"Mistakes are all part of growth. Without those mistakes, growth won't be complete."

"God expects you to make mistakes too."

"God has made room for your mistakes. He has incorporated your fumbling, stumbling, and struggling as part of His overall plan to bless your life."

"Believe that the best is yet to come."

"God's plan is bigger than all your mistakes put together."

"Self-compassion: mindfulness, common humanity, and kindness."

"Mindfulness is holding your own thoughts and feelings rather than suppressing or being carried awayby them."

"Common humanity is the understanding that your feelings and experiences are not completely unique."

"Kindness means a commitment to reduce  future instances such as suffering."

"Whatever you do, work it with all your heart, as working for the Lord,
 not for men." (Colossians 3:23)

"Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up." (Galatians 6:9)

"Anything and everything We seem to have on earth is temporary. Give our best all the time, enjoy life, treasure relationships and trust God with all the rest."

"It is either you accept this reality and move on in your lives, or be stuck in unforgiveness and resentment."

"But with God's grace and help, your negative feelings can be transformed into positive feelings of acceptance and forgiveness."

"Train a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old he will not depart from it."(Proverbs22:6)

"Your past does not define your future. God alone handles your future. He has great plans for you."

"Once I asked God, "Why?" He spoke through my heart and answered, "Why not?"

"Why should I question God when He didn't ease His own son's suffering?Be still, Know that I am God."

"But God says that no matter how big or small your problems are, your life has a happy ending."

"You just have to trust that God  holds the big picture of your lifeand that your problem is only a small piece of the whole puzzle."

"Trust and Hope spell the difference between being overwhelmed by your problems and overcoming them."

"We know that all things work for good for those who love God, whho are called according to his purpose."(Romans 8:28)

"Believe that your Easter Sunday is coming."

"The reason you don't understand is because you're not holding the big picture. God is holding the big picture."

"Don't worry about anything, but in all your prayers ask God for what you need, always asking Him with a thankful heart."

"Suffering's greatest gift is compassion. You realize that everyone  is suffering, needs love, just like you."

"Only God's love is permanent. It will last forever."

"Our God is a God of Hope."

"I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us."(Romans 8:18)

"This suffering is nothing."

"...for what is seen is transitory, but what is unseen is eternal."

"Hope is like a telescope. It helps you look at the distant future."

"He's SMILING."

"Happiness in life has nothing to do with how little or how big your many problems are. It has to  do with the size of your hope. You could have so many problems in life, but if you have hope,
you're OK."

"Today is not good, but tomorrow will be better."

"There are two kinds of people: people who take away hope from people's life and people who give hope to others."

"You are because I loved You."

"Our Fears paralyze and stop us from pursuing our goals."

"Fight FEAR (False Expectations Appearing Real) with FEAR (Faith Enlarged to Accept Rewards)."
