"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."-Matthew 6:19-21

"God loves you! It doesn't matter what you look like, who you are, or what you've done."

"December 31st doesn’t give you a new year. January 1st doesn’t give you a new year. It’s not the changing of a calendar that gets you a new year. It’s the changing of a mind-set. It’s the changing of an attitude. It’s the changing of your spirit. It’s the changing of your heart. You could have a new year in the middle of the year. Whenever you you’ve got a new mind, you’ve got a new year."-TDJ

"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."-Psalm 118:24

"If I love you, I will carry for you all your pain, I will assume for you all your debts (in every definition of the word), I will protect you from your own insecurity, I will project upon you all sorts of good qualities that you have never actually cultivated in yourself, and I will buy Christmas presents for your entire family. I will give you the sun and the rain, and if they are not available, I will give you a sun check and a rain check. I will give you all this and more, until I get so exhausted and depleted that the only way I can recover my energy is by becoming infatuated with someone else."-Elizabeth Gilbert

"There is so much about my fate that I cannot control, but other things do fall under the jurisdiction. I can decide how I spend my time, whom I interact with, whom I share my body and life and money and energy with. I can select what I can read and eat and study. I can choose how I am going to regard unfortunate circumstances in my life--whether I will see them as curses or opportunities. I can choose my words and the tone of voice in which I speak to others. And most of all, I can choose my thoughts."-Elizabeth Gilbert

"I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism."-Elizabeth Gilbert

"So, you can't text me...and you can't e-mail me...and you can't write on my wall. Like...if you really miss me, you need to grow up and get in your car and come see me."

"God wrote your story.  He cast you in His drama. You hang as God’s work of art, a testimony in His gallery of grace."-Max Lucado

"Congratulations on your ability to create drama out of absolutely nothing."

"Sometimes, things look better if you ever so slightly change your position."

"God can preach more to you through the things you go through than He ever will through the sermons you hear. You will learn more about God at the bus stop, in the unemployment line, dealing with a crisis, in the hospital, than you ever did at church. You will learn more about God raising children, getting married, going through sickness, going through tests. It looks like an interruption, but No. God is using the stuff in your life to show you––I’m Still God in EVERYTHING."-TDJ

"Things are to be used and people are to be loved. The problem in today's world is that people are used while things are loved." 

"Happy is the one who learns to bear what he can't change!"-J.C.F.Von Schiller

"We can only build our side of the relationship bridge. We cannot cross over and build the other person's side. If they cast down their side of the bridge, if they don't want the relationship anymore, at least we built our side... and our side still stands."-DL

"When it comes to relationships, we are only responsible for cleaning up the mess on our side of the street. The other person is responsible for cleaning up the mess on their side."-DL

"You can't litter negativity everywhere and then wonder why you've got a trashy life."

"To let go isn’t to forget, not to think about, or ignore. It doesn’t leave feelings of anger, jealousy, or regret. Letting go isn’t about winning or losing. It’s not about pride and it’s not about how you appear, and it’s not obsessing or dwelling on the past. Letting go isn’t blocking memories or thinking sad thoughts, and doesn’t leave emptiness, hurt, or sadness. It’s not about giving in or giving up. Letting go isn’t about loss and it’s not about defeat. To let go is to cherish the memories, but to overcome and move on. It is having an open mind confidence in the future. Letting go is learning and experiencing and growing. To let go is to be thankful for the experiences that made you laugh, made you cry, and made you grow. It’s about all that you have, all that you had, and all that you will soon gain. Letting go is having the courage to accept change, and the strength to keep moving. Letting go is growing up."

"Under all that we think, lives all we believe, like the ultimate veil of our spirits."-Antonio Machado

"The past is past. God cleared the history, updated the files, and removed the system restoration command. Only but God!"-REK

 

"Everyone says that love hurts. But, that's not true. Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Everyone confuses these with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us feel wonderful again."-Unknown

 

"You are valuable just because you exist. Not because of what you do, or what you have done, but simply because you are." Max Lucado

"I laugh, I love, I hope, I try, I hurt, I need, I fear, I cry. And I know you do the same things too, So we're really not that different, me and you."-Colin Raye

"Don't worry about how slowly you feel you're heading to your dreams, or how many roadblocks you find, or detours you need to take. You're still cruising far ahead of everyone who's too afraid to even try."-KS

"I need to remember that no one is going to make my dreams come true for me. It is my job to get up every day and work towards the things that are deepest in my heart and embrace every step of the journey, rather than wishing I was already where I want to be."
