A lot of times, people feel that if they forgive the person who hurt them, then they will continue to take advantage of them or not take responsibility for what they did wrong.
I know from personal experience how damaging it can be to live with bitterness and unforgiveness. I like to say it’s like taking poison and hoping your enemy will die. And it really is that harmful to us to live this way.
Be patient with yourself even when you make mistakes.
God plants dreams in people’s hearts. But many people do not continue all the way to the end in order to follow Him to the fulfillment of that dream.
Forgiveness is a CHOICE, not a feeling.
A demonstration of sincere concern can be a strong building block of love.
I spent most of the early years of my walk with God focused on what was wrong with me. Most of us probably do that, hoping to change ourselves.
I consider wisdom supernatural because it isn’t taught by men – it’s a gift from God.
God’s first line of defense – and offense – for every situation is prayer.
We may feel fear but we do not have to give in to it. We can do whatever we need and want to do, even if we have to “do it afraid.” Courage is not the absence of fear; it is action in the presence of fear.
God is a great God! I want to encourage you to expect great things from Him.
If you can’t learn to enjoy your life when you have problems, you may never enjoy it because we’ll always have problems.
Don’t live like there’s no tomorrow because tomorrow always comes.
Any time we are misused or used for a purpose other than what God intended us for, it’s damaging.
I wonder how many times people give up just before a breakthrough – when they are on the very brink of success.
When you forgive, you’re not doing God a favor, you are giving yourself the gift of freedom.
Listening is an important key to HEARING.
Grace is not the freedom to sin; it is the power to live a holy life.
Whatever is making you so angry, it’s time for you to give it to God and get over it.
The truth is, anyone can start projects. The world is full of just-started projects that looked great at the time but were never completed.
