Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.

Proverbs 21:2 KJV
I am so grateful for this truth. I don't always succeed but knowing that God searches the attitude of my heart gives me joy.

~Deut

Ephesians 4
29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, that it may give grace to those who hear.
That last one right there is the kicker. Lots of things I would have said, but when I asked myself why I wanted to say them I realized I should shut up.

This one is by author Brene Brown. It is a little different from some of the others but I find it so important. So many of us, myself included, try to keep everyone happy. We look for any disapproval to prove that we are frauds, that we are not enough. This is a wonderful rallying cry of truth, in our walk with Christ. It is time for a new mission.

“Stop walking through the world looking for confirmation that you don’t belong. You will always find it because you’ve made that your mission. Stop scouring people’s faces for evidence that you’re not enough. You will always find it because you’ve made that your goal. True belonging and self-worth are not goods; we don’t negotiate their value with the world. The truth about who we are lives in our hearts." (In Christ).

Wow, very well said. Thank you for taking the time to share that with us all.

Hope is necessary in every condition. The miseries of poverty, sickness, of captivity, would, without this comfort, be insupportable.

Hey GG. What you posted, reminds me of a famous movie quote from Rocky. Someone posted the movie clip above, but here is what the famous quote says (I have loved this since the first time I saw it!):

Well now that you sound like ur less narcoleptic when it comes to movies, might be a good time😄.
I can't say I have seen the one that this quote comes from, but I ran across the quote sometime ago and love it!

When you're young -
You have all the time and all the energy, but no money



When you're middle aged -
You have all the energy and all the money, but no time



When you're old -
You have all the money and all the time, but no energy

Such is life, eh?

Don't dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.
