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. Many get started and quit get started and quit get started and quit. They do not continue because their broken heart overwhelms their hope. They do not have any inner strength to carry them through to the end. Jesus will bind up your wounds and heal your bruises. His Word is the medicine for your soul.

Treat everyone you meet as if they have infinite value because in God’s eyes they do

You can become so manipulated and controlled by what you think other people expect you to do that you literally live under the tyranny of other people's expectations. And what I call the shoulds and the oughts. I believe that hundreds of thousands of people miss their God-ordained destiny and they never really feel satisfied, content and fulfilled, because they're so busy trying to keep everybody else satisfied with them that they don't ever get around to doing what they really want to do.

Don't give up on the people you love. Your patient love and faithfulness may be exactly what they need to make a complete turnaround.

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

I imagine that it saddens the heart of God when we murmur and complain, instead of being thankful after He's been so good to us.

If you're not at peace with yourself, you can't be at peace with anyone else.
