Alleged 'impossibilities' are opportunities for our capacities to be stretched.

God declared me righteous!

Battles are won in the trenches, in the grit and grime of courageous determination; they are won day by day in the arena of life.

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)

How important is the heart! It is there that character is formed. It alone holds the secrets of true success. It's treasures are priceless - but they can be stolen.

Allow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view.

When Christ becomes our central focus, contentment replaces our anxiety as well as our fears and insecurities.
