About the magazine:

I have created this magazine for the purpose of helping the less fortunate people out there to get a second chance in life. When you buy my book I give 50% of the money to the Gods Haven foundation. Im trying to inspire people with wisdom and a positive mind and a bit more insight to some of the things.
If you can deliver some of your old clothes to me I will appreciate it and If you can bring some food to help the people who dont have and I would like some tents aswell eventually I would like them to sleep in a tent rather than in the cold and on the floor and if you have a sponge mattress to bring please bring it you can email me thersiabreedt@gmail.com then I will tell you where to come deliver the goodies.

I would like to make a change in this world and you can also help me to do this I wont mind. There is so many people out there that are struggling shame man lets help them.

There must be some things lacking in your life and Im glad to know that there is somebody who can give me anything I need or desire and that is our God. Anything your heart desires can be given to you isnt that good news. God is our Shepherd and what shepherds do is watch over their sheep and we are Gods sheep He will always take us to places where there is green pastures (place to grow from) we will have green grass to eat from not dead yellow grass. God is a God of new things not of old things He wants to bring new seasons into your life are you tired of having only one season in your life like winter that is cold and everything is dying in your life well God wants to bring Spring into your life where everything is starting to grow again and there is new flowers and leaves you can see new things happening in your life and new fruit is growing on the trees for harvesting time. When you grow fruit on trees the obvious procedure is water your tree right, well your tree needs water (Word of God) to grow (as child of God). So the small bud appears first that will be your idea or your dream or the thing that you prayed about appearing in a bud its not fully grown yet, it just started to grow but for your bud to grow you need more water (the Word of God) to grow until you have your ripened fruit ready for harvesting. I see my tree in the growing (my soul) and I feed it with water to grow (the Word of God) and now I prayed for a new thing in my life to happen now I have to feed my soul with the Word of God to come the point of actually getting my dreams come to pass I will have to pray and believe God and go to a church that helps me to grow as a child of God and then I will grow my fruit. There can be anything new in your life to start with like you will need some new intelligence, ideas (green grass) not old died out ideas. You can start life with something fresh just ask God He is a prayer away. God will give you everything your heart desires.

Personal Development

Spring time is near are you ready yet? Yes lets change our personal development lets become more successful for this spring! We are changing seasons soon, and to change we need some things to happen, like when winter changes to spring warmer weather needs to happen and flowers start to grow. So are our lives to change every year for the better. At the end of the year you can be better off than you were or you can be worse off. Spring means rebirth, renewal and regrowth. We need to renew our minds to attain a better life than the one we have right now and regrowth in our personal development to become better and more successful in our lives and rebirth of dreams.
We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly. . . spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order. Susan Taylor

Don't become like the people of this world. Instead, change the way you think. Then you will always be able to determine what God really wants-what is good, pleasing, and perfect. Romans 12:2

There is an opportunity for us to renew ourselves. There's an opportunity for us to leave the past behind and present something different for the future.
Jay Weatherill

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did so. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Mark Twain

Gods Love letter to you.

