We try so hard to hold onto our stuff. We call it our treasure and expect to feel joy. But in God’s economy if we want to gain, we must give up. For joy won’t ever be found in collecting treasures. Joy radiates in our life only when we share our treasures.

Just because we feel offended doesn't mean we must be offended. Feelings are indicators not dictators.

Sometimes we need the salt of tears to remind us how to savor the sweetness of life.

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

My attitude of love must not be sacrificed on the altar of activity.

Dear Lord, forgive me for all of the times I've compared myself to others. I know that You have hand-picked all of my qualities. Help me to see these things as beautiful reminders of Your great love in creating me as Your daughter. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

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