God never brings you out the same. When you understand this principle, you won’t live bitter when people do you wrong, you won’t fall apart when you go through loss, you won't give up on your dreams. Instead, you know it’s setting you up for something greater.
Sometimes we’re waiting for these big miracles, but there are miracles in the mundane. The fact that you’re alive is a miracle. You have people in your life to love; that’s a miracle. Don’t miss the moment because it looks common.
Get up every morning and put on a fresh new attitude. This day is a gift from God. It’s filled with possibilities, new ideas, new friendships. Stay focused on the good; stay focused on the possibilities.
Sometimes the reason we’re frustrated is we’re trying to change things that only God can change. You can’t make people do what’s right. You can pray for them, you can encourage them but they have their own free will. Don’t let them steal your joy.
Sometimes what we think is a disappointment is really the hand of God. His ways are not our ways. Instead of being frustrated by what doesn’t work out, try a different approach and say, “God, I trust You.”