I love you! (John 3:16) I created you in my image (Genesis 1:27) and I called you very good (Genesis 1:31). I knit you together in your mothers womb (Psalm 139:13). I know the number of the hairs on your head (Matthew 10:30) and I am familiar with all your ways (Psalm 139:3). My precious thoughts of you are as countless as the sand on the seashore (Psalm 139:17-18).I am Love (1 John 4:16) and the greatest commandment that I have for you is that you love (Matthew 22:37-40). My love is made complete in you when you receive my love, love me, and love others (1 John 4:7-21). To show you how to live this life of love Ive given you Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:117), laws that honor me and are good and pleasing to you (Psalm 119). But you were born in sin, separated from my love, (Psalm 51:5) and though youve tried to be good youve missed the mark of my holiness (1 John 1:8). Youve hurt others and youve hurt yourself (Romans 2:9). Most of all, your sins are against me (Psalm 51:4). Youve hurt me (Luke 19:41) and angered me (Romans 2:8). I am the Lord (Exodus 6:2), the King of Kings (1 Timothy 6:15), and the Righteous Judge (1 Peter 4:5) and it is a terrible thing to come under my judgment (Hebrews 10:31).So to fear me is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7). But you dont need to remain afraid of me; if you rely on me then my perfect love will remove all of your fear (1 John 4:18). I am a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in love and faithfulness (Exodus 34:6). Now, in the person of Jesus Christ, I knock on the door of your heart, waiting for you to let me in (Revelation 3:20). Open the door and I will forgive your sins (Acts 10:43) and choose not to remember them anymore (Isaiah 43:25). I will teach you how to live your daily life with me in the kingdom of the heavens (Matthew 4:17). I will adopt you into my family (Ephesians 1:5) and lavish on you my fatherly love (1John 3:1). Then you will marvel that I chose you to be my child (Ephesians 1:11-12) and I drew you to myself (John 6:44).You see Ive loved you from the beginning, long before you loved me (1 John 4:19). I sent my son Jesus, the exact representation of my being (Hebrews 1:3), to die on the cross in your place (Romans 5:8), to take upon Himself the punishment that you deserved (Isaiah 53:5), and to take away your sin (John 1:29). For you the mighty Lion sacrificed his life as an innocent Lamb (Revelation 5:5-6). So you can see that in Jesus I, your Lord and Master, have come to serve you! (John 13:13-14) When you are born again by my Holy Spirit (John 3:3) then you become a new person (2 Corinthians 5:17) with a new heart (Ezekiel 36:26), a new self (Ephesians 4:24), and a new life (Romans 6:4). You have my precious righteousness as a gift (Romans 5:19). Your body becomes a temple for my Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19) and you become a saint (Ephesians 1:18).Indeed, I will make your righteousness to shine like the dawn (Psalm 37:6). You will be a crown of glory in my hand (Isaiah 62:3), reflecting my likeness with everincreasing glory (2 Corinthians 4:18). I am faithful to help you to be holy (1 Thessalonians 5:24) and to complete the good work Ive started in you (Philippians 1:6). So stand firm in my grace (Galatians 5:1) and fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12). When you are tempted to sin, look for the way out that I provide (1 Corinthians 10:13). Resist the devil and submit to me (James 4:7); turn away from sin and toward the good that I provide (Romans 12:21). And when you fail remember that I am waiting for you with open arms, quick to forgive you and to give you another chance (Luke 15:11-31). Satan will accuse you, but call out to Jesus and I will defend you and enable you to overcome him (Revelation 12:10-11). I will rescue your true self from sin (Romans 7:14-25) and condemnation (Romans 8:1).Remember that the pleasures of sin are fleeting (Hebrews 11:25) and if you find your delight in me instead then you will see that I give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4) eternal pleasures even! (Psalm 16:11) and I do far more for you than you can imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Whatever you need, look to me and I will provide it (Philippians 4:19). I will give you love, joy, peace, and all the fruit of my Spirit to fill your soul and for you to share with others (Galatians 5:22-23). Since I care so much for you dont worry about getting your needs met and dont worry about tomorrow (Matthew 6:25-34). Just as I look after the little sparrow so will I look after you (Matthew 10:26-31).

