When God is involved, anything can happen. Be open. Stay that way. God has a beautiful way of bringing good vibrations out of broken chords.

To require God to prove that He is able and willing to fulfill His promises would be proof positive that one does not trust Him.

When you suffer and lose, that does not mean you are being disobedient to God. In fact, it might mean you're right in the center of His will. The path of obedience is often marked by times of suffering and loss.

Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis 500 or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood.

The longer I live the more I believe that the greatest enemy of a victorious Christian life is passivity.

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

What is God looking for? He is looking for men and women whose hearts are completely His - completely.
