Be happy with you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.
The thrill of not knowing what’s going to happen, trained me to be prepared for anything.

You can’t buy good health at the doctor’s office–you’ve got to earn it for yourself.

I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best both for the body and the mind.
From Matthew 18:4-5: “Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.”

The cause of disillusionment is putting one’s complete hope and trust in people. What’s the cure? Putting our complete hope and trust in the living Lord.

We the people, elect leaders not to rule but to serve.
Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.
Never miss a good chance to shut up.

The key to courageously facing the future is confidence in the Lord. He’s your shelter, strength, and help in trouble.
From Psalm 46:1-3: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change, though the mountains shake in the heart of the sea; though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble with its tumult.”

The right hand of God is writing in our land,
Writing with power and with love.
Our conflicts and our fears, or triumphs and our tears
Are recorded by the right hand of God.
The right hand of God is pointing in our land,
Pointing the way we must go.
So clouded is the way, so easily we stray,
But we’re guided by the right hand of God.
The right hand of God is striking in our land,
Striking out at envy, hate, and greed.
Our selfishness and lust, our pride and unjust
Are destroyed by the right hand of God.

From U: “Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast.”
Whenever you’re not sure how God thinks about sin or deals with it, go to His Word. He will guide you into truth.
From Titus 3:3-5: “For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, despicable, hating one another. But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to His mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.”