So give your burdens to me and let me give you rest (Matthew 11:28). Talk to me when youre anxious and let me put you at peace (Philippians 4:6).No matter what happens your soul will be safe in my hands (John 10:28). Like a mother bird Ill cover you with my feathers in my nest (Psalm 91:1-4). When rivers of difficulty roar you will not be swept away. When fiery trials blaze you will not be burned (Isaiah 43:2). When war breaks out I will be your fortress, an everpresent help in trouble (Psalm 46). Even when you face death I will take you by the hand and lead you on the joyful path to eternal life (Psalm 16:9-11).So dont be afraid when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death because I am your Good Shepherd and I will be with you, comforting you and protecting you on your journey (Psalm 23), and I will never leave you (Hebrews 13:5). When enemies come against you I will fight for you (Psalm 44:7). Even when you do what is right people will insult you, criticize you, and mistreat you, but I will bless you (Matthew 5:11). Even when you trust your father and mother they may forsake you, but I will receive you (Psalm 27:10). So if you find yourself poor remember that Ive blessed you with true riches (Luke 6:20). And if you find yourself last in line remember that with me those who are last will be first! (Matthew 20:16). Yes, I will raise you up and exalt you when you are humble before me (Matthew 23:12).When you are brokenhearted I will draw close to you (Psalm 34:18) and cry with you (John 11:35). Ill collect all your tears in my bottle and record each one in my book (Psalm 56:8). Like a shepherd holding his lamb, Ill carry you close to my heart (Isaiah 40:11). Ill comfort you in your time of sadness (Matthew 5:4), turning your mourning into gladness (Jeremiah 31:13) and your weakness into strength (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). I will put a happy new song in your mouth (Psalm 40:3) and give you a beautiful new name (Isaiah 62:2).Even the difficulty and pain you experience can be to your benefit if you endure these hardships as loving discipline from me, opportunities for you to be trained in the ways of righteousness and peace (Hebrews 12: 6-11). Always remember that when you love me and seek my purposes that all things will work together for your good (Romans 8:28). I am for you and not against you! (Romans 8:31) If I have been misrepresented to you by religious people who claim to know me but dont, (John 8:41-44) then know that I am against those hypocrites (Matthew 23). And if your earthly father has not shown you my fatherly love, then please realize that I offer you more than he ever could (Matthew 7:9-11). I am the perfect Father (Matthew 5:48), the Father from whom all true fatherhood derives

its name (Ephesians 3:15), and I love to give you good gifts (Matthew 7:11).With me on your side your future is bright and full of hope! My plans are to prosper you and not to harm you (Jeremiah 29:11), to give you abundant life (John 10:10) now and forever (John 3:36). So call to me and I will answer you (Jeremiah 33:3); listen and you will hear my voice directing you (Isaiah 30:21); tune into your heart and you will sense my instructions (Psalm 16:7). My Holy Spirit will be your Counselor (John 14:15,26; 16:7). So dont walk alone; walk in my Spirit (Galatians 5:25), trust in me and I will direct your path (Proverbs 3:4-5) and bless you wonderfully (Ephesians 1:3).I have gifted you to serve me in my kingdom (Matthew 25:14-23) and I want to make you great! (Psalm 18:35). So discover your gift and use it in the body of Christ (Romans 12:4-8). I have important work for you to do, work that I will help you to accomplish by working alongside you (Haggai 2:4). Together we can accomplish great dreams (Mark 10:27) and move mountains! (Matthew 17:20).You are the light of the world so shine my light to those who are lost (Matthew 5:14). Show your love for me by loving those who are in need (1 John 3:17-18). You serve me when you feed the hungry, provide shelter for the homeless, clothe the poor, care for the sick, and visit those in prison (Matthew 25:34-40). And always be prepared to talk to the hopeless in a respectful way about the good news of my grace demonstrated in Jesus (1 Peter 3:15). Do these things for people from every nation and every language, training them to follow Jesus (Matthew 28:19-20). But youre not just my servant: youre my friend! (John 15:15) More than that youre my beloved child! (1 John 3:1) Youre precious and honored in my sight (Isaiah 43:4) and I rejoice over you with singing! (Zephaniah 3:17). I delight in you like a bridegroom for his bride (Isaiah 62:5). I will always love you! (Jeremiah 31:3) and nothing can ever change that! (Romans 8:38-39).One day soon in Jesus I will return to bring you and all my followers to the heavenly home that I have prepared for you (John 14:2). I will wipe away your tears and take away your pain forever (Revelation 21:3-4) and I will reward you for all the good that youve done in my name (Revelation 22:12). Heaven will be more beautiful and wonderful than you can imagine (Revelation 21:10-27). There we will sing to God with angels (Revelation 7:9-17), feast at banquets (Matthew 22:14), and rule over cities (Luke 19:11-26). Love, God

