“Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.”

Living by faith isn’t living with certainty. It’s trusting God in spite of unanswered questions and unresolved doubts.

Great opportunities may come once in a lifetime, but small opportunities surround us every day.

Without implementation, all of our Bible studies are worthless.

God doesn’t owe us an explanation for everything and actually what I’ve found is that explanations don’t comfort. What comforts is the presence of God, not the explanation of God.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD Difficult moments, SEEK GOD Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD Painful moments, TRUST GOD Every moment, THANK GOD

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.

I serve a higher power, Jesus Christ. I make no apologies in saying that.

The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve.

Never let an impossible situation intimidate you. Let it motivate you – to pray more, trust more, expect more.

Receiving, reading, researching, remembering, and reflecting on the Word of God are all useless if we fail to put what we learn into practice.

Racism is stupid. It’s an insult to God, arrogantly implying that God goofed-up when he chose to make us all different.

God accepts us unconditionally, and in his view we are all precious and priceless. Focus on this and you will not waste any time and effort trying to be someone you’re not.

We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.

Prayer is the greatest use of my words.

You don’t have to be famous to be great.

To make the most of your life you must keep the vision of eternity continually in your mind and the value of it in your heart.

If your eyes could speak what stories would it tell? Would it even be able to speak or would it end up choking on all the water?

He was a wildfire burned bright and fast and free.

Not every story has a happy ending.

And in the end, she realized she wasn’t just enough. She was so much more.

Remind yourself that you ended a chapter to start a new one not to re-read the previous one.

Nor can a man any more live, whose Desires are at an end, than he, whose Senses and Imaginations are at a stand.

In the end what matters is not how good we are but how good God is. Not how much we love Him but how much He loves us. And God loves us whoever we are, whatever we’ve done or failed to do, whatever we believe or can’t.

It’s not the pace of life I mind. It’s the sudden stop at the end.
