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.

We all need God's power in our lives, and prayer is the dynamic that releases His power, sometimes in dramatic ways.

Character isn't developed when we get what we want. Character is developed when we don't get what we want.

Remember God is not surprised by your inabilities, your imperfections, or your faults. He has always known everything about you that you are just now finding out, and he chose you on purpose for himself.

Faith is having a positive attitude about what you can do and not worrying at all about what you can't do.

If you will make time with God your first priority, everything else in your life will fall into place.
