Life has thrown me a curve, it hasn't been fair but I am at peace. I know God is still in control.
If you are going to reach your destiny, you have to learn to kiss things goodbye. You are not going to understand everything that happens, people may walk away, life may not turn out the way you thought. It is easy to get bitter, hold a grudge, lose your passion but kiss the bitterness goodbye, kiss the person that left you goodbye, kiss the dream that didn't work out goodbye.
God wouldn't have allowed it to happen if he didn't have something better up in front of you.
Sometimes God will close the door, he will move people out of your life. There are people and opportunities that were ordained in your past that are not ordained in your future. They were right for a season but that season can come to an end.
Your latter days are better than your former days
God knows how to give you beauty for ashes. He knows how to turn mourning into dancing.
Are you at peace with your past or are you bitter over the lost, upset because your plans didn't work out, holding a grudge because that person walked away. It is time to kiss some things goodbye. Don't bring bitterness into a new year, don't bring self pity, a chip on your shoulder. That was in your past, it doesn't belong in the future.
You can't embrace the new things God has in store as long as you are holding on to the old.
You won't have the strength to move forward if you are weeping over what is behind. Takes a lot of energy to think about the past, relive the hurts, wonder why it didn't work out.
That person you lost, if they were supposed to be here, they would still be here.
If somebody left you, you don't need them.
If it didn't work out the way you had planned, it wasn't supposed to. God's ways are not our ways.
Start kissing things goodbye. You spend enough energy on the past, that doesn't take you anywhere
Kiss that disappointment goodbye. That door didn't close by accident, God is directing your steps. It was either not the right time or because he has something better.
God is called the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. We get excited about the beginning, talked a lot about God doing a new thing, but we don't hear a lot about the omega, the end. And just as God opens doors, sometimes God will close the door, he'll bring things to an end. And this can be hard for us, because it feels like a setback.
Don't bring a failure from yesterday into today.
If one dream dies, get back up and dream another dream.
When life doesn't turn out the way you thought, remind yourself, God is still in control. Instead of being sour, losing your joy, kiss the disappointment goodbye. Quit reliving mistakes that you've made. Things that you wish you would have done different, wondering why it didn't work out.
You may have done your best, giving it your all, but it didn't succeed. Accept it as God's plan and move on.
God I trust you not just with my successes, I trust you with my failures, I trust you with the betrayals, I trust you with the things that don't make sense.
When you kiss the past goodbye, it releases you into your future.
You have to be at peace with what's behind you, it's not enough to just move forward angry, bitter, mad at God. Kissing things goodbye symbolizes this is painful, I don't like it, I feel betrayed, but I'm in peace. Takes maturity to kiss things, that don't feel good.
God is asking us: how long are you going to mourn over what you've lost? How long are you going to be discouraged over who hurts you, and what you didn't get, and the boss that wasn't fair?
If you stay in self-pity with a chip on your shoulder, thinking you have a reason to live defeated, you will never see the vindication, the restoration, the promotion the favor, that belongs to you.
God wants to pay you back, for what was unfair. Don't sit around in self-pity, kiss the bad break goodbye, kiss the unfair childhood goodbye, kiss that injustice goodbye.
If you'll kiss this disappointment goodbye and start moving forward, I'll show you the new. One of your dreams may have died, that didn't stop God's plan, he has another dream. One relationship may not have worked out: if you kiss goodbye the old, God will show you the new.
When God makes up for what you lost, it's not going to be less than, it's not going to be equal, it's going to be better.
Just because it hasn't turned out the way you thought, doesn't mean you have to settle for second best.
God already knew what would happen. He knew every door that would closed, he knew every person that would walk away, he knew how you'd spend time and energy, but a dream not come to pass. All that is getting you prepared for where God has taken you.
Now don't get stuck mourning over the setback, disappointed over a bad break, bitter because of a loss. Kiss it goodbye, move forward and you will see your new, you will see more than you can ask or think.
God is still on the throne, this is not a surprise to him, we are going to stay in faith and believe something better is coming.
Kiss it goodbye, move forward. When things happen like that, that you don't understand, you can be sure, God is up to something, he is working behind the scenes.
If God wanted us to have something, no person could have stopped us. If God doesn't want us to have something, all of our efforts won't make it happen. He's the alpha and the omega, he knows how to not only open doors that no man can shut, he knows how to close doors that no man can open.
Be at peace with your past, peace with things you don't understand, not bitter, not angry, not with a chip on your shoulder. God knew how you would be, that's not going to keep you from your destiny, it's leading you to your destiny. Kiss it goodbye and move forward.
