Times may be hard and people may be demanding, but never forget that life is special. Every single day is a special day. God is at work in you!

The beautiful thing about this adventure called faith is that we can count on Him never to lead us astray.

When it seems like that's all there is, remember all you have in Him.

[God] is able to take your life, with all of the heartache, all of the pain, all of the regret, all of the missed opportunities, and use you for His glory.

Encourage one another. Many times a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept people on their feet.

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 acknowledges the ugliness of sin by choosing to see beyond it. Grace accepts a person as someone worthy of kindness despite whatever grime or hard-shell casing keeps him or her separated from the rest of the world. Grace is a gift of tender mercy when it makes the least sense.

Love has been called the most effective motivational force in all the world. When love is at work in us, it is remarkable how giving and forgiving, understanding and tolerant we can be.
