We can only take life one day at a time. If we keep our hope fixed on the eternal joy that is to come, we will make the most of these difficult days.

It is good to pursue the passions placed inside of us, and it is normal to feel discouraged when the path changes. However, it’s important to remember that the best path up a mountain is winding; God chooses the best way to take us where we’re meant to go.

You are not your mistakes. Sometimes God gives us opportunities just to practice hard things. If you gave it your best and it didn’t work out, don’t beat yourself up. Focus on the present. What can you do today to try again differently?

Dear One, take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Now zoom out to the big picture and ask yourself: “what will matter most 5 years from now?” Embrace adequacy. Not every task requires your best for those around you to know that they are loved.

Nothing is promised to us in this life, neither marriage or children. But if we wait upon our Creator for fulfillment, He will give us the best love of all — Himself.

Changing the world begins in the small places few can see. Create a safe haven from which you can go forth and love others, refreshed of heart, for beauty is a gift that renews.

Grace must be experienced through faith to be understood. Learn to receive God's forgiveness and watch Him paint your life with His atoning blood.

Jesus is enough. Enough for every thoughtless mistake and every moment of willful rebellion; for every fear, injustice, and rejection, He is enough.
