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

Grace is ours. Let's live it! Deny it or debate it and we kill it.

Tell yourself right now and throughout today, that it's okay to draw away from the maddening crowd. Jesus did; so can you.

People are far more important than rigid rules and demanding expectations.

If God's people are to be living examples of one thing, that thing ought to be - it must be - compassion.

Focus on your marriage. Because that's the nucleus of the home, whatever you do to restore its health and strength will naturally restore what's broken among the other relationships. If you have no children yet, this will make a comfortable nest for them to begin life well. If you have children, the changes you make in your marriage will affect the rest of the household more quickly and dramatically than you think.

Do you need strength? Peace? Wisdom? Direction? Discipline? Ask for it! God will hear you.
