Life Lessons Quote by Shaila Touchton — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“When the wicked plot against the righteous, fueled by jealousy and hatred, God turns their destruction back upon themselves, for He is the shield of the upright and the defender of the innocent.”

“The Bible also emphasizes the destructive nature of intoxication. In Proverbs 4:17, it is written, "They eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence." This verse illustrates how excessive drinking can lead to violent and wicked behaviour. Furthermore, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds believers that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, and that they should not destroy their bodies through sinful behaviour, including excessive drinking.”

“Rejection can be God's protection, shielding us from harm and guiding us towards His best. Though painful, rejection can redirect our path and build resilience. Trust in God's sovereignty, knowing He works all things for our good. Sometimes, what seems like rejection is actually God's protection from toxic relationships or misguided paths. Let us seek to understand God's purpose in rejection and trust in His goodness. In His protection, we find peace and hope for a brighter future.”

“When God's Word is spoken, it can convict people of their sin (John 16:8). This conviction can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and defensiveness. Instead of acknowledging their sin and repenting, they may lash out at the messenger. This reaction is often a result of the person's inner struggle to come to terms with their wrongdoing. As messengers of God's Word, it's crucial to approach these situations with empathy and compassion, while still conveying the truth.”

“Resilience is a fundamental principle of success. If you give up before you reach your goal, you will not experience success.”

“Only if you are not complacent about pursuing success and are not lazy about improving yourself will you be truly content.”

“I do not regret one moment of my life.”

“Peace is not the absence of chaos — it’s learning what deserves your reaction”

“Seek the kind of wisdom that can assist you to unlock and navigate the path to success. It is not hidden. It is within you and around you. It is in the Word you hear, in the books you read, in the prayers you make, in the experiences you have, and in the lessons you learn.”

“If experience is the best teacher, there's nothing that comes close to the experience of life.”
