Forgiveness is mandatory; reconciliation is optional.

The more we read God’s truths and let truth fill our minds, the less time we’ll spend contemplating untruths.

We have to slow the rhythm of rush in our lives so that the best of who are can emerge.

Satan has no power over us except what we allow. Moment by moment, decision by decision, step by step - will we operate in God's all powerful Truth or allow Satan to entangle us in his lies?

Not reaching back for what was lost in my yesterdays. And not reaching for what I hope will be in my tomorrow. But living fully with what is right in front of me. And truly seeing the gift of this moment.

Feelings are indicators, not dictators. They can indicate where your heart is in the moment, but that doesn't mean they have the right to dictate your behavior and boss you around. You are more than the sum total of your feelings and perfectly capable of that little gift . . . called self-control.

Trying to fix another person will only add to my anxiety. Letting Jesus work on me is where real progress can happen.
