We cannot stand through the storms of life based on someone else's faith. We must be fully assured in our own hearts and minds.

Forgiveness is not a feeling - it's a decision we make because we want to do what's right before God.

Compliment people. Magnify their strengths, not their weaknesses.

People are born to be free; it's a gift from God.

If you are facing a new challenge or being asked to do something that you have never done before don’t be afraid to step out. You have more capability than you think you do but you will never see it unless you place a demand on yourself for more.

God does not always call us to go back physically to a place we have been. But if for example we have a difficult time submitting to a boss with a certain personality God may call us to continue working with someone who has the same personality until we master the situation in a godly way. God does not want us to be on the run He wants us to confront our fears and frustrations in order to find peace in Him.

Make sure you are doing what is important to God-not just what is important to everyone else you know.
