Everything God does is purposeful. And since God is in each of us, each of us has a purpose.

Challenges come so we can grow and be prepared for things we are not equipped to handle now.

Anger simply means that your personal power - your personal space, your personal sense of being - has been violated

The beloved is one who nurtures you, trusts you, supports you, encourages you, loves you without conditions. That's you.

Life gives you an endless supply of do-overs.

You must be ready in mind, body, and spirit before you can make a change. People cannot convince you to do it. You cannot force you to do it. Everything you think, say, and do until that happens is just preparation. So love yourself right now. Honor yourself. Keep talking to yourself. Keep thinking ready thoughts. In the meantime, try to remember you will not be ready until you are ready.

Learning to trust yourself and what you know takes time and work. You cannot expect to eradicate a lifetime of misguided information overnight. You must make a continuous, conscious effort to get on good terms with you.
