“Forgiveness is one of the most basic and vital qualities that make for a happy, healthy life and a progressive spiritual path. Genuine forgiveness is not a typical attitude of the heart. It requires too much honesty and too little ego for the average person. It is a deep and solitary process known to the individual and God. Its ramifications are highly beneficial and sometimes miraculous. To have an ongoing practice of forgiveness is to extend our health, beauty, and agelessness. It increases our ability to face life with freshness and energy. We grow in wisdom and glow with lightness throughout the years. The passing of time will have minimal effect on us as it is the accumulation of hurt, not the passing of years, which ages people most rapidly.”

“God is more interested in what is going on inside your heart than your external behavior*... Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and obey Him, even when it's costly and doesn't make sense outwardly. When you do, you reveal the glory of God. *For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. -I Samuel 16:7”

“God is more interested in what is going on inside your heart than your external behavior. He is not concerned with your religious practice. He wants a heart soft, teachable, and bent toward obeying His voice. Listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit and obey Him, even when it's costly and doesn't make sense outwardly. When you do, you reveal the glory of God.”
