When life feels like a yoyo, no matter the ups or the downs know that you'll always end up in the hands of Almighty God.

You know what, my faith is like this - when I die, I'm going to live with God forever and ever. But I believe He wants us to have a good life here on Earth.

Well, I - you know, the scripture says that God works by faith. And you have to have faith. You have to have trust in God so that God can work.

The thing is that oftentimes, we want to be everything all at once. We want to be strong and mature, and God wants that for us, too. But just like that flowerpot had to sit in the sun and receive water day after day, we have to sit in God's presence every day, too.

Forgiveness sets the prisoner free. And realizing that prisoner was you. That's what forgiveness does. It sets you free.

It's good to find common ground with people. When you find common ground and you see things from other people's perspective, you can have a voice in their lives, you can have an influence.

The pressure you are facing is not going to break you. It's going to make you.
