We're heading for a final wedding and everyone's invited to the wedding. The question is: Have you accepted the invitation?
Sometimes GOD doesn't change the situation because HE's working on changing us.
Never settle for less. Know your worth. Work with your head high and your shoulders squared. Yes, you, you are a king's kid. Royalty runs in your DNA. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
"Jesus was not recognized by His very own (family, brethren, and some of his disciples-Peter, Thomas, and Judas the betrayer), yet He still went about DOING GOOD. Don't be offended when people doubt or critique what you carry; that is what I call GRACE, and that's the sure thing that makes the difference. So, for the doubters, betrayers, gossipers, sideline observers, spectators, naysayers, and backbiters, please accept Jesus as Lord and love one another as Christ loves you.
"[Christ] has trodden every step of the way before us; whatever our temptations, he has been so tempted; whatever our afflictions, he has been so afflicted." -
Charles Spurgeon
A graceless heart may be troubled for the rod that sin draws after it, but not for sin itself.

It is no small evil in believers not to be pressing after perfection in believing and obedience. —John Owen, Works 6:413
Any time we feel it may be easier to go it on our own and not bring a decision back to God’s Word, we must recognize that thinking for what it is — a lie from Satan. The Word of God is our handbook for living. Let’s keep it close and use it as a light unto our path every day.
“Relying on God has to begin all over again every day as if nothing had yet been done.”
- C.S. Lewis
It's amazing to me how offended some people are by a God in whom they don't believe.
