You are not defined by your past. You are prepared by your past.

When things gets difficult, and it seems like the intensity has been turned up, that’s a sign you are close to your victory.

If we're going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.

Instead of focusing on how big your problems are, focus on how big your God is! He is everything you need. He is the Great I AM, and He is the one leading and guiding you into victory in every area of your life!

That's what I feel like I'm called to do - to plant a seed of hope in people's hearts.

When you are tempted to get discouraged, remind yourself that according to God’s word, your future is getting brighter; you are on your way to a new level of glory. You may think you’ve got a long way to go, but you need to look back at how far you’ve already come. You may not be everything you want to be but atleast you can thank God that you’re not what you used to be.

I just think that only God will judge a person's heart.
