“The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.”

For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can’t hold any back.

Worry is the warning light that shows I’ve stopped looking to God to meet my needs.

When you feel nothing, God is teaching you to live by faith.

Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves that allows us to get on with our lives instead of being trapped in the past by resentment.

When you use your life for God’s glory, everything you do can become an act of worship

What gives me the most hope every day is God’s grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.

Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.

God’s ultimate goal for your life on earth is not comfort, but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.

Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.

You can’t make a life without making mistakes. Relax and learn something.

Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.

People are interested by talent. God is impressed by character

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Don’t waste your pain; use it to help others.

Life is about letting God use you for his purposes, not using him for your own purpose.

Remember that your character is the sum total of your habits.

The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.
