Nutshell

Life can give us a lot to take on. But it's nice to break down into these key points: 

* You are not an accident. You're an intentional and unique individual creation in this universe.

* When everything broke, including you, take heart.
You're not left alone in your brokenness. You will always be sought for.

* Stay afloat in the floodwaters of life.

* Step out in faith. Take chances. Take risks.

* In doing things that need to be done, the best way sometimes is to do it rather than try to comprehend.

We are provided all we need.

* Knowing where we come from brings a sense of determination and destiny to our lives.

* When life seems out to get you, don't be afraid. Stand firm.

* Take rules as guidelines in life. Take it as a gift.

* We can mature from our failures. Our strengths are used, as well as our weaknesses.

* Hard times help. Have confidence to face these challenges and know how to deal with them.

* Make sense of your suffering. In suffering, trust is the best response there is.

* Life is knowing we are led, provided, rescued, restored, and given the needed righteousness.

* You can be guilty but at peace. The rebellion, guilt, and sin we feel can be turned around by love, grace, and compassion.

* There's a Spirit with a care enormous enough to be felt. It's closer than you think. It's all-knowing, ever-present, all-seeing. Seek it.

* Seek words of wisdom, discipline, and insight.

* The true beauty is the working in us from then until now.

* Feelings of inferiority can come, but they shouldn't stop us from doing what we must.

* Have the courage to face uncertainty.

* Have integrity under fire.

* Set aside the focus on ourselves to do what needs to be done. Practice self-sacrifice.

* You are loved for who you are.

* We should grow in the likeness we should be.

* Continue to become until you become complete as the person you're meant to be.

* Worry never works. Seek the right priorities.

* Life over the long haul is about the choices we make. They matter, both big and small, and they affect the development of our character.

* Find that Higher Power. It's strong enough - stronger than nature, evil, sickness, and death. It's also a miracle maker.

* Seek the truth of the movement made in our world.

* Look for the value. Seek generosity, not grudging, with love and forgiveness. Take all means to create the right relationships.

* Know God. Know Jesus, the Son of God, who did what He needed to do all for love. His scars bear a story.

* He beat death. His resurrection should serve as our hope for living.

* He ascended heaven and will return to Earth again.

We should develop the ability to see beyond what we experience today and what we'll face tomorrow.

* Let us experience the power and life of the Holy Spirit always. Take part in His community.

* When there are interruptions in your life, don't fret. It's a transformation of a life to a big one.

* The people we can't stand are also loved. Show that kind of love.

* Heaven has something hopeful in store for us. The miracle of heaven is available to us at the very moment.

* We're being valued even before we were made. We're given a destiny. And no matter our immediate situation, something good comes from it.

* Love is more than a feeling. It's willing and working for each other's best interests - always.

* Produce the fruit in your life. It's the most important thing to look for.

* Listen and obey to accept the words we need to hear, even the most straightforward ones. Make them part of your true self.

Take these keys as a starting point. Then, feel free to widen your discovery of life and make the most of that journey.
