Discipline enables you to think first and act second.

Refuse to let your love grow cold. Stir up love in your life - towards your spouse and towards your family, friends, neighbours, co-workers. Reach out to others who are hurting and in need. Pray for people and bless them. Grow to the point that one of your first thoughts each morning in your heart is about how you can bless someone else that day.

The first step to forgiveness is the desire to do it, no matter how you feel toward the person who hurt you. Then you make the decision to do it which means it's a firm decision that won't change when your feelings change. The next step is to depend on the Holy Spirit to help you do what you've decided to do.

You can't have real love without operating in forgiveness. Love keeps giving the other person another chance.

If we know God is for us, then it shouldn't matter how we feel, or what other people think of us.

What does God require of us? Our part is to believe. Our work is to trust the Lord. His requirement is that we let go and let God.

God has uniquely gifted you to help someone. Be available as God opens doors for you to do so.
