He said, *“I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh.”* This was God unveiling His eternal plan for humanity, a time when His Spirit would no longer be only on a select few, but would be made available to all humanity.

_As you learn about what will help you to make progress in life, it's equally important to know what could hinder or slow you down.

Forgiving others isn’t so much about the one who offended you; it’s about your own life; it’s for your benefit not theirs._
