It is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we've made and sins. God wants us to do that because He knows the guilt and the condemnation will keep us from becoming who He has created us to be. Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift. I think one of the most important things is starting off the day forgiving others and forgiving yourself. You learn from your mistakes, but I don't think you have to drag them back into today.

No matter how dark and gloomy it looks in your life right now, if you'll release the weight of those burdens, you will see the sun break forth.

Bad habits are easy to develop but difficult to live with. Good habits are difficult to develop, but easy to live with. If you are willing to be uncomfortable for little while, so you can press past the initial pain of change, in the long run, your life will be much better.

I'm blessed to be a blessing to someone else.

That's my thing - keep filled with faith. Keep doing what you can do and I believe God will do what you can't do.

A lot of churches have not moved with the times.

I don't think it's that hard [to lead a Christian life]. To me it's fun. We have joy and happiness.
