Stay away from people who make you feel you’re hard to love.
Surround yourself with people who remind you just how lovable you really are.

Have you ever wondered…
Have you ever wondered how many people we walk past each day and never even see?
Food for thought.
A Light From Within
People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. – Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Freedom Music
Christian spirituality is like a music birthed out of freedom. A language of the soul. Everybody sings their song the way they feel it, closing their eyes and lifting up their hands…
The Danger of Overvaluing Independence
Our culture puts too much value on independence. Reality is, to be truly independent is to be alone.
Some call this strength, but often it is laziness.
As humans, we’re designed to need each other. To believe that you can go at this world alone is like setting your soul down on a couch and never allowing it to exercise.
See, if you spend enough time alone, it soon becomes very hard to be around other people. You begin to think that the world belongs to you- that all space is your space and all time is your time.
You become so used to being able to daydream and keep yourself company, that other people are merely an intrusion. And this is terribly unhealthy.
God doesn’t want us floating through life alone, or sitting in front of our computers. He doesn’t want our lives to play out like an Independence film. He wants us interacting- laughing together, praying together, challenging each other…
If loving other people is a bit of heaven, then surely isolation is a bit of hell. While we’re on Earth, we get to decide in which state we would like to live.
In Arguments, Always Let the Other Person Save Face
In an argument, even if we are right and the other person is dead wrong, we only destroy ego by causing another to lose face. We have no right to say or do anything that diminishes a man in his own eyes. After all, what matters most is not what we think of him, but what he thinks of himself. Therefore, always preserve the dignity of others. In an argument, always let the other person save face.
Three-fourths of the people you will ever meet are hungering and thirsting for sympathy. Give it to them, and they will love you.
You deserve very little credit for being what you are.
If you want people to listen, talk to them about themselves.
Don’t Look Down On Others
The only time we should look down on another person is when we are reaching out our hand to lift them up.
