If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings.

The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent of how I react to it. And so it is with you. we are in charge of our attitudes.

Deep, contended joy comes from a place of complete security and confidence [in God] - even in the midst of trial.

Fortunately, God made all varieties of people with a wide variety of interests and abilities. He has called people of every race and color who have been hurt by life in every manner imaginable. Even the scars of past abuse and injury can be the means of bringing healing to another. What wonderful opportunities to make disciples!

Lead with action and let the feelings follow.

Strength comes from choosing to fully trust, pray, and praise. Our circumstances may not change, but in the process we change.

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
