The Lord delights to surprise us with His goodness, if only we will unlock the door of obedience with the key of faith - which He has given - and then push it open and walk through.

If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings.

On tough days, you gotta have heart. Don't quit, whatever you do. Persevere.

Worry is characteristic of the heathen, not the Christian.

Hope doesn't require a massive chain where heavy links of logic hold it together. A thin wire will do...just strong enough to get us through the night until the winds die down.

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun.

If I had my life to live over, I'd have spent more hours in worship.
