Ruminating on the past will ruin your future. Dwelling on what went wrong won't make things right. Learn from it.Make amends when you can.Then move on. Your story isn't over.Start writing the next chapter.
What The Cross Does for Our Sin
The cross doesn't condone our sin-it cleanses it. The forgiveness God offers isn't a license to sin but an invitation to real life. Jesus didn't come to make you pay but to make a way. No matter your past, you can have a future with Jesus.
When a Relationship Ends
Not every relationship is meant to last forever. People don’t just come into your life—they come through it. Some will move on, some will walk away, and sometimes you will too. Appreciate the ones you’ve walked with and choose wisely who you walk with next.
When Doing What’s Right Feels Wrong
Sometimes doing what's right feels wrong. It’s hard to tell the truth, be hard, turn the other cheek, and give without receiving. That pain isn’t God saying no-it’s how we grow. Push through the pain. Don’t let how hard it is to do what’s right cause you to go along with something wrong.
Chasing Approval
Trying to make everyone happy will make you miserable. The more you chase approval, the less likely you are to receive it. Don’t waste energy being who others want you to be. Learn to become who you really are. You’ll never find your people while pretending to be someone you’re not.
When You’re Struggling to Be Accepted
Freedom begins when you accept you won’t be accepted by everyone. Even Jesus—the perfect Son of God—was rejected. Trying to do what He didn’t is a recipe for disappointment. Stop chasing approval and start resting in the One who will never turn you away.
