If your faith isn't rooted in the Bible, it will wither like a plant pulled out of the soil.

The same sun that melts the butter hardens the clay.

Be sure that your motive in praying is to glorify God.

Without dark clouds in our lives, we would never know the joy of sunshine. We can become callous and unteachable if we do not learn from pain.

After I graduated from high school, one of the former workers on our farm asked if I would be willing to join him in selling Fuller brushes through the summer. It seemed like a perfect way to make some money for college. And being away from my parents and learning to make my own way gave me self confidence.

God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.

May our prayers today, and every day, be from our hearts and with the focus of our whole being.
