The first place we lose the battle is in our own thinking. If you think it is permanent then it's permanent. If you think you've reached your limits then you have. If you think you will never get well then you won't. You have to change your thinking. You need to see everything that's holding you back, every obstacle, every limitation as only temporary.

We need to show mercy. I mean, because as much mercy as you show people, that's the mercy you're going to be receiving.

My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

You have to learn to follow your heart. You can’t let other people pressure you into being something that you’re not. If you want God’s favor in your life, you must be the person He made you to be, not the person your boss wants you to be, not even the person your parents or your husband wants you to be. You can’t let outside expectations keep you from following your own heart.

Don't spend all your time trying to win over your critics. Just run your own race.

Indeed, it is as important to learn how to receive a blessing as it is to be willing to give one.

You don't know what's on the inside until you put a demand on your potential.
