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.

I’m living now in my reward.

God cares about everything that concerns you, so feel free to talk to Him about anything.

A demonstration of sincere concern can be a strong building block of love.

When an injustice happens, we want to be vindicated. People feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong. If we're honest, we'll admit that we usually want the person who hurt us to pay for what they did. We can't get past this until we get the revelation that only God can pay us back. He is our Vindicator - He will heal and restore us if we will trust Him and forgive our enemies as He has told us to do.

When discipline is sown, like a good seed, it yields a harvest of things that fulfill and satisfy us-things that make us happy and release peace and joy in our lives.

Even if you think the grass is greener on the other side, you’re going to have to mow that side too.
