June 29, 2013 By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!   TODAY'S SCRIPTURE     "But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you." (Matthew 5:44, NKJV.) TODAY'S WORD    , if you're going to do anything great in life, if you're going to be a great businessperson, a great teacher, a great parent or a great leader, not everyone is going to cheer you on. I'd love to tell you that your family, friends and co-workers will celebrate you, but that's not the case. Some people simply can't handle your success. As you grow and increase, as God pours out His favor, somebody will get jealous. Somebody will start finding fault. Don't be surprised if a relative tries to belittle or discredit you. If you focus on making everyone around you happy, you'll start changing and lose sight of what God has placed in your heart. , your destiny is too great to be distracted by people who are never going to affirm you. Don't take it personally. It's not about you. It's their problem. Shake it off, run your race, be great anyway.     Greatness in the midst of criticism begins with forgiveness. Don't hold a grudge. Bless those who curse you; pray for those who spitefully use you. As you keep doing what is right, God will honor you. He'll promote you, and you'll see the dreams and desires that He placed in your heart come to pass!   A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY    Father, I come to You today with an open and humble heart. I choose to forgive those who have criticized me. I choose to bless those who have hurt me. I choose to be great because You have equipped and empowered me to rise higher in this life in Jesus' name. Amen. , we really do love you and we pray this will be the best year ever!
