Men are not our problem; it's what we are trying to get from them that messes us up. We use guys like mirrors to see if we're valuable.

God is not harsh; He is holy. He is not selfish; He is sovereign. He is not unfeeling; He is all-knowing. Like David, we need to come to know Him, and respect Him; and, like David, we will love Him more.

Believe that God has heard you.

The only reason I can hold up my head is because when He set me free He gave me my dignity back.

A person full of the Holy Spirit cannot be full of self. Pride never accompanies power in the fully yielded life.

Setbacks, on the other hand, just make us feel weak and stupid: I should have conquered this by now. I happened on a question not long ago that oerfectly expresses this mentality: How many times must I prove myself an idiot?

One of the most critical reasons believers experience defeat is because we categorize only a few areas of our lives as Christ's arena.
