Your enemy would love for you to develop a victim mentality. He wants you to think that you are the only one going through what you're going through. Keith Moore says, "Don't ever, ever, ever...never, never, never...ever...feel sorry for yourself."

Why? Warfare always surrounds the birth of a miracle!

We all face storms. We all face discouragement and disappointments from time to time. Where does most of our growing take place? In the storms of life. I truly hate some of the things I’ve been through in my life. I wish more than anything I had made different choices and resisted temptations. I wish I could erase many things from my past, but I would not be who I am today and I certainly would not know God the way I know Him now if I hadn’t gone through those hard places.

I want you to stop focusing on what you’re leaving and zero in on what you’re going toward. You are going to be more fulfilled than you’ve ever been in your life. With God ordering your steps, you’re going to pull your shoulders back, hold your head up and walk right into His perfect will for your life.

Always remember that three steps forward and two steps back still equals one step ahead.