You can't become who you were created to be with the chip on your shoulder, thinking that you're at a disadvantage. If you'll take the hand you been dealt and make the most of it, God will open doors you couldn't open, his favor on your life will take you, where you couldn't go on your own.
Don't bring a bad attitude into a new year
You have to put your foot down and say, I am not coming into a new year with old thinking. I am kissing the chip on my shoulder goodbye, I'm kissing the guilt goodbye, I'm kissing a barely get by mentality goodbye. When you kiss it, this means in your mind you're putting it into it. You're saying, this addiction is not going to control me anymore, I am free.
You've made a lot of mistakes. Yes, but I've kissed them goodbye. I am not living in regrets, beating myself up, I am forgiven, I am redeemed I'm wearing a robe of righteousness.
You need to announce to that dysfunction, you may have been in my past year, but I have bad news you are not in my current and future year.
Mediocrity, depression, bitterness, anger, I'm kissing you goodbye. I won't be seeing you this year, we are parting ways,
Kissed loneliness goodbye. Father, thank you, that you have somebody awesome already headed my way, thank you, that the right person is chasing me down.
Goodbye lack, struggle, not having enough, you were in my yesterday, but sorry, you're not in my today. Father, thank you, that I will lend and not borrow. Thank you, that whatever I touch will prosper and succeed.
Maybe you need to kiss goodbye to the way you see yourself: inferior, unattractive, not a good personality, not talented enough - kiss that wrong self-image goodbye.
Victory starts in your thinking. Abundance, health, freedom, it starts in our mind. You can't think the same way and expect different results.
Start embracing who God says you are: you are fearfully and wonderfully made, you are a masterpiece, you have been crowned with favor, you have royal blood flowing through your veins. Nobody in this world has your same fingerprints, you didn't come up in assembly line, you are an original, one-of-a-kind, made in the image of Almighty God.
Quit letting people hurt your feelings, quit letting what they say ruined your day, tune it out.
It's a test. God is seeing if you're ready to go to the next level. Are you going to get upset, bitter, start thinking about how you're going to pay them back or are you going to kiss it goodbye and keep running your race, enjoying your life? Those adversaries are getting you prepared for your destiny. Where you're going, there will be opposition, critics, people trying to pull you down.
No weapon formed against you will prosper, they cannot stop you. The forces that are for you are greater, than the forces that are against you.
Stay focused on what God has put in your heart. You don't have time to get distracted by all the negative chatter.
There'll always be somebody, that doesn't like you, kiss it goodbye and keep moving forward.
Your time is too valuable to spend it with peace stealers, people that try to get you all riled up, or with dream killers, people that tell you what you can't become, or with compromisers, people that cause you to give in to temptation.
What you're unwilling to walk away from is where you'll get stuck. If you don't kiss the wrong people goodbye, you'll never meet the right people.
If someone is not adding value to your life, making you better, pushing you toward your destiny, you need to make a change. And sometimes it's just a new season. The friends you had five years ago may not be the friends you need now. Everybody can't go where you're going. It doesn't mean they're not good people, you've just outgrown them, you're going at a faster pace. If you continue hanging around them, it will limit your growth. You need to gradually spend less and less time with.
If someone is supposed to be in your life, you can't make them leave and if someone leaves easily, they're not supposed to be there.
You don't have to convince anyone to love you, to call you, to come see you, you are a gift, you are a prize, you have something amazing to offer, if they don't want to be there, that's a sure sign, they're not supposed to be there. God has people already ordained, that you can't make leave, people that want to celebrate you, people that love spending time with you. If somebody wants to leave, let them leave. Your destiny is not tied to the people that walked away. Be respectful, but kiss that person goodbye.
Sometimes you have to kiss people goodbye, so you can become all you were created to be.
Don't let people talk you out of what God put in your heart. When you come to the end of life, you're not going to have to stand before people and give an account, you're going to stand before God.
Is there something you need to kiss goodbye? A hurt, a bad attitude, an area that you're compromising in. Don't bring it into a new year, that's in your past, doesn't belong to your future.
You can go through life holding on to hurts, wrong attitudes, with people that are not good for you, but that will keep you from new levels, from the high calling, that belongs to you.
It's time to start kissing things goodbye. Kiss that failure goodbye, this is a new day. Kiss guilt goodbye, you've been forgiven. Kiss the bad break goodbye, God has something better. If you'll do this, I believe and declare, you're about to come into the high calling, new doors are going to open, new relationships, favor, healing, breakthroughs, the fullness of your destiny in Jesus name.
