Thoughts

Other people don’t make you what you are; they only reveal what you are.

You can’t trust and worry at the same time.

When you pray for God’s guidance, do not complain if it is different from your preference.

Chasing Happiness

I have learned that happiness is a choice, and one that I must make every day.

Circumstances don’t need to be perfect for me to choose to be happy and thankful for what I have and to make the most of it.

He Answered Nothing

There’s a stillness that lets God work for us, and holds our peace; the stillness that ceases from its contriving and its self vindication, and its expedients of wisdom and forethought, and lets God provide and answer the cruel blow, in His own unfailing, faithful love.

How often we lose God’s interposition by taking up our own cause, and striking for our defense.

After the Storm

After the Storm
It’s a brand new world outside.
You’re standing on the Rock again,
The only place you had to hide.

A song to encourage you
