An anniversary says, "Think of the dreams you have weathered together. They are intimate accomplishments."

Allowing anger to seethe on the back burner will lead to a very large lid blowing off a very hot pot.

People who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.

Our great tendency in this age is to increase our speed, to run faster, even in the Christian life. In the process our walk with God stays shallow, and our tank runs low on fumes. Intimacy offers a full tank of fuel that can only be found by pulling up closer to God, which requires taking necessary time and going to the effort to make that happen.

Worry erases the promises of God from your mind.

Nothing is so common as unsuccessful men with talent. They lack only determination.

Vision is the ability to see God’s presence, to perceive God’s power, to focus on God’s plan in spite of the obstacles.
