I want to learn how to be more thankful for what I am, than guilty for what I'm not.

Even Jesus, the Savior of the world, had to take time each day to ask for his portion.

God can take what Satan meant for shame and use it for His glory. Just when we think we've messed up so badly that our lives are nothing but heaps of ashes, God pours His living water over us and mixes the ashes into clay. He then takes this clay and molds it into a vessel of beauty. After He fills us with His overflowing love, He can use us to pour His love into the hurting lives of others.

My imperfections will never override God’s promises. God’s promises are not dependent on my ability to always choose well, but rather on His ability to use well.

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.

We can't always fix our circumstances, but we can fix our minds on God

Remember, the Devil loves to make us focus on the little that's wrong so we miss the big picture of all that's right.
