“It is impossible to love deeply without sacrifice.”

Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God’s story never ends with ‘ashes.

A whole lot of what we call ‘struggling’ is simply delayed obedience.

If my life is surrendered to God, all is well. Let me not grab it back, as though it were in peril in His hand but would be safer in mine!

Where does your security lie? Is God your refuge, your hiding place, your stronghold, your shepherd, your counselor, your friend, your redeemer, your saviour, your guide? If He is, you don’t need to search any further for security.

Sometimes life is so hard you can only do the next thing.Whatever that is just do the next thing.God will meet you there.

The disciplined Christian will be very careful what sort of counsel he seeks from others. Counsel that contradicts the written Word is ungodly counsel. Blessed is the man that walketh not in that.

Our future may look fearfully intimidating, yet we can look up to the Engineer of the Universe, confident that nothing escapes His attention or slips out of the control of those strong hands.

The devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, crowds. He will not allow quietness.

A prayerful heart and an obedient heart will learn, very slowly and not without sorrow, to stake everything on God Himself.

Leave it all in the Hands that were wounded for you

One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime.

What I ought to do and what I feel like doing are seldom the same thing.

We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.

You are loved with an everlasting love. And underneath are the everlasting arms.

Faith’s most severe tests come not when we see nothing, but when we see a stunning array of evidence that seems to prove our faith vain.

It is God to whom and with whom we travel, and while He is the end of our journey, He is also at every stopping place.

Tone matters more than words.

Men hate those to whom they have to lie.

Invisible things are the only realities.

As long as you feel like a victim, you are one.

The greatness of a mind is determined by the depth of its suffering.

We humans are nothing more than the sum of our memories.

Never idealize others. They will never live up to your expectations.

I paint flowers so they will not die.
