Keep your eyes on the Master, because He knows things we do not know!

Don't let the hurt of today blind you to the hope of tomorrow. Disappointment ushers in a new appointment.

Love isn't what I have the opportunity to get from this world. Love is what I have the opportunity to give.

I know deep hurt. But I also know deep hope. Sometimes God's power is shown as much in preventing things as it is in making them happen. We may never know why. But we can always know and trust the Who.

We must determine to hear God's Words and put them into practice.

Feelings should be indicators, not dictators.

On the other end of the spectrum, we can't use this permission to sometimes say no and use it as a wand to wish away all our responsibilities. We also must remember not to use our "no" answers as a weapon. We can't turn into No! ninjas, karate-chopping anyone who even comes close to asking us for something.
