But for the grace of God, that could be me.

You shouldn't be constantly uptight, worried, rebuking, resisting, and trying to fix things. It takes a mature person to say, "Everything is not perfect. I have some struggles and some situations I wish were different, but can I tell you that all is well? I'm at peace. I'm not upset. I know at the right time God will remove the weeds. Until then I'm going to relax and enjoy my life." First the Weed, Then the Harvest

He will always give you the grace, the strength, and the faith for what comes your way.

The odds may be against you, but the Most High God is for you. His favor on your life will cause you to go where you could not go on your own. If you're going to be a barrier breaker, you have to get rid of excuses. If you're going to be a barrier breaker, you have to get rid of excuses.

I can do all things through Christ. I am strong in the Lord.

In our weakness, God's strength shows up the greatest. Take the pressure off. There's freedom when you can be at peace with not being perfect.

God accepts and approves you right where you are: faults, mistakes, shortcomings, and all. He knows you're on a journey. He's changing you little by little. He accepts you. Now, you have to accept yourself.

Whatever you face, remind yourself that you can handle it. You've been designed for it.

Those scars don't have to stop you. The scars are simply your story. The scars can be your testimony. You don't have to hide them. Everyone has scars.

Victory is not the absence of problems, it is the presence of power.

It is not God's will that you limp along in life believing that you are inadequate.

We are not the healers, we are not the reconcilers, we are not the givers of life. We are sinful, broken, vulnerable people who need as much care as anyone we care for.
