“Perhaps you need to look up and around instead of back and down. Lift your eyes and see the amazing future which bursts with hope for you in God! Don’t spend your life mourning over what you have lost and what is already gone; take an inventory of what you have left and keep going, one foot in front of the other, one step of faith at a time. Remember, God is on your side!”

“God has an individualized, customized plan for your life. As you trust Him, He will bring it to pass in His timing, not yours.

The King James Version says, A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.”
