Worrying about things that haven__ happened yet is like riding on the hood of your car__hat__ the point?

When people judge they completely lose sight of the blessings on their own tables. Jealousy or conviction is a very dark room.

Sometimes God takes people out of our lives for a period of time. Sometimes we need to adjust, appreciate, and reach an understanding of just how important they were to us. And sometimes it__ right at that moment when God brings them back in our heart.

People spend way too much time with hatred, jealousy, and drama when kindness is so easy. Grab a hold of the good things in life; they__l take you to places you__e never been.

Attention serves a person better when he or she works for it and then lets it come.

There__ calm in the mind of the humble. An unmistakable peace of not having to prove anything to anyone.

Our self-worth is not who we know or what we know. Our self-worth is in what we do.

People are never going to act exactly like we want them to. So if we stop expecting things from others, we__l find peace in our hearts that will last a lifetime.

If we think about each other__ feelings, then we__e never alone.

It's always the people who strive to find, and tell you about one of your imperfections, that want to feel one step above you. The truth is their ten steps below you with nothing better to say.

As we get better at knowing God__ love, we grow into better things that surround our lives.

Being a good parent requires being an outstanding sales person. Direct communication and motivating our children, or young adults with our ideals isn't easy. It's a lifetime job and job of a lifetime.

Dear God, I__ afraid of the things that I don__ understand. I__ even afraid of you, God. Please open my heart to your love. Show me how to understand and how to live with you each day. I don__ want to look weak, God, but the truth is I am weak because I don__ know you at all. Please come into my heart and allow me to push aside my pride and accept you totally into my life. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus__ name, I pray, amen.

You__e not going to always hit a home run in life. You__e going to strike out! You__e going to walk to the dugout of life, frustrated, while spectators chirp your name in judgment. They__e afraid to even get on the field, and you know it. The fact that you get back up there, unafraid, going after that next home run, makes you the person you are.

We all reach a point in our lives where time is the most expensive thing we have.

I think we spend more time thinking of things to deal with than just letting them go. When we quiet our minds, that__ true freedom.

It__ best to have a small boat of friends where everyone rows than an ark of friends where no one does. At least you__e getting somewhere.

The right path in life will always come with patience. It__ when we reach an understanding that everything happens in God__ time that we walk the right path.
