1.LONG-TERM HOPE
Since most of us are born with an abundance of natural desires, it isn’t strange that we often let these far exceed their intended purpose. When they drive us blindly, or we willfully demand that they supply us with more satisfactions or pleasures than are possible or due us, that is the point at which we depart from the degree of perfection that God wishes for us here on earth. That is the measure of our character defects, or, if you wish, of our sins.

4.I AM ENOUGH
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞, 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧. Most people spend their lives trying to fix the world around them—changing jobs, blaming others, chasing peace in noise.
But the real war isn’t out there, it’s the quiet struggle in your mind, the doubts you feed, the fears you run from, the voice that tells you you’re not enough.
