God will use your mess for good. We see a perfect mess; God sees a perfect chance to train, test , and teach.

We serve a good God who oversees the affairs of mankind.

God's blessings are dispensed according to the riches of his grace, not according to the depth of our faith.

God knows just the place where you'll be placed. He has a barren living room in desperate need of warmth and joy. A corner of the world needs some color. He selected you with that place in mind.

If today were your last, would you do what you're doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more?

The worst part of all is that, without forgiveness, bitterness is all that is left

The Lord is near! You're not alone. You may feel alone. You may think you're alone. But there's never a moment in which you face life without help. God is near. God repeatedly pledges his proverbial presence to his people. Don't assume God is watching from a distance. Avoid the quicksand that bears the marker "God has left you!" Don't indulge this lie. If you do, your problem will be amplified by a sense of loneliness. It's one thing to face a challenge, but to face it all alone? Isolation creates a downward cycle of fret.