I hear your voice when you call me in the morning. Ps 5:3

Be courageous for I am with you and will never fail you. Deut 31:6

I see all your hardships and I care about your sufferings. Ps 31:7

ets create an inspiration portrait for us to look at everyday to inspire us to improve our lives. As I quote, Whatever a person can conceive and believe, a person can achieve. If you can train your mind to see what you want in your life, then you can make it happen. We do become what we think about, so lets envision and think our lives into what we want them to be and put the things that we want on paper like example if you want a new car and house get a picture of it and paste it onto a paper so that you can look at it every day and become inspired to get what you want.

It's like in the Great Stories, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too young to understand why. But I think I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something-that there's some good in the world, and it's worth fighting for!

Perhaps the very best question that you can memorize and repeat, over and over, is, what is the most valuable use of my time right now?

Many historical figures kept work diaries or journals. Ben Franklin, John Adams, Andy Warhol, and countless others have recorded the events of their day in some form. While these historic diaries are incredibly fascinating for us to read today, the benefit they gave to the writers was probably far greater. Richard Branson has written bestsellers based largely off of his years of recording his daytime thoughts and working experiences into journals. My process is pretty simple: At the end of each day I'll recount what worked, what didn't, and some other random things that happened during the day. There isn't a lot of structure, just merely stream of thought that lasts about fifteen minutes. Sometimes I'll vent in wordy prose, other times I'll just make a quick list. I've found that it's not so much what or how I write, but rather that I do it. The results have been profound for me. I'd recommend this practice to anyone. Here's why: 1. The release If anything, it feels good to unwind and recount the bits of the day. There's something about the finality in writing something down on paper that makes it more real, and makes the memories stronger. I doubt I'd be able to remember half of what I did throughout the day if I didn't recount them. It also helps with answering that recurring question of "Where did the day go?!" 2. An honest overview If you're like me, you keep lists of stuff that needs to be done throughout the day. I've had days where the morning started with 15 things on the list, and ended with 13 left undone. Ouch. Yet being able to recall the day allows me to see some of the other things I did get done that weren't on the list.

14

3. See the wins We often forget the things that we got done during the day for lots of reasons. We're taught at an early age that what we do isn't as important as what we didn't do. After all, what we don't get done often impacts us more in work and other social settings. This causes us to automatically shove the stuff we did accomplish into the back of our minds, and fret about the undone. However, focusing on what we have donethe winsin our day rejuvenates. Going to bed looking at what was accomplished can be a massive motivator to help start the next day, and can keep us from closing the day on a sour note. 4. Minimize your mistakes One definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over again, while expecting a different outcome. Similarly, it's easy to plow through each work day like the last, without giving a second thought to the events of the day. This is especially true for our bad days. On our worst days, we simply want to unwind and not have to relive the nightmare that was the previous working day. But it turns out the worst parts of our days are important to remember as well (even though it stings). Reverse engineering what went wrong is helpful to ensure it doesn't happen again, and work journals are perfect for this. 5. A new perspective on your day The most helpful part of this exercise for me is getting perspective on what my days end up looking like. After a particularly bad day last month I reflected, stiff drink in hand, on all the events of the day. This helped me to see that my day wasn't as bad as I had remembered it. In fact, it was a really decent day, minus a couple setbacks towards the end. In my mind I had made these setbacks out to be more important than they were. The day wasn't a total loss after all! Perspective is everything. As our days move by us faster and faster, it becomes that much more important to take a breath, and reflect on what happened during the day. Without the perspective of our days, we can't really take satisfaction in our big wins, nor can we learn from our mistakes.

It is never too late to be who you might have been.

