GLORIOUS IMPACT Biblical encouragement & edification

Encouragement, edification, and empowerment from a biblical perspective for true transformation.

  • Acceptance

    “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” The Serenity Prayer This part of the Serenity Prayer speaks directly to me. Accepting what I cannot change puts me in a place to see what I can…

  • Affirmations and Change

    I was thinking about the previous post on November 27th, Change, and wanted to expound on that a little. Affirmations help us change; however, only if you believe what you are saying to yourself. Sure, repetition is key as we move forward in growth. It is important to understand that faith is a critical key…

  • Change

    Hello everyone. Today I come from a place in my heart. It is that if you really want things to change, you have to change things. Coming from a weekend of training on empowerment, I am excited that no matter how bad things may look, circumstances do change. How you perceive your circumstances is critical.…

  • Cry…Build…Get Over

    A little over a week ago, I was reading and came across this saying. “Cry a river, build a bridge and then get over it.” The simplicity of this statement struck a cord with me. In that vein, I would like to share my thoughts about it. I do not remember who wrote this. I…

  • Draw Near to God

    2nd Chronicles 7:14 “If my people who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their their sin and heal their land.” This Scripture is one of my favorites. There are four steps…

  • Self-Discipline and Change

    Self-Discipline and Change I have written about self-discipline before. Today I would like to offer a practical application. This application also offers a way to manage your time as well. Allocate a time slot to take at least one step towards a goal. For instance, everyday from 10 am to 11 am is devoted to…

  • Time and Blood, All Men Created Equal

  • Self-Care

    Hello, everyone. I wanted to make sure I connected today. I have been busy and sick. Started getting sick a little over a week ago. I had to rest this past week. I had no energy to do anything. Thought about coming down on myself and accepted that sometimes you just need rest. Being sick…

  • Don’t Become Weary in Well-Doing

    I want to encourage all my readers today with Galatians 6:9 – “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap eternal life.” This Scripture is very important for a believer because we have hope. Our souls are eternal and we must keep our eyes on doing well.…

  • Perfect Love Casts Out Fear

    bible.com/bible/116/1jn.4.18.NLT No fear. As a believer, we have access to an all powerful, all knowing, present everywhere God. We were given peace and the Holy Spirit to navigate this life. What do we really have to fear, giving away the power that is a gift to us? Are you living in the power of God’s…

  • Commitment

    I would like to discuss commitment. In my reading last week, one author posed that true commitment composes four elements. There is the mental component, the physical component, the financial component and the spiritual component. I would like to just put a note by each of these components leaving a framework for you to use…

  • Another Precious Ponder

    Sandra here with another precious ponder. I pray it resonates with you…

  • Self-Discipline

    This post is about self-discipline. However, I did want to make sure to add information about the difference between self-discipline and self-control. We understand that self-control is being able to control our temperaments and lustful desires. Self-discipline is about correction or regulation of oneself for the sake of improvement. Self-discipline is focusing on areas that…

  • Self-Control

    Self-Control is described as restraint exercised over one’s own impulses, emotions or desires. Galatians 5:23 – “…gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” Proverbs 5:21-23 – 21) For the Lord sees clearly what a man does, examining every path he takes. 22) An evil man is held captive by his own sins;…
