Resentment always hurts you more than it does the person you resent. While your offender has probably forgotten the offense and gone on with life, you continue to stew in your pain, perpetuating the past. Listen: those who hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment. Your past is past! Nothing will change it. You are only hurting yourself with your bitterness. For your own sake, learn from it, and then let it go.

God hates loneliness, and community is God's answer to loneliness. When we walk alongside other people, we find a community where we learn how to love.

What happens outwardly in your life is not as important as what happens inside you. Your circumstances are temporary, but your character will last forever.

Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.

Pretentiousness repels but authenticity attracts, and vulnerability is the pathway to intimacy.

If there was more courting in marriage, there'd be fewer marriages in court. Date your mate. Today.

Your spiritual family is even more important than your physical family because it will last forever. Our families on earth are wonderful gifts from God, but they are temporary and fragile, often broken by divorce, distance, growing old, and inevitably, death.
