Greatness in Expression
Each of us is born for greatness. The only thing preventing you from experiencing your greatness is your own indecision about acknowledging and embracing the greatness within you. I encourage you to embrace your greatness today. Find a mirror, look into your own eyes and say, "I am Greatness in expression." Keep doing this until you are convinced. As you begin to believe it, others will notice the change in you and they will respond in kind.

According to Your Faith
Have you ever wondered why you don’t get the things you ask for in prayer? Have you ever heard someone say, “God always answers prayer but sometimes he says ‘No’?” Have you used that scenario as the reason you didn’t get what you asked for?
Well, the scripture says that “everyone that asks receives” (Matt. 7:8). Now the question becomes why did you not get what you asked for? I believe the answer to that question can be found in the Bible as well.
In Matt. 9:27-29, we find the story of Jesus healing two blind men. Jesus told them that they would be healed according to their faith. If prayer is answered based on faith, it behooves us to discover what we really believe. If we are not receiving the things we ask for in prayer, where is our faith? Our life experience shows us where our faith is. Fortunately, if we aren’t pleased with what we’re experiencing, we can change it by redirecting our faith.
