I believe, when in my behavior or in relationships or in the way I react to something, that I'm still dealing with some leftover stuff from my childhood, but the good thing is now, because I have learned so much from the Bible, I can tell when I'm behaving wrong and when I'm not, and it doesn't take me very long to realize that's out of fear, or that's because I was controlled as a child, and I can make a conscious decision to behave the way I know I should behave.

If we continue to believe God and place our trust in Him, bad things ultimately give way to better things.

Having everything your way is highly overrated.

After years of abuse, it was difficult for me to understand God's love. It took me years to truly understand it.

You can be pitiful, or you can be powerful, but you can't be both

Stop comparing yourself to other people; you are an original. We are all different and it's okay.

If we are ever going to develop an ability to hear from God and be led by His Spirit, we have to start making our own decisions and trust the wisdom God has deposited in our own heart.
