“It is a fatal mistake to assume that God’s goal for your life is material prosperity or popular success, as the world defines it.

“Feelings are not always true or logical. In fact, resentment makes us act and think in foolish ways. The psalmist admitted, “When my thoughts were bitter and my feelings were hurt, I was as stupid as an animal.”14 We all act beastly when hurt.”
