Every season, for me, it's like starting from scratch again.

Be pleasant until ten o'clock in the morning and the rest of the day will take care of itself.

No matter what mistakes you have made - no matter how you've messed things up - you can still make a new beginning. The person who fully realises this suffers less from the shock and pain of failure and sooner gets off to a new beginning.

Today.....I begin a new life.

I want every day to be a fresh start on expanding what is possible.

People complain about the bad things that happen to em that they don't deserve but they seldom mention the good. About what they done to deserve them things. I don't recall that I ever give the good Lord all that much cause to smile on me. But he did.

Whether or not I wake up . . . I'll have a new heart.

When it comes to walking into one's future, and if anything can rob you of now, it's yesterday. We are really good at taking the pain of our past and projecting it into our future because it's what we know, and yet our past has almost nothing to do with our future other than being connected by seconds. That's it. So we face a choice. Either shine a light on yesterday and expose it, or forfeit the joy of now and the hope of tomorrow.

You know how sometimes you walk outside, like out of a cold room, and the sun is coming up and it feels warm on your face? And all you want to do is stand there and soak it up? Well, that's kind of how I feel. I want to stand here and soak in this a while.

No gone is too far gone.

Why is it that we look upon our salvation as a moment that began our religious life instead of the daily life we receive from God?
