It Hurts To Love Someone And Not Be Loved In Return. But What Is More Painful Is To Love Someone And Never Find The Courage To Let That Person Know How You Feel.

*Change can be intimidating* but it is essential for growth, and the biggest obstacle to change is *ourselves.* Silence can be a more *powerful statement than words.*

*Life reminds you that you have the power* to shape your destiny, but you must first confront yourself with honesty and courage. *Your past behaviour speaks louder than any explanation.*

*Do not waste your words on someone* who is not willing to listen. Your silence is not weakness, but *it is proof of your emotional intelligence.* Do not drop down to their level.

*Distance is the only answer to disrespect.* Do not react. Do not argue, but simply remove your presence. *Never allow anyone to become too comfortable* with disrespecting you. The Lord Sustains.

Good morning, family members

Good morning gada.chat family I encourage us to keep hope alive for better days are coming don't be discouraged.

A few of the greatest lessons I have learned in life:

EVERYONE has an opinion.  NONE of them are right.

Being able to listen to all and believe NONE is a skill.  Truth works on its own time.  Otherwise, everyone would know it—which simply isn’t the case.

You have two ears and one mouth, therefore, listen twice as much as you talk.  You will grow wiser, faster.

The foolish young are idealistic know-it-alls whilst the wise elders are simply more practical.

Don't kid yourself.  But don't lose your inner child either.

Imagination is the creation-station relation.

The music you listen to is the soundtrack of your life.

Love is in the little things.

Fear is a projection of what is not KNOWN.

The heart reigns supreme when it is no longer foolish.

One who thinks themselves wise has a long way yet to go.  The road to wisdom has no end in sight.

What was noble yesterday has become nefarious today.  Nobility has a short life which requires continual renewal.

Where one fears to tread, someone has already traveled.  There is an example for every impossibility.

Bravery is earned through courageous choices. 

Freedom is an attitude.

Abuse is “inverted tolerance” of what you put up with in yourself.

Defeat is always optional.

"Why" is what you ask yourself.  "Who, what, when, where and how" is what you ask others.

Time is merely motion.  You don’t live BY it, you MAKE it.

A sharp tongue is equal only to a dull wit.

Unpleasant people are only required until you develop intolerance.

The law of thirds states that 1/3 of people (anything) are good, 1/3 are neutral and 1/3 are evil.  Who can say "I am all three at once!"?

Beauty is only eye deep.

Love is a series of the smallest actions, the tiniest notices and the realest moves.

I have many more hours in a day than most.  To rise early is an investment in your SELF.  It always pays over-time.

Freedom didn’t come until I lost control (the external world).  Then I found the power I was looking for (the internal world).
 
The sum of your human experience is where all elements meet.  The ground and the air.  The shore of water and earth.  The sunlight and your skin.  The mind and your heart.

The heart is the muscle of the mind.

Soul is something you develop over time.  It has no truer or greater expression than what makes YOU - unique to all else.

I do not OWN myself; I AM MY SELF.

To live YOUR purpose is to live ON PURPOSE.....

SIR, LEADERSHIP COMES WITH CRITICISM

A MESSAGE OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO SMK

Dear Distinguished Leader,

Your passion, resilience, and commitment to Southern Kaduna and Nigeria as a whole are deeply appreciated. But as you continue to lead with vision and dedication, please be reminded that criticism is a natural part of Leadership not a sign of failure, but a sign of relevance.

Even our Lord Jesus Christ, who performed miracles and preached love, was not free from critics. Despite healing the sick and feeding the multitudes, some still shouted Crucify Him. If the perfect One faced rejection, we must understand that no matter how good a Leader tries to be, he can never satisfy everyone.

Do not be discouraged by harsh words or misunderstandings. Let every criticism, even the unfair ones, strengthen your resolve. True Leadership is tested by how one handles opposition. In fact, the absence of criticism might mean nothing meaningful is happening.

Sir, your ability to endure, reflect, and keep moving forward in the face of criticism will only make your legacy stronger. Keep working, keep believing, and keep leading not to please men, but to serve your purpose and make a lasting impact.

Critics may be loud, but your results will always speak louder.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: WEDNESDAY 16TH JULY 2025

THEME: *POSITION FOR YOUR DESIRED CHANGE*

MEMORIZE
2 Corinthians 4:17
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

READ
Genesis 21:1-6
And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken.
For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.
And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Change is the only permanent story on earth.*

MESSAGE
One of the greatest lessons of life is the fact that "Nothing on earth remains the same forever; everything is subject to change with time."

*Change is the only permanent story on earth.*

This is why you should never give up in any situation; because sooner or later, that situation will change.
Father Abraham and Mother Sarah waited for several years for a child until all hope seemed gone. God showed up for them at the end of the tunnel and their story was changed. To somebody reading this piece, YOUR STORY IS ABOUT TO CHANGE IN A HURRY in Jesus name.

I prophesy to you today that YOUR WAITING SEASON will be turned into a HAPPENING SEASON WITH TESTIMONIES in Jesus' name.

*ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOU TODAY*
1. Don't give up no matter what you may be going through now. DIVINE silence is not divine absence.
2. No matter how long you have to wait, it will be worth all the waiting when God shows up for you. So wait a little more.
3. God has not abandoned you to sort out the issues of your life alone. He is at work in your life even if you can't perceive Him.

*Our circumstances do not spell doom, but an unbiblical approach in handling them does.*
*What the enemy is doing is not the issue. Your response is the issue.*

Things change positively in our favour when our approach and response to issues are in line with God's Word. However, everything takes the worst turn and also lingers when our approach is carnal and unbiblical.

Watch and pray always.

ACTION STEPS
1. Consider all your past trials and how God broke through for you; and be encouraged. This present situation will also come to an end very soon!
2. Refuse to negotiate retreat with the enemy over your destiny. It is too late to turn back.
3. Take some days off work to seek the face of God in prayers and fasting for a drastic change in your life.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh, LORD GOD of HOST arise set me at safety from my strong enemies. Send me encouragement to boost my Faith for continuity in my walk with you in Jesus name.

REMEMBER
*Change is the only permanent story on earth.*
