Don't depend on other people as the source of your happiness or for approval.

Love is and has always been His idea. He came to love us and to teach us how to love. When we do this, life is exciting, beautiful and rewarding.

Our feelings are real and they are powerful, but they are not more powerful than God and truth.

We almost always see only what's wrong with other people and not what's wrong with us.

Having everything your way is highly overrated.

Do yourself a favor and forgive anyone that has anything against you. Do it as an act of faith and trust God to change and heal your emotions. Pray for your enemies and never say another unkind thing about them. It is the only way you can move past the pain and begin to heal.

If you can help a child, you don't have to spend years repairing an adult.
