Sometimes God brings people into your life and you know right away that
they were meant to be there. To serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson
or help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never
know who these people may be, but when you lock eyes with them, you know
that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

Sometimes God allows things to happen to you at a time that may seem horrible,
painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those
obstacles you would have never realized how much you were able to bare
and how strong you have become in the Lord.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of
good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer
stupidity are all things that God allows to test the limits of our capabilities.
Without these small tests, life would be a smoothly paved, straight, flat
road to nowhere.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you
experience can create who you are, and the bad experiences can be learned
from. In fact, they are probably the most important ones.

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because
God has forgiven you. Through heartbreak God helps you to learn about trust

and the importance of being cautious to whom you give your heart to.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they
love you, but because God loves you. God is teaching you to love and to open
your heart and eyes to what love really is. Make every day count and enjoy all
the aspects of love.

Appreciate every moment that God has given you and take from it everything
that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let
yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high upon the dreams and
desires that God has for you.

Hold your head up because you are a child of the living God. Tell yourself you
are God's child and that He believes in you. God out and enjoy the life that He
has given you. Be yourself, the person that God has made you to be.

“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works;
and that my soul knoweth right well.” -Psalm 139:14.
