Meekness is power under control.

The past can be a rudder that guides you or an anchor tha hinders you. Leave your mistakes with God and look to the future by faith.

If you are going to live by faith, then expect your faith to be tested. A faith that can't be tested can't be trusted.

Life's trials are not easy. But in God's will, each has a purpose. Often He uses them to enlarge you.

If you take care of yourself and walk with integrity, you may be confident that God will deal with those who sin against you. Above all, don't give birth to sin yourself, rather, pray for those who persecute you. God will one day turn your persecution into praise.

You do not move ahead by constantly looking in a rear view mirror. The past is a rudder to guide you, not an anchor to drag you. We must learn from the past but not live in the past.

God doesn't bless us just to make us happy; He blesses us to make us a blessing.
