All that will matter forever and ever in our heavenly state is the glory that came to God through our lives.

Every inch of ground we refuse to take with God, we surrender to the enemy.

The next time you feel rejection's sting, remember God's words to Samuel: "It is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me." (1 Sam. 8:7)

If Jesus gives us a task or assigns us to a difficult season, every ounce of our experience is meant for our instruction and completion if only we'll let Him finish the work. I fear, however, that we are so attention-deficit that we settle for bearable when beauty is just around the corner.

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

When we don’t take God too seriously, others don’t take our leadership too seriously!

I don't know what kind of courage it took thousands of years ago, but I know how courageous women need to be today.
