"Don't do anything you don't have peace about. Let peace be the umpire that decides if a thing should be in your life or not." Joyce Meyer (Colossians 3:15)

"When we get to know God—really know Him—it fills us with hope and confidence because we realize He’s greater than any situation we will ever encounter." - JM

When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted desires, a broken friendship--when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us." - Oswald Chambers

"You're not worthless. Don't let the things that hurt you keep you from loving yourself. I know this pain seems unbearable, but I promise you it will get better. I can't put a timeline on your healing, but I do know God will eventually bind up your wounds. I pray that your WORTH, JOY, and FAITH is restored in this moment. I pray this season won't last forever. I pray your brokenness is molded into everlasting strength. God's got you. Never forget that." - TS

In real estate it’s all about, “Location! Location! Location!” In knowing God it’s all about, “Perspective! Perspective! Perspective!” When we trust God, we’re able to see Him working in our circumstances, because we finally see our lives from His perspective; and when we see life from God’s perspective, at last, we see God working in our lives. But all of this will take one word: trust, and precious few people trust God enough to believe that what He allows will work for their good. Most people spend their lives wishing something different were happening to them. Trust Jesus! Let Him guide every aspect of your life, and you’ll learn to love the life He’s given you. Why? Because He does! “...it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” (Philippians 2:13) - Francis Anfuso

"Every person has two main files in their memory system. The first file is filled with all the good things that have happened to us -- our victories and accomplishments, the things that have brought us joy and happiness. The second file is filled with all the negative things -- our hurts and pains, defeats and failures, things that brought us sadness and sorrow. Throughout life, we can choose which file we access. Some people repeatedly return to file number two and relive the painful things that have happened to them. They practically wear out file number two, and they never get around to exploring file number one. If you want to be free, if you want to overcome self-pity, throw away the key to file number two. Keep your mind focused on the good things God has done in your life."

"God puts dreams and desires deep within our hearts, and waiting on Him to fulfill them can sometimes be so difficult. Even downright painful. If you find yourself in the waiting room of life, cling to this promise from Isaiah 30:18, and know that the end result of you waiting on God is your happiness. The God who knows you even better than you know yourself can be trusted with your heart's dreams." - Journey Magazine

"You could take away all the guns in the world, stack them up in Central Park and have a mountain of them—and not one gun is going to jump out of that stack and shoot you or hurt anybody. It takes a human being to pick up that gun, to load it, to point it, and to pull the trigger. The problem is not the gun, it’s the evil that lurks within the human heart. The Bible says, “For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies” (Matthew 15:19). Only God can change the heart." - FG

The enemy can't stop you from being blessed, but he can stop you from feeling blessed. The thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy. But Jesus came that you may have life, and have it more abundantly. (John 10:10) Don't let the enemy steal your joy, take your joy back - Enjoy LIFE! - TDJ

"In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” (Psalm 4:8 NIV)

"When you look back over your shoulder and you see where He brought you from, you have the courage to say the same God that brought me through yesterday, will take me through today and forever more. And, when you get to where you're going, it won't be where you're going that's so important. When you finally get there, all you want to talk about are the things you learned about Him along the way." - TDJ

"If you feel something strongly in your heart, you've prayed about it and it goes along with Scripture, then follow your heart. If you feel led to make a decision that others don't like, you shouldn't have to give an unreasonable amount of explanation for what you feel led to do. Maybe you don't know why—you just sense that's just what you're supposed to do. God has a plan, and you are part of that plan, but you won't live it if you live with the fear of man. What do you think God is saying to you? What are you sensing from God? Ultimately, you need to take responsibility for making the decision that brings peace to your heart. If you make a mistake, it's not the end of the world. But being true to what God has put on your heart is the key to your happiness." - JM

"Can I share a secret with you, precious one? Your worth and purpose do not depend on what you have done, or what has been done to you or where you have been, even if you have been to the precipice of hell. Your worth and purpose depend on God and God alone— His will, His calling, His choosing, His love. Read Ephesians 1:4-5." - Kay Arthur

"Peace is a calm feeling we have inside because we know God loves us and will care for us no matter what. Peace is the opposite of worry. When things in life don't go well for us, we can still have peace by trusting in God." - Our Daily Bread

"If God has been removing things out of your life, He is purging to make room for something new. This process of letting go can be difficult, but don't worry, you will not suffer lack. He will always replace it, or become it, He will fill the void! God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory. - Philippians 4:19 Trust Him." - TDJ
