We suffer much agony because we try to get from people what only God can give us, which is a sense of worth and value. Look to God for what you need, not to people.

If we didn't struggle through some things, we would never develop the strength and stamina we need to survive in this world.

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.

Stop focusing on what's wrong with everyone else and start focusing on how blessed you are.

God has gifted me in communication. He has given me a gift to be very open about myself, which seems to really help a lot of people. It's not even anything I do on purpose. It's just something I don't have a problem with. I don't care what you know about me if it will help you.

The Holy Spirit showed me that when I put up walls to keep others out I also wall myself into solitary place of confinement.

You can not live your life just based on what everyone else thinks.
