Regret is resentment turned inward,

but the right kind of reflection will bring resolution

It is not what’s happening to you

It is what is happening through you

Inside your spirit

Things I went through that hurt,

I would not have chosen them

But there is something about what I’ve been through that has made me glad

Don’t feel sorry for me

I’ve been through enough to know

I have seen God’s hand work in my benefit

The more I’ve gone through the greater the thankfulness

The greater my strength my freedom

I’ve spent enough time wishing it would go away - but now I am glad about it.

I accept myself with open arms and joy

I might have scars and bumps - but the joy I have is irreplaceable and is a result of my journey

I will continue to have joy, love, thankfulness - for I know through my faith - my heart’s intent - will turn out for my freedom

You cannot experience the purpose of God with your head in the past

It’s turn-around time.

It is important to be watchful in the present.
