Already Beautiful
"You’re already beautiful because I made you. Stop trying to prove to the world that you are. Just be. Be beautiful effortlessly as you are. After all, I’ve done all the work when I created you." ~God

I Never Told You
I never told you what I should have said. I just held it in and now I miss everything about you.

Soul Mate
People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

The Gate
"I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. - Jesus (John 10: 9-10)"

The Greatest Moment of Your Life Is Now
Not because it’s pleasant or happy or easy, but because this moment is the only moment you’ve got. Every past moment is irretrievably gone. It’s never coming back. If you live there, you lose your life.
And the future is always out there somewhere. you can spend an eternity waiting for tomorrow, or worrying about tomorrow. If you live there, you likewise will lose your life.
This moment is God’s irreplaceable gift to you. Most of all, this is the moment that matters because this moment is where God is. If you are going to be with God at all, you must be with him now—in this moment.
That is why the psalmist says, “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
That is why the prophet says God’s mercies never fail because “they are new every morning.”
That is why the apostle Paul says, “Be very careful, then, how you live—-not as unwise but as wide, making the most of every opportunity.”
