“Vision is the ability to see God’s presence, to perceive God’s power, to focus on God’s plan in spite of the obstacles.”

Let`s choose each day and every day to keep an attitude of faith and joy and belief and compassion.

The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

One of the problems with worry is that it keeps you from enjoying what you have.

Consistency: It’s the jewel worth wearing; It’s the anchor worth weighing; It’s the thread worth weaving; It’s a battle worth winning.

If you are having difficulty loving or relating to an individual, take him to God. Bother the Lord with this person. Don’t you be bothered with him – leave him at the throne.

Strength comes from choosing to fully trust, pray, and praise. Our circumstances may not change, but in the process we change.

Tell yourself right now and throughout today, that it’s okay to draw away from the maddening crowd. Jesus did; so can you.

Every one of us can blame somebody for something that has happened in our lives. But don’t waste your time. What we need most is a steady stream of love flowing among us. Love that quickly forgives, willingly overlooks, and refuses to take offense.

It helps me if I remember that God is in charge of my day – not I.

Don’t seek more days in your life but more life in your days.

We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

Don’t expect wisdom to come into your life like great chunks of rock on a conveyor belt. Wisdom comes privately from God as a byproduct of right decisions, godly reactions, and the application of spiritual principles to daily circumstances.

There is no counsel like God’s counsel. No comfort like His comfort. No wisdom more profound than the wisdom of the Scriptures.

Believing in grace is one thing. Living it is another.

People who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.

If your title disappears, does your ability to influence?

Mutual caring relationships require kindness and patience, tolerance, optimism, joy in the other’s achievements, confidence in oneself, and the ability to give without undue thought of gain.

What a weary time those years were – to have the desire and the need to live but not the ability.

Change starts with energy, outlook, belief, and the ability to notice the great things happening around you. 

Political judgment is the ability to hear the distant hoofbeats of the horse of history.

The ability to consciously decide and alter which direction is best for you in every moment is an amazing privilege. 

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Owning useless stuff has the ability to increase your stress and anxiety levels.
