you have to go backwards
    * After we receive God’s grace, it’s hard for us to adjust to it because we’re accustomed to our own way of doing things
    * So, we often go back instead of moving forward into better
    * Be comfortable in your life to instant that sometimes loss is the way to gain
    * Be comfortable in your life to understand that some of the most painful moments in your life are the most purposeful moments
    * Be comfortable in your life to stop comparing yourself to people who are not meant to be the standard anyway
    * Jesus is better
    * Better is relative to purpose
    * Everybody has sinned and fallen short of the Grace of God
    * Grace is a way of life
    * Sometimes better is deeper rather than higher
    * Sometimes better is a foundation instead of a feeling
    * Better is not always what God is doing for you, but what God is doing through you
    * Better is right in front of us, so we often do not receive it
    * Sometimes we reject better when it comes
    * The only standard worthy of my comparison is the full potential is Christ in me (the hope of glory)
    * We don’t realize how better our lives already are

    This is true! Better is a perspective...from a health conscious-fitness lover💕who walks everywhere, I think 🤔 it is better to walk and get exercise 🆚 the people who pull over and ask me if I need I ride because I’m walking. Somehow, they think it’s better to drive everywhere. It’s definitely a matter of perspective!
    I feel I’ve accomplished sooo much after running, or “walking” my errands, knowing that I’ve just made my body, mind, and spirit 💪 stronger. DON’T EVER LET ANYONE TRY TO GET IN YOUR MIND & MAKE YOU FEEL BAD OR ASHAMED AT WHAT YOU KNOW TO BE THE HIGHEST GOOD FOR YOU!

    I've been feeling depressed and less than and I got an opportunity that's a total blessing from God, but I've been so terrified of it. So scared. I don't feel enough. This word I needed it. I needed it so much. This year has felt like i lost so much and yes its taken me backwards and it's brought me to my knees. And now I can honestly say I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm trusting God, cause I don't have a plan. Every step I'm taking I'm terrified, but I know God knows what he's doing with me even if I don't.

    “Sometimes some of us are used to so much bad, that we reject the better.” Absolutely. Better can be frightening… especially when you have endured bad. You view the better as another opportunity for it to turn bad. But it could be truly BETTER. Move forward my brothers and sisters. I needed to see this video when I did. Praise our Almighty Lord! AMEN! Thank you Steven and thank you JESUS❤️❤️‍🔥🙏🏻

I spend most of my time listening to Christian music and walking / being outdoors because it soothes me. I still struggle on comparing myself to others but now I’m learning not to as much.

    Comparison will always kill our JOY in serving God. If you are reading this today feeling hopeless for thinking that you're not enough, STAND YOUR GROUND brother/sister, recommit your life to JESUS and start finding your purpose in Him. ☝

    No idea why I'm telling this other then God told me to. But I've struggled with drug addiction for large part of my life and I've only recently came out of it because of Christ. He brought me out of it, because I myself can not fight those demkns, but through Christ I got strength lifts me above devils grasp. And even so we're all susceptible. Just remember every one we all have pasts , but God forgives while we sometimes keep our feeling we should shed. Praise God , glory, praise, and honor to king of kings our Lord Jesus Christ, who is only way to salvation. Another gift from God , who gave his only son to forgive us for our sins. Compassion we can never truly comprehend, God is good !

    People need to start having more faith in them selves. When you've done EVERYTHING you possibly can and things aren't changing, then you can pray or ask God for help.

    I love when people say “oh you have that big house all to yourself it’s just you and your son” “oh your so blessed to have that car” not knowing my lights just came on TODAY not knowing my water still off , not knowing the car in the yard needs a new transmission, not knowing 3 rooms in my house the ceiling is GONE . Not knowing I wish I was in a 1 bedroom because all the cleaning that needs to be done tuh …. Nawl don’t be jealous of me . “Oh your so strong minded I wish I was like you” not knowing I’m strong minded because I been in the wilderness for over 7 years . “Oh your so determined” not knowing for 28 years I gave up EVERYTIME I smelled trouble. Please don’t be deceived . I want God to bless me with a little 2/2 apt or house , because this is to much . You wanna own a home UNTILL you need a new roof or your electric needs rewiring there’s no landlord to call you are the landlord . At this point I rather rent !!!!! Be careful of what u ask for !!

    I needed to hear this today. I am in a marriage but we walked away almost a year ago but never filed for divorce. I was starting to grow and get better and I came running back and now I am starting to wonder why? Hearing this gave me a clear perspective on this. God was giving me better but I turned away out of fear. I do not belong here and this marriage ended a year ago even if we never filed for divorce. Coming back has shown me how much I was growing in god and I needed to come back to see that. Thank you!

    Amen. Better is a state of mind. This is what the bible teaches about. Battle fields of the mind. How we psych ourselves out. We block our own blessings. Joyce Meyer made a book on that as well. We keep thinking were not good enough and others are better than us. Regardless of finances, popularity, memory, status, job, etc. Were ALL equal in Christ. There is no condemnation in Him. What we can say is were all doing better than the fate of Satan!🙏💖

      Hello remember that GOD has a covenant in place for those that are in HIM. HE never allows lack in any way to overcome a believer, when they stand on HIS WORD. Believe that HE has and will supply all of your needs from HIS RICHES IN GLORY. You are well taken care of. Never fall into the trap of believing that you have to make it all happen. TRUST GOD for HE IS YOUR SOURCE! HE IS YOUR REDEEMER. JESUS CHRIST Died on the cross and suffered all so that we dont have to walk in certain things. Lack is one of them. Walk in peace that GOD Cannot and will not fail. Ask HIM for the confidence to stand steadfast and immovable in HIM. love you man. You will be fine.
