Hope Evermore: Quotes, Verse, & Spiritual Inspiration for Every Day of the Year Quotes

“To mature, to progress, to grow—these require becoming a better version of yourself while acknowledging that experience has made you wiser. Maturation means admitting that (given the chance to turn back time) you would do things in a healthier, calmer, more constructive way based on what you have learned. Progress is shown as you accept and own the mistakes that were made, especially those that resulted in unfortunate consequences for others. The real growth comes when you offer apologies, make amends, and vow never again to repeat those same mistakes.”

“If looking back on life, you have no regrets, no disappointments, no mistakes, no dark days—things from which you have learned, grown, improved, and strengthened—then what good has life done you?”

“The Lord really does magnify ordinary people to get His work done. God does this despite our pitiful sins and vast imperfections because if He insisted on calling only perfect people to the work, there would be no one on Earth qualified. It is not our perfection but our humble willingness that He counts on. Even with weaknesses and sins, God extends callings to both men and women, asking them to do what needs doing so that great things are accomplished with human effort. Yes, God could perform every task on his own and do so flawlessly, but it is our personal improvement for which He is concerned. Significant growth occurs in the midst of fulfilling God’s callings, and our finer growth is His ultimate work and glory.”
