The absence of pain means death, so when something no longer bothers you, you've died to that thing.

When you need to make a decision, don't let your emotions vote.

Do you look forward to going to church, or is it something you do out of obligation?

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

A relationship with Christ changes your heart. It's not about your head. It changes your heart. Jesus comes to live in your heart, and even if a person does good works, but they do them without Christ, most of the time, their motives are wrong for why they do them.

God plants dreams in people's hearts. But many people do not continue all the way to the end in order to follow Him to the fulfillment of that dream.

Do yourself a favor and forgive anyone that has anything against you. Do it as an act of faith and trust God to change and heal your emotions. Pray for your enemies and never say another unkind thing about them. It is the only way you can move past the pain and begin to heal.
