You can't be pitiful AND powerful.
God wants you to be delivered from what you have done and from what has been done to you - Both are equally imporant to Him.
God can't drive a parked car.
Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die.
God works according to the law of gradual growth, so don't be discouraged if your progress seems slow.
It is not as important how we start (our past), but how we finish.
