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

I’m here today to warn you: I want you to watch out for the adversary. Guard yourself from any spirit of entitlement. Restrain any and all subtle temptation to gain attention or to find ways to promote yourself.

Jesus kept it simple. The lesson wasn’t complicated. ‘I speak; you believe My word; your son will be fine.’ We complicate what God has made simple by seeing the world through human eyes. We want to see in order to believe and presume that our limitations are His.

Envy is one of the great enemies of active spirituality. It keeps us from loving our neighbours, from functioning with others in community, and from affirming people’s unique worth. It also steals contentment from the heart. Is there anything or anyone you are envious of?

We can’t solve modern problems by going back in time. Retreating to the safety of the familiar is an understandable response, but God has called us to a life of faith. And faith requires us to face the unknown while trusting Him completely.

God is a specialist at making something useful and beautiful out of something broken and confused.

No pressure is greater than God’s power.

If you never get criticized, chances are you aren’t getting anything done.

We shouldn’t deny the pain of what happens in our lives. We should just refuse to focus only on the valleys.

One of the worst things you can give to your people is someone you’re not.

A teardrop on earth summons the King of heaven.

When God is involved, anything can happen. Be open. Stay that way. God has a beautiful way of bringing good vibrations out of broken chords.

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.

The single observation I would offer for your consideration is that some things are beyond your control.

There’s definitely a dangerous feeling when you’re in love-it’s giving your heart to someone else and knowing that they have control over your feelings. I know for me, who always tries to be so tough, that’s the dangerous thing.

Self-disciplined begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.

Man does not control his own fate. The women in his life do that for him.

If a society is to be free, its government has to be controlled.

Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions.

You can be happy if you know this secret: Some things are within your power to control and some things are not.

The vote controls everything that you do.
