And when God steps in, His working is like the difference between a skyscraper and a star.

We gain the ability to rejoice under pressure through a carefully monitored training program directed by the Lord Himself.

When the Lord makes it clear you're to follow Him in this new direction, focus fully on Him and refuse to be distracted by comparisons with others.

Grace has to be the loveliest word in the English language. It embodies almost every attractive quality we hope to find in others. Grace is a gift of the humble to the humiliated.

Grace is a gift of tender mercy when it makes the least sense.