According to a recent survey, about 75% of the population do not know what their true passion is. Clearly, almost everyone seems to not be doing what they were meant to do. This is an eye-opener because doing what we really love is absolutely necessary if we want to be fully happy. Perhaps this is why there is so much unhappiness going on in our society, people just arent doing what they are here on Earth for. Finding your true passion isnt as simple as it may seem. For some, yes it does come naturally, but most of the time, you have to ask yourself some questions to pinpoint exactly what you were born to do. Here are my 7 questions that can guide you to finding your ultimate passion:

What puts a smile on your face? Is there a particular event, a particular topic that makes your whole face just lighten up? Whatever it is that makes you smile, and makes you happy whenever you encounter it, this is a sign of something you are passionate about. I truly believe that happiness and passion walk hand in hand. Both require each other. So following what makes you truly happy is a wonderful way to figuring out what you were put on Earth for. Think about something that you do or that perhaps you used to do that brings total peace to you when you do it. Peace is happiness, and happiness is passion. What do you find easy? Usually, what we find easy for us to do, will be related to what we are passionate

about. Its very hard to hate something that is very easy for us! For example, lets say you are naturally good at playing the piano, you will find the activity easy, and this ease makes it much more fun for you. Fun leads to happiness and happiness is synonymous with passion So assess everything that you do, whatever it is that you find really easy and fun, this may very well be your passion. And dont think that anything is off limits or silly. Some people have taken their passion for skateboarding, drawing, or collecting to full fledged careers. Remember this, you can make a career out of anything you are passionate about. What sparks your creativity?

16

I was always full of creativity when playing sports. Later in life, I developed similar creativity in business. Think about something in your life where you seem to always expand its horizon, always coming up with new, fun, and exciting ideas relating to that subject. Whatever makes you creative, is probably something that you are very passionate about. What would you do for free? In this society, we are ruled by the almighty dollar. Thats the way the system works, and thats the game we have to play. The problem is, this leads many people to seek making money first, instead of what makes them happy. I have read countless number of stories about stock brokers and doctors for example, leaving their high paying positions to follow what they really love. There is a reason for that. I truly believe that if you follow what you are passionate about without thinking about if it will make you rich or not, you will end up being successful. Doing what you have a passion for brings out your best, and this leads to greatness. Greatness breezes to success. Do you think that the most successful people in the world got to where they are because they wanted to get rich? Absolutely not, they did what they were so passionate about, and their immense

success was just a by product of their dedication. So think about something that you would just love to do, even if you were not getting paid. Think about something that you look forward to do, something that you wish you could do all the time. What do you like to talk about? The topics of conversation we have can definitely tell what we are interested in, and this is a good way to find out what we really enjoy in life. Most of the time, we arent totally aware of this. This is why, a very good way to figure this out properly, is to ask your friends. Ask them what they believe you like to talk about the most. Ask them what topic makes your eyes brighten up, and changes your entire behavior. I can guarantee you that some of their answers will be surprising to you. Some of these things werent that clear to you, but your friends can see the reaction on your face that you cant see yourself. Try it out, its a very insightful exercise, and one that can direct you closer to figuring out your passion. What makes you unafraid of failure? When we do what we are passionate about, we have total confidence in our abilities. This makes us not worry about failing, because in our mind, how can we fail

when we do what we love? Doing what you love is a success in and of itself, so failure is like an impossibility. Think of something that you just do or want to do, no matter what. Something that you do not have second thoughts about. Think about something that you feel you must do and that failure is not even a concern of yours, because the mere act of doing it is like the journey and the destination all wrapped up in one. This may very well be your true passion. What would you regret not having tried? We all have these dreams, and somehow, life pushes us in another direction, and next thing we know, we are far from those dreams we used to have. If you were at the end of your life, what would you regret not having pursued? What would you have liked to do, that you didnt get a chance to? Think about what that might be. Whatever it is that you may experience regret now or later on for not having tried, this is a good chance to be your true passion. There is nothing worse than arriving at the end of the journey and having regret. This is why finding your passion, and following it is so important. Live your life so that you do not have regrets.
