“Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God’s face.”

In God’s garden of grace, even broken trees bear fruit…

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.

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

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.

When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed, When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count your many blessings, name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

Never underestimate the power of an encouraging word.

A bad word from a colleague can darken a whole day. We need encouragement a lot more than we admit, even to ourselves.

Don’t be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience.

You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.

Encouragement is awesome. Think about it. It has the capacity to lift a man’s or a woman’s shoulders. To breathe fresh air into the fading embers of a smoldering dream. To actually change the course of another human being’s day, week, or life.

The beautiful thing about encouragement is that anybody can do it.

I am an engineer by profession, but I knew I wanted to act. My parents always encouraged me, and when my father shifted to Mumbai for work for a brief while, I came along.
