Don't do what's right to get something. Do the right thing because it's the right thing.

I can't do anything about my past, but I can do a lot to cooperate with my destiny. I am re-created in Christ Jesus, born anew, that I might do the good works that he laid out for me and live the good life.

If you can't control what you think, you will not be able to control what you do.

Grace keeps us from worrying because worry deals with the past, while grace deals with the present and future.

I need to keep pressing on until I am thoroughly thankful.

Fear will try to keep you from taking that first step. Don't give in to fear, do it afraid.

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.
