You have to forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. Don't let the hurts, the bad breaks, the times you were taken advantage of sour the rest of your life, cause you to live with a chip on your shoulder. God knows how to vindicate you. He knows how to pay you back.

If you will keep the right attitude, God will take all your disappointments, broken dreams, the hurts and pains, and He'll add up all the trouble and sorrow that's been inflicted on you, and He will pay you back with twice as much peace, joy, happiness, and success.

Are you going to let the circumstances, what people say, what hasn't worked out, convince you to settle where you are & give up on what you're believing for? Get your passion back. God didn't create you to live constantly struggling. That's not your destiny; that's temporary.

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.

The thought of the future life with its prerogatives and joys helps to make the trials of the present seem light and transient.

In the midst of death life persists, in the midst of untruth, truth persists, in the midst of darkness light persists.

If our souls be immortal, this makes amends for the frailties of life and the sufferings of this state.

I believe God's keeping the records and I believe you will be rewarded even in this life; somehow, some way God will make it up to you.

Life is only a dream: soon, we shall awaken. And what joy! The greater our sufferings, the more limitless our glory. Oh! do not let us waste the trial Jesus sends.

We don't live in the Garden. We live far from Eden. Every life is full of heartaches. Every life, frankly, is unspeakably sad.

Trouble comes to us all in this life: we set our hearts on things which it isn't God's will for us to have, and then we go sorrowing.

What's lost is nothing to what's found, and all the death that ever was, set next to life, would scarcely fill a cup.
