Listen, the character of God is full of mercy—not giving us what we do deserve—and grace—giving us what we don't deserve. You say you don't deserve God's help, but by your very words, you prove He isn't trying to destroy your dreams. Ask God for help.

He's a God who loves us more than we can imagine and desires to fulfill the dreams He gives His children.

When you forgive someone, it gives you room in your heart to love them.
