It may take a while but what’s meant for you will not mistakenly be given to someone else. God doesn’t miss any targets.

Maybe God doesn’t need you to remind him every 10 seconds that you want this or you want that because he knows you’re figuring it out. He knows you’re slowly learning the right way of doing things.

Maybe the things that don’t work the way you want them to or the prayers that go unanswered are all God’s way of saving you.

I’m slowly learning that my feelings don’t always make the right decisions or feel the right emotions. Sometimes they feel things out of loneliness, out of a certain need or just living out a fantasy in my head.

Thank you for the hardships — indeed, every hardship was followed by ease.

At the end of the day, God will always be the source of my strength. He’ll always be the source of hope that gets me through the toughest times.

Maybe it’s not so much about what we tell God but more about what he’s trying to tell us. Maybe we’re too busy talking and telling him what we need that we forget to step back and listen to his answers.

I realized that people only like you when you’re happy and light not when you’re sad and heavy. I realized that people only want you when you’re fun and loud not when you’re down and quiet.

I’m handing God everything I can’t handle. I’m giving God everything I don’t understand.

I envy these people. I want their faith. I want their strength. I want their solid feet when their world is falling apart. I want their forgiveness when their heart is breaking.

Maybe you’re not where you want to be at 20 or 30 or 40 because God is teaching you that you can’t keep living your life according to what society expects, what your parents expect, or even what you expect.…
