evemurphy Always always forgive. If you do not, it only hurts you (in many ways) and does not hurt the person who did the wrong to you. They may care if you forgive them or not, or they may not care. But you should always care if you forgive as it is a positive action...

evemurphy I try not to think of it as self-esteem--instead I call it 'not doubting myself'. Now that sounds like pretty much the same thing but really it isn't. If you have self-esteem you are sort of putting yourself in the box of people who think they are something--I...

jmay1226 @jmay1226 (97) • Philippines 3 Aug 11

evemurphy this is good advice because really without God and our dependence upon him we are like lost sheep looking for the shepherd and until we find him we don't feel secure or happy. Problems common and problems go but faith is always here to see us through.

wildlittlefan @wildlittlefan (4680) • Hong Kong 30 Jul 11
