People who soar, are those who refuse to sit back and wish things would change

For there to be true maturity, people must be given room to grow, which includes room to fail.

Our minds can be kept free of anxiety as we dump the load of our cares on the Lord in prayer.

When we panic, we instinctively turn to our own internal resources because we doubt Him.

Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.

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.

One of the worst things you can give to your people is someone you're not.
