“I am stronger than temptation.

I am strong enough to change.”

“Home should be a safe haven. A refuge where love is expressed in both actions and words. When this is the case, heightened self-confidence, self-assurance, and self-worth are the outcomes. Love at home prepares individuals to attempt new things in the outside world, to chance missteps and failures, to learn from experiences that are not always gentle, knowing that love and acceptance await at home.”

“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.”

“Sincere, soul-felt repentance is a gift. It is the path to forgiveness, a way to change regrets and sins into gains like humility, empathy, and wisdom. Repentance will not fix everything that was broken, but it will mend your relationship with God, and that is of greater eternal importance.”

Speak where you were silent. Sing and laugh and dance where life once snatched your pen and scribbled black, ugly marks in your book. Buy new ink and print beautiful poetry over all the ugly parts.”

“Yes, God expects us to forgive others, but it is hardly ever easy. It helps me to think of it like I am facing a load of grimy, strenuous chores. If I don’t forgive, I have to keep at those awful chores. Or I can dump the load at God’s feet and say, “You deal with it; I’m going out to play.” Forgiveness frees me from all the tiring work of staying hurt and angry.”

“The fact that you have sinned and erred does NOT make you undeserving. That is what repentance is: confessing, repairing damages, and making positive changes moving forward. You are not undeserving because you erred, you are wiser because you learned. You can now extend real empathy to others because of the experience. Repent, improve, and know you are as deserving as anyone.”

“Every individual in the human race—that means you and I—can accomplish great things or, reversely, hold ourselves back from great accomplishments simply because of a willingness or refusal to work. Sadly, so many who can work neglect doing so. That is lamentable today when countless jobs and opportunities for education are available both remotely and on location.
Do yourself justice; work hard every day, learn something new every day, create something every day. Work is indeed the plain and simple key to transforming your life. Do not squander the opportunity to improve through honest work.”

“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?”
Source: Hope Evermore: Quotes, Verse, & Spiritual Inspiration for Every Day of the Year
“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.”

“Death concludes a mortal life, but it does not end an eternal relationship. Those whom we love and those who love us in return—they never go away. They are unseen but perceived by the spirit. They are unobserved but concerned with our success in this life. They stand beside us, cheering us on every day, extending everlasting love.”

“The only way a failure becomes a failure is by learning nothing from it. If we take away a lesson, then the experience is indeed a success.”
Source: Hope Evermore: Quotes, Verse, & Spiritual Inspiration for Every Day of the Year
“Failure is not the opposite of success but a steppingstone that leads to success. Failures mean you are trying. Failures mean you are learning. Failures mean you are putting in the efforts required to achieve the ultimate goal of success. Failures teach us, prepare us, and steer us toward whatever we set our sights on. Failures happen all the time. You have to keep trudging through them to get where you want to go.”

“I often thought of my dad as the man who worked so hard he was seldom home excepting nights and some weekends. Now I think of him as the man who taught me via example that hard work is how one obtains knowledge, confidence, dependability, accomplishment, self-reliance, and prosperity. Thank you for the life lesson, Dad.”

“Parents are to teach their kids, to give them tools and opportunities in which to learn and grow. Parents are not to learn for their kids, for what benefit is it to anyone if we prevent our children from acquiring their own knowledge?”

“Agency is the job. Choices are your duties while on the job. Consequences are the eventual paycheck. So, if you want a decent paycheck, make decent choices.”
Source: Hope Evermore: Quotes, Verse, & Spiritual Inspiration for Every Day of the Year
“Forcefulness is not love. Forget trying to force people into submission and instead try informing and educating as a means of gaining voluntary compliance. Never deny individual agency; it only creates resentment, defensiveness, and resistance. Education, on the other hand, creates wisdom that opens ears and hearts and minds. No one responds as favorably to demands as they do to informed requests.”

“When your personal decisions and behaviors are both self-centered and scheming, yet you expect your children to be considerate and honest—that is called insanity. Whether you like it or not, your living example, far more than your preaching, has the mightiest impact on the behavior of your children. If your life is a picture of deceit, then your example to be emulated is one of deceit. Repent and change before your children adopt the same behaviors.”

“My father was not always there,
yet he kept eagerly aware
of my rehearsals and my plays,
of struggles and my winning days.
My father often could not stay
to hear me sing or watch me play,
but it was his hard-working hands
that paid my dues for sports and band.
My father was not always near,
so he would call to lift and cheer.
He listened while I spoke my mind.
He gave advice both wise and kind.
And on those days when work was thru,
my father rushed straight home to view
my soccer game or concert show.
I treasured those days most, you know.”

“Dear Father in Heaven,
I thank thee this day
for blessings and mercies
thou sendest my way.
I thank thee for comfort
‘mid thunderous storms.
I cling to thy good word
when life feels forlorn.
I ask for enough strength
to bear life’s assaults.
I pray thou wilt forgive
my weakness and faults.
Dear Father in Heaven,
be mindful of all.
Please teach us to follow
thy counsel and call.
And when life has taught us
to love and to give,
I pray, Heavenly Father,
with thee we might live.”

“The Lord loves effort. What does that mean? It means we try. We do what we can. We do our best. We use our abilities and talents to the degree in which they have developed. God expects us to do what is within our power, and though our efforts may fall short, God loves that we try. Trust Him to make up the difference.”

“Prayer is a personal and intimate conversation between you and God. It is a time to share your biggest dreams and deepest fears. It is a time to tell God of your humble needs as well as every heartfelt desire. It is when to express great hopes and sincere gratitude.
Many times, during moments of stillness and contemplation in prayer, it is when inspiration, promptings, and insight come to your heart and mind as answers and guidance from a loving Heavenly Father.”
