Part of the thrill of guiding children into adulthood is the release. But it's also a parent's greatest act of surrender. Still, you have to let them go. Start now.

The beautiful thing about encouragement is that anybody can do it.

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

I don't see life divided into public and private, secular and sacred. It's all an open place of service before our God.

If our perfect Lord is gracious enough to take our worst, and ugliest, our most boring, our least successful, and forgive them, burying them in the depths of the sea, then it's high time we give each other a break.

When we arrive at dilemmas in life and we are unable to decipher the right direction to go, if we hope to maintain our confidence in the process, we must (repeat must) allow the Lord to be our Guide, our Strength, our Wisdom - our all!

When we have God in clear focus, His powerful presence eclipses our fear.
