frustration, complication and misery are available in abundance, but so is God's grace.

When an injustice happens, we want to be vindicated. People feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong. If we're honest, we'll admit that we usually want the person who hurt us to pay for what they did. We can't get past this until we get the revelation that only God can pay us back. He is our Vindicator - He will heal and restore us if we will trust Him and forgive our enemies as He has told us to do.

What does God require of us? Our part is to believe. Our work is to trust the Lord. His requirement is that we let go and let God.

God is working on your problem. Stay calm. Stay sweet. Stay out of fear and keep on keeping on.

Don't ever be discouraged with yourself because you have not arrived at success, but instead be pleased that you are pressing toward it.

When I was a teenager, I didn't get to do a lot of the things that other kids my age were doing because my dad was very controlling and he wouldn't allow me to go to school activities, like games and dances. So I didn't have positive expectations for my future or really dream about what I could do with my life. I was just trying to survive until I could get out on my own.

An affirmation to say everyday: The healing power of God is working in me right now. Eveyr day I get better and better in every way.
