My dreams had to be His dreams, the ones He placed in my heart. They couldn't be the ones I thought I should have, or needed for the purpose of making other people like me.

You know how it feels when you're in love with somebody and you long to be with that person? God wants us to feel that way about Him.

I know several couples who experienced adultery in their marriages, but because in each case there was a wife who was willing to pray and a husband open to allowing God to change and restore him, the marriages are still intact and successful today. Only prayer, a submitted heart, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit can work those kinds of miracles.

One of God's main purposes for your life is to fill you with so much of His love that it overflows onto others.

Know that once we have received Jesus, we can't continue to live our old sinful lifestyle. Now that we have His Holy Spirit living in us, guiding us, and transforming us, we have no excuse.

Integrity is not what you APPEAR to be when all eyes are on you. It is who you ARE when no one is looking.
