Train up a child in the way he should go [teaching him to seek God’s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents], Even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 (AMP)

Dennis Prager stated, “If you don’t teach kids good value, they won’t have them.” #WinnersMinute

Improve society by investing in your children—or...invest in the young people in your life. This doesn’t mean you should focus on giving them everything they want or following their every whim and desire. Focus...on teaching them how to love God and live wisely...

What is wrong with society today? Many people will have a list of opinions as to how they would answer that question. Today, though, I want you to stop pointing fingers at others and instead take responsibility for the future of our society. #WinnersMinute

So then, while we [as individual believers] have the opportunity, let us do good to all people [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the household of faith(born-again believers).Gal.6:10

Blessing other people brings a smile to their faces and to yours, kindness will always make the world a better place. #WinnersMinute

We all have ways we can be kind...Pay for the coffee of the person behind you in the drive-thru or find a meaningful way you can bless a close friend. Send a note to a family member or mow your neighbor’s lawn. #WinnersMinute

...Shaquille O’Neal was at a jewelry store and overheard a young man put an engagement ring on layaway. Shaq jumped in and said,“Tell your girlfriend I got it. I’ll take care of it.” It’s one of many random acts of kindness Shaq has done—and I hope it inspires you to do the same.

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

...ministering to others gets your mind off your needs. You’ll begin to think about how you can bring relief and help to someone else. You’ll become the blessing other people need,which in turn will impact you.King Solomon noted,“The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed.”

Handling negative thought patterns isn’t easy, but it is possible. One key to conquering them is to not let yourself wallow in them. Divert your attention away from destructive thinking. One way to do this is to connect with someone who is in need. #WinnersMinute

GPAN: Today is a new day! The day you take your matt and get up and walk away, move forward and run the race! Holy Spirit, You minister the race while You heal the broken hearted. I see the Church running the race and their broken hearts being healed all at the same time.

For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation. Romans 10:10 (AMPC)

Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9 (AMPC)

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord. Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV)

You shall establish yourself in righteousness (rightness, in conformity with God’s will and order): you shall be far from even the thought of oppression or destruction, for you shall not fear, and from terror, for it shall not come near you. Isaiah 54:14 (AMPC)

...[looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity]... Hebrews 12:2 (AMP)
