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.

I serve a higher power, Jesus Christ. I make no apologies in saying that.

I wish that those who believe in the doctrines of grace would be more gracious. That's all I'd say... I'm an evangelical. I believe the doctrines of grace.

God owes me nothing. He doesn't have to work for anything good in my life. That is only for those who are called according to His purpose.

I believe what Irenaeus said - the glory of God is a human being fully alive.

God accepts us unconditionally, and in his view we are all precious and priceless. Focus on this and you will not waste any time and effort trying to be someone you're not.

You were created to add to life on earth, not just take from it. God wants you to give something back.
