"People only see what is visible, measurable. God sees into the heart. He not only forgives our failures, He sees successes where no one else does - not even ourselves. Only God can give us credit for the angry words we did not speak, the temptations we resisted, the patience and gentleness little noticed and long forgotten by those around us. Just being human gives us value in His eyes, and trying to live with integrity makes us successful before Him. God redeems us from the sense and fear of failure because He sees us as no human eyes can see us. Some religions teach that God sees so clearly that He knows all our shameful thoughts and nasty secrets. I prefer to believe that God sees us so clearly that He knows better than anyone else our wounds and sorrows, the scars on our hearts from having wanted to do more and do better, and being told by the world that we never would." ~Rabbi Harold Kushner

"I know what I know"

Here are a few things that I know for sure right now...

My Father in Heaven loves me.
There IS a way back to his presence...
and I CAN make it.
Life is rough all over.
I have more control than I often give myself credit for.
Never miss an opportunity to make friends...you never know who is going to rock your socks.
The Gospel IS true.
The truth DOES set you free.
