I glance back in the mirror to the concrete bridge, the one I've boldly driven straight across without second thought, and I see truth reflecting back at me: Every time fear freezes and worry writhes, every time I surrender to stress, aren't I advertising the unreliability of God? That I really don't believe? But if I'm grateful to the Bridge Builder for the crossing of a million strong bridges, thankful for a million faithful moments, my life speaks my beliefs and I trust Him again.

Gratitude is the most fruitful way of deepening your consciousness that you are a divine choice.

Life is so urgent it necessitates living slow.

Every breath is a battle between grudgery and gratitude. Give thanks...and you win joy.

Life isn't an emergency. Christ is in charge of every moment of the day; nothing catches Him off guard.

We all get to choose where we set up the stage of our lives - before the Crowds, the Court, the Congregation, the Critics (inner or otherwise)-- or the Cross of Christ. All except One will assess your performance. Only One will accept you before your performance ... Only in Jesus is there 100% acceptance before even 1% performance.

Hurry always empties a soul.
