God never gives up on us no matter how hard we try to get ourselves loose. God does not let go. That doesn't mean he controls everything we do. It doesn't mean he puts a bridle on us and leads us by the nose. He gives each one of us free will and common sense and a spirit that can communicate with his. When we go through afflictions, he allows us to choose our response. But no matter what our response may be, he sticks around to the bitter end.

As you're rushing through life, take time to stop a moment, look into people's eyes, say something kind, and try to make them laugh!

We can choose to gather to our hearts the thorns of disappointment, failure, loneliness, and dismay in our present situation. Or we can gather the flowers of God's grace, boundless love, abiding presence, and unmatched joy. I choose to gather the flowers.

Grudges are like hand grenades: it is wise to release them before they destroy you.

Your face is a billboard advertising your philosophy of life!

God will never let you sink under your circumstances. He always provides a safety net and His love always encircles.

Don’t let your life speed out of control. Live intentionally. Do something today that will last beyond your lifetime.
