“Ask God to show you His plans, not bless your dreams”

If your faith isn’t rooted in the Bible, it will wither like a plant pulled out of the soil.

If people are kicking you in the behind, at least you’re in front of them.

The farther we get from God, the more the world spirals out of control.

Knowing we will be with Christ forever far outweighs our burdens today! Keep your eyes on eternity!

The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.

A suffering person does not need a lecture – he needs a listener.

My one purpose in life is to help people find a personal relationship with God, which, I believe, comes through knowing Christ.

A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.

Don’t let past mistakes keep you from seeking God

Whatever affliction comes in our life, our Lord goes into the valley with us, leading us by the hand, even carrying us when it is necessary.

Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil – it has no point.

We have perfected our weapons but failed to perfect the men who use them.

Suffering is part of the human condition, and it comes to us all. The key is how we react to it, either turning away from God in anger and bitterness or growing closer to Him in trust and confidence.

Don’t let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think that the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another door – if we seek it.

Don’t ever hesitate to take to [God] whatever is on your heart. He already knows it anyway, but He doesn’t want you to bear its pain or celebrate its joy alone.

Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from knowing God.

Does it seem that everything is extravagance in the world, or rather madness, when you watch the way things go? A crowd of rogues enjoy blessings they have won by sheer injustice, while more honest folks are miserable and die of hunger.

One should always look to the end of everything, how it will finally come out. For the god has shown blessedness to many only to overturn them utterly in the end.

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.

I find, even though it’s raining, I just go outside. I look outside and I’m just so blessed to see it and to experience it, because for such a long time I was just indoors.

Blessed is the person who sees the need, recognizes the responsibility, and actively becomes the answer.

A friend is one with whom you are comfortable, to whom you are loyal, through whom you are blessed, and for whom you are grateful.

Blessed be his name, who hath appointed the quiet night to follow the busy day, and the calm sleep to refresh the wearied limbs and to compose the troubled spirit.

I have heard men talk about the blessings of freedom, he said to himself, but I wish any wise man would teach me what use to make of it now that I have it.
