"God is in control of all events in the history of this planet—past, present, and future. God will open some doors, and He will close others. He will determine how long we will live. That is not up to us; that is up to Him. The doors God closes are closed for good. And the doors He opens will be opened for good. No power on earth can change this. It is a good reminder for us to remember that God is in control. We don't have to be afraid to commit an unknown future to a known God. He is in control of our lives."-Greg Laurie

"Those who should have loved you, did not.  Those who could have loved you, didn't.  You were left at the hospital.  Left at the altar. Left with an empty bed.  Left with a broken heart.  Left with your question, “Does anybody love me?” Listen to heaven’s answer:  God loves you—with a love that never fails.  Personally.  Powerfully.  Passionately.  God loves you with unfailing love!"-Max Lucado

"Relax. God saw your situation coming long before you did. He’s STILL in control."-TDJ

"You can be stunned, awakened, and changed by what happens to you, but choose to grow from it, and refuse to be reduced by it.  Repeat after me: “I am determined to live a happy life no matter my challenges.  I will turn all my tales of fury into tales of glory.  I will turn all of my tales of woe into tales of WOW!”"-Karen Salmonsohn

"Our minds often go back to times when we were hurt, rejected, overlooked, abused, neglected, and left all alone. Dwelling on these times keeps us from moving forward in our Christian walk. We are not to focus on all that happened in the past, but look forward to that place God wants us to be. We will never forget all that has happened, we just cannot allow ourselves to get stuck there. Keep going forward; God is waiting for us there."-Daily Grace

"Let the curtain drop. After each event in your life, let the curtain drop at your heels as you leave that thing and go on to the next thing God has for you."-Joyce Meyer

"The Lord is your defense. You do not have to defend yourself when God has delivered you. Do not stop what you are doing in order to answer your accusers. Continue to bless His name, because when you have been through difficult times, you cannot afford to play with moods and attitudes. Depression and defensiveness may make you vulnerable to the devil."-TDJ

"Jacob says, "Benjamin is dead and Joseph is dead and all these things are against me," and yet NONE of them was dead. But, when you are tired and weary, you'll think things are dead—when they are not dead. That's why you're not to get divorced when you're tired. You're not to walk away from somebody tired. You're not to make great decisions when you're tired—because when you're tired and your emotions are exhausted—you'll think something is dead when it isn't."-TDJ



"Stop involving yourself in unnecessary chaos that only brings you down."-DD

"Sometimes, the happy ending is not that everything works out the way you want it to work out. Sometimes, the happy ending is walking with God—that it don't bother you any more."-TDJ
