Make sure you are doing what is important to God-not just what is important to everyone else you know.

I learned that what happened to me did not have to define who I was. My past could not control my future unless I allowed it to.

If you will tend to God’s business, He will tend to yours.

Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Contentment does not mean that we never want to see change or improvement, but it does mean we can be happy where we are and will do the best we can with what we have. It also means we will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life.

Just because you go to church doesn't mean you're a Christian. I can go sit in the garage all day and it doesn't make me a car

I'm never a failure, unless I quit trying, and neither are you.

Just deciding to forgive isn't enough because willpower alone won't work - we need divine strength from God. As He gives us the strength, we need to pray for our enemies and bless them. Praying for those who have hurt us is vital to successfully forgiving them.
