“The duty of the branch is to cling to the vine.”

Gratitude lifts our eyes off the things we lack so we might see the blessings we possess.

Forgiveness is unlocking the door to set someone free and realising you were the prisoner!

God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.

Be quick to pray. Stop talking to yourself. Talk to Christ.

Lower your expectations of earth. This isn’t heaven, so don’t expect it to be.

God is God. He knows what he is doing. When you can’t trace his hand, trust his heart.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

You’re never without hope, because you’re never without prayer.

Focus on giants – you stumble. Focus on God – Giants tumble.

If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.

Give your problems to Christ before your problems get to you.

God is able to accomplish, provide, help, save, keep, subdue… He is able to do what you can’t. He already has a plan. God’s not bewildered. Go to Him.

A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little love can change a life.

Meet your fears with faith.

You will never forgive anyone more than God has already forgiven you.

You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done – but simply because you are.

Saints, it has been said, are the sinners who go on trying. So free men and women are the oppressed who go on trying and who in the process make themselves fit to bear the responsibilities and uphold the disciplines which will maintain a free society.

The media owes the responsibility to constantly tell the public the truth.

Policemen are seldom tried for their crimes, or indeed, held responsible for what they do, which disturbs the peace and causes distress among the orderly.

When people feel their insignificance as individual persons, they also suffer an undermining of their sense of human responsibility.

You must personally accept the responsibility of improving your own life.

Responsibility is what awaits outside the Eden of Creativity.
