Thank you for all your birthday wishes… I'm so happy to hear about the positive difference that I'm making in your life. I'm indeed blessed to be a blessing to you!
Today I want to inspire you to be a blessing to others too by sharing with you my personal testimonial of God's love and grace.
Many people look at me now and they think that my life has always been smooth sailing or that I'm one of the “lucky” ones who was able to go from rags to riches in a relatively short time. That can't be further from the truth!
I've made so many bad mistakes in my life and I have fallen down hard so many times…
In fact, I experienced one of the lowest points of my life 3.5 years ago when I lost six figures in the US debt ceiling crisis and got myself into $25,000 of debt.
Devastated and quietly slipping into depression, I went on facebook to look for something to inspire myself, to help me get back up on my feet but I soon realized that much of my newsfeed was cluttered with tons of negativity…
Many people were just using it to rant and complain and I just felt myself sinking deeper and deeper into an awful disempowered state. So I said to myself, “This will NOT do… I'm an entrepreneur… I'm going to turn this around!”
That was when I started the 101 Powerful Affirmations facebook community with the intention to flood facebook with positivity.
My mission was (and continues to be) to bring more love, hope and joy to the world because after losing all that money, I realized that money had no more power over me. I started to ask myself what do people really want and I came to the conclusion that ultimately, everyone is just looking for more love, hope and joy in their lives.
So I worked on the facebook community tirelessly with the sole intention to do just that and make a positive difference to as many people as I can… I wasn't even thinking about how I was going to make all that money I lost back…
But God is so Good…
Zechariah 8:13 – “I will save you that you may become a blessing”
While I was focused on following His plans for me, He was working silently in the background to prosper me abundantly so as to allow me the means to be able to execute them without any worries.
Before I knew it, within just 1 year, He restored everything I lost and has been continuing to prosper me since.
I can safely tell you that I owe all the success I'm enjoying to His amazing love and grace.
Who else could turn a seemingly hopeless situation into an awesome testimonial of His Grace?
Today this email newsletter you're reading goes out to bless over 125,000 people from all over the world.
Can you imagine the number of people who write back to me to tell me “God bless you” every day? It's no wonder I'm so blessed!
Beloved, I just want to encourage you to bless someone today.
Matthew 5:16 – “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
You don't know what just a simple smile or a kind word can make to a stranger who might be struggling with the valleys of life.
I truly believe that God blesses us to be a blessing to others. Do not for any one moment belittle yourself and think that you have nothing to give to the world.
If I thought in that self-defeating manner 3.5 years ago, when I was $25,000 in debt, you wouldn't be receiving this email now!
Our God is a God that can prosper our mistakes and turn them into blessings to ourselves and others.
Trust in Him with all your heart (Proverbs 3:5) and watch how He blesses you abundantly and exceedingly above all that you ask for! (No matter how dire you think your situation is right now)
And as He does that, wouldn't you feel like spreading some of His overflowing blessings to someone else to brighten their day?
Type AMEN in the comments below if you've been blessed…
Now go bless someone else =)
To Your Success,
