You Won’t Fail

Shaun Bradford

This post was inspired by my previous post. It’s actually the closing statement. To recap, I was unmotivated to write this morning. Didn’t even want to share a Facebook memory. Then, after writing in my journal for a while, I was reminded of the Facebook memory I didn’t want to share—to keep showing up. Well, I did just that. I showed up and shared the memory. I just love how God loves me.

Know this, God will not allow you to fail. Even when you don’t care if you fail, He won’t allow it. He’s called you to fulfill a purpose that only you can fulfill, and you best believe He will make sure you fulfill it. Now, don’t get me wrong, He will not force you to do anything, but He will give you the means (even the motivation) to do it.♥️ ~Shaun

God will turn your smallest of efforts into a masterpiece. You will not fail.

THE Source

Shaun Bradford

While we are so focused on what this or that leader will or will not do, God is trying to get our attention. Y’all, He’s our Source, not them. We must stay focused on Him. Whatever comes or goes, it’s God’s presence, love, peace, and provisions that will sustain us. He is the ultimate provider and miracle worker.♥️ ~ Shaun

Remember, God is love. Complete love. Not selective or conditional love.

Old Habits | New Spaces

Shaun Bradford

I was reading a journal entry from July 2017 where I had written, “Old habits do not belong in new spaces.” I was preparing for something new, and I heard God say I needed to change a few habits before I could move forward. Well, I did just that. I changed what I was doing at the time and God did the rest.

Be careful not to take old habits into new spaces. They don’t belong where God’s taking you. Love you!♥️ ~ Shaun

Move, so He can move.

Perceptions…

Facebook Memory: July 14, 2022

Perceptions can be very deceptive and lead to unwarranted mistrust. We must be mindful not to confuse what we perceive to be true with the actual truth.

Trust God.

This was written two years ago and is so relevant today. Perceptions can be deceptive.

Praying you have a blessed day.♥️

Love you,

Shaun

Keep Hope Alive, Part 2

Shaun Bradford

When I scheduled my first post to be shared, I didn’t share any of the other captions I wrote last year. I usually share the same message on multiple pages with a similar or different message. Little did I know I would actually need one of the other messages this morning.

This morning, I received a text that left me in tears, and also with a long overdue matter I should have addressed a long time ago. It was something I had been hesitant to acknowledge or address for fear of an unfavorable outcome. A million scenarios have played over and over in my mind. But this reminder has given me the strength and courage needed to do what I need to do. Here’s the caption I shared last year—

Life is good, and my God is SO AMAZING! No matter how grim things may appear, or how discouraged you may become, know that God is still on the throne and is working behind the scenes. You will SMILE again. You will LAUGH again. You will LOVE again. You will LIVE a long prosperous (in ALL areas of life) life. Stay connected to God. I promise you, He will not fail you.♥️

♥️

God is still on the throne and I know He has my back and I am covered. I got this!

Praying you have a fabulous day! Also, no matter how crazy things may seem at the moment, know that this isn’t the end. You will smile, laugh, love, and live again. He’s got you. Just make sure you don’t keep putting off things that you need to deal with. It will not only free you but it could potentially free others. Love you!♥️

Good things DO happen.

Dreams DO come true.

It is possible to love and be loved unconditionally.

Treasures Along Your Journey

Shaun Bradford

Be careful not to miss the treasures along your journey because you are so focused on where you desire to be. Take time to breathe and take them all in. The treasures you value today are preparing you for tomorrow’s blessings.

Facebook Memory: July 12, 2022

It WILL happen when it happens. Listen, enjoy the journey while you wait. Believe me, there are so many treasures attached to your journey. You will miss them if you’re not careful.♥️

Enjoy the journey!

Love you,

Get Started

Shaun Bradford

It’s funny that this message was under today’s Facebook memories because I am starting late today. Honestly, I fell asleep before I scheduled today’s first post, and when I woke up, I didn’t feel like writing. Didn’t even feel like sharing last year’s memory. Nothing’s wrong, just tired. I need a vacation. A real vacation. A vacation where I won’t need a vacation from after my vacation. Lol

Anyhoo, here’s today’s Facebook memory.

Facebook Memory: July 11, 2019

Can’t believe it’s Thursday already! Yay!! Here’s today’s social media find. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is get started. You’ll be amazed by what happens when you just make the effort to begin. Believe me, you don’t have to have every detail figured out. Starting can be as simple as picking up a pen, getting out of bed, taking that first step, etc. WHATEVER you do, don’t remain stagnant. The worse feeling in the world is to look up 10 years from now and see you’re still in the same place, contemplating starting. Get started, TODAY!

Fun fact—Before I started blogging daily, I shared “social media finds.” I guess you could say they were the stepping stones that led to Shaun’s Daily Inspiration, which is a true testament that all you have to do is get started. Can’t wait to see where it leads me next!

Even if you can only muster up enough motivation to make one step forward, make that one step. God will do the rest. Have a wonderfully blessed day!♥️

Love you,

Shaun
