How does God deal with your bitter heart? He reminds you that what you have is more important than what you don't have. You still have your relationship with God. No one can take that.

God wants the world to see what God can do with his purchased possessions. So he prunes you.

There's an antidote to our fears- trust. If we trust God more,we can fear less.

No one can do everything, but everyone can do something

There is a rawness and a wonder to life. Pursue it. Hunt for it. Sell out to get it. Don't listen to the whines of those who have settled for a second-rate life and want you to do the same so they won't feel guilty. Your goal is not to live long; it's to live.
