When the dream in our heart is one that God has planted there, a strange happiness flowers into us. At that moment all of the spiritual resources of the universe are released to help us. Our praying is then at one with the will of God and becomes a channel for the Creator's always joyous, triumphant purposes for us and our world.

Often God has to shut a door in our face, so that He can subsequently open the door through which He wants us to go.

God's way of dealing with us is to throw us into situations over our depth, then supply us with the necessary ability to swim.

Of course you'll encounter trouble. But behold a God of power who can take any evil and turn it into a door of hope.

I learned that true forgiveness includes total acceptance.

The house, it's already been a-settin' here for a hundred years. It'll be right here tomorrow. It's today I must be livin'.

The search for God begins at the point of need.
