Truth is love's mother, and we all know it is not wise to lie to anyone's mother.
All relationships have the same basic components: people, needs, and expectations.
It is not what you hear, it is where you listen from within yourself that gives meaning to the message.
There are no guarantees in life, but it is a sure thing that you will get back what you give. If you give 100 percent of your attention, energy, and time to a thing, you will get exactly that back. Make sure you give all that you have to make sure you will get all that you need.
Healing is the application of love.
[God is] all that is. Everything. Everything. Breath, life. Just get Webster's Dictionary and throw it on the floor. It's everything... God is everything.
Faith without challenge is nothing.
The journey into self-love and self-acceptance must begin with self-examination. ... until you take the journey of self-reflection, it is almost impossible to grow or learn in life.
I now know that nothing in my life will change until I change the way I see my life and myself.
It is an honor and a privilege to be of service and support; however, I realize people are not putting their confidence in me. Instead, they are actually learning to trust themselves. My job is to affirm and support them in the process and teach them to do what I do when I need strength: I begin within.
My grandma always said, "Trouble is what God uses to prepare you for better things!" If you have trouble in your life, you are in a valley. If you are in a valley, you are being prepared for something bigger, better, greater; something you probably could not handle now.
Had I not spent so much time doing something that made me so miserable, I would have never learned how to appreciate doing what brings me joy.
Your interests will guide you. Give no concern to what they say you cannot do. Be willing to accept the challenge. Take time to retreat to that quiet place within the pit of your soul and unleash your right to decide what is best for you.
No matter how painful your past has been, you have made it through.
