Don't mourn over your bad decisions. Just start overcoming them with good ones.

Perhaps we could enjoy ordinary, everyday life more if we learned to celebrate the ordinary.

I don't really have many hobbies but one of my favorite things to do is spend time with my family. We have fun together, and building those relationships is very important to me.

When you forgive, you're not doing God a favor, you are giving yourself the gift of freedom.

I always asked for forgiveness for my sins right away but I never accepted it until I felt right that I had suffered enough to pay for it. God revealed to me what I was doing how much unnecessary pain I was causing myself. He even showed me that what I was doing was an insult to Jesus that in essence I was saying Lord the sacrifice of Your life and blood was good but not good enough. I must add my work of feeling guilty before I can be forgiven.

Everytime you feed the flesh, you strenghten it. This is good if you are trying to build a good habit, but detrimental if you are trying to stop a bad habit. The way to "kill the flesh" is to starve it; to stop feeding it.

If we didn't have to stand against temptation, we'd never know our own spiritual strength.
