Don't seek more days in your life but more life in your days.
Peter must have thought, "Who am I compared to Mr. Faithfulness (John)?" But Jesus clarified the issue. John was responsible for John. Peter was responsible for Peter. And each had only one command to heed: "Follow Me." (John 21:20-22)

When it seems like that's all there is, remember all you have in Him.
Excellence-moral, ethical, personal excellence-is worth whatever it costs.
Good intentions and earnest effort are not enough. Only Jesus can make an otherwise futile life productive.
