Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.

To live in the light of the resurrection - that is what Easter means.

The rain will stop, the night will end, the hurt will fade. Hope is never so lost that it can't be found.

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.

Our task is to become our best selves. One of God's greatest gifts to us is the joy of trying again, for no failure ever need be final.

Your life may be messed and your foolishness may have put you into captivity but Jesus can do the whatever it is that is immeasurably more in your life.

I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.

If you will keep the right attitude, God will take all your disappointments, broken dreams, the hurts and pains, and He'll add up all the trouble and sorrow that's been inflicted on you, and He will pay you back with twice as much peace, joy, happiness, and success.

Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Now we leave our tears for mirth. Now we sing, not death, but birth.

Life sometimes gives you a second chance.

Don't let the hurt of today blind you to the hope of tomorrow. Disappointment ushers in a new appointment.
