Quotes from Devon O'Day

People are not born with hearts of stone; there's a reason they harden. Sometimes they make poor choices, and sometimes they lack discipline. As a result of these choices, people carry around blame or anger with themselves, which looks like harshness on the outside. Sometimes we simply don't know any better.

Some things are not meant to be forever. They are just meant to get us there. Every friendship, every job, every place we live, is just a bridge to learning something we need in order to become who we are to be. People leave us because their part in our journey is finished. We never complete anything without having a lesson to be learned. Good-byes always leave us with a piece missing, don't they? Change is always difficult.

We will do whatever it takes to get what we think we want. We get it, but then we wake up with thorns to pick out and bills to pay. But even when we've spent so much time seeking the wrong things, we will find relief in our hearts when we fall into God's arms and allow him to guide us.

With my great power and outstretched arm I made the earth and its people and the animals that are on it, and I give it to anyone I please. —Jeremiah 27:5

When the world tries to convince you of drought, trust in God's ability to care for you.

We have access through prayer to the peace of mind and soul that comes with knowing that the One who loves us most knows our every circumstance.

Anytime fear and worry enter the picture, take warning: it is not your Father talking!

God doesn't erase our past for us. Instead, he heals the one we've got.
