“Rest now, dear heart, let joy find you unexpected places.”

Where you are now, is not where you will always be.

Things that don’t work out often pave the way for things that will.

We only stop growing when we resist change.

The more love we give, the more healing we receive.

Take perfection, give me peace.

Rejection is a reminder to go where you are valued.

I can exist where there is chaos and not be swept away from it.

If a dream has been planted in your heart, nobody can keep you from the harvest.

Things do not have to be shiny and loud, to be important.

Gratitude, fill me up and overwhelm me with peace.

Like every song, life is a sequence of notes. A symphony of highs and lows.

Maybe strength is less about carrying the load and more about letting go.

We all start off afraid.

Give yourself time to rest + heal + then rise.

Do not settle in the dirt. Get up and make something from it.

Kind people aren’t doormats.

Expectations are resentments under construction.

Whatever we refuse to recognize about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.

These are the days when the Christian is expected to praise every creed except his own.

The world is a mirror and reflects back your expectations. What you get is what you see.

You can’t just say that you’re committed to creating the best year of your life and expect it to stick. You have to make a conscious effort to allow this commitment to become part of your internal belief system.

If you see your brother in need, it doesn’t matter if you already gave somewhere else. You should be open to the idea of God using you to meet your brother’s unexpected need.

Never complain. Never explain.

Let it never surprise true Christians if they are slandered and misrepresented in this world. They must not expect to fare better than their Lord.
