“Do not give the devil a chance to work on you.”

Death will render all your possessions useless.

It is okay to not be in control.

Helpless does not equal worthless.

Other people need to be seen too. So be kind.

It is important allow to feel what I feel, but not to let it dictate my day or week or life.

Even though negativity begs for my attention, I will still choose to focus on the joy in my life.

Allow yourself to fill with grace, for you have come so far.

Look to the future with hope, not envy.

You can complain about what you can’t change or you can focus on what you can change.

I know that god put me on this earth for a reason. The reason may not be fully known to me yet but I know I will fulfill that reason because I have him.

I desire your design for me, lord. Make of me what you will.

Struggle does not mean it is the end.

Let him transform everything you are, so you can become everything you are meant to be.

You have come this far. What makes you think that will change in the future?

Let joy make a home in you.

God will always hold you together when the world tries to tear you apart.

Dying without actually fully living, without waking up to our lives while we have the chance, is an ongoing and significant risk.

O, with what freshness, what solemnity and beauty, is each new day born; as if to say to insensate man, “Behold! thou hast one more chance! Strive for immortal glory!

The veneration, wherewith Men are imbued for what they call Nature, has been a discouraging impediment to the Empire of Man over the inferior Creatures of God. For many have not only look’d upon it, as an impossible thing to compass, but as something impious to attempt.

Everybody counts, everybody deserves a chance, everybody has a responsible role to play and we all do better when we work together.

Do not leave your reputation to chance or gossip; it is your life’s artwork, and you must craft it, hone it, and display it with the care of an artist.

God gave me life to continue to do things that I would never have done.

I hope you give yourself a try today.

There is always a chance to get even and I’m proud of the fact that for all the blows I always got back up again. That’s what makes me most content.
