Those who constantly try to impress others will quickly depress themselves.

Everything I do and say tells a story of who I am serving. If I am acting out of anger and spite, I am serving the father of darkness and spreading his darkness. If I am honoring to the Lord with my actions, I am serving to further the name of Jesus and spreading His light.

God loves to take people from broken backgrounds and surprise them with possibilities.

I was made for more than being stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat. I am not made to be a victim of my poor choices. I was made to be a victorious child of God.

Outside our comfort zone, though, is where we experience the true awesomeness of God.

Not making a decision is actually a decision. It's the decision to stay the same.

Raw emotions - anger, frustration, bitterness, resentment - are the feelings we tend to hide from people we want to impress but spew on those we love the most.
