No matter how far we may wander from the Lord’s perfect will for our lives, we are always welcome back.

The person who has the motivational gift of giving has a tremendous opportunity to be a blessing to others in the body of Christ, to encourage others in the proper use of their finances, and to make the extension of the Gospel possible.

Regardless of the source of our pain, we must accept that God knows, God loves, and God is at work.

Jesus is our Advocate before God.

God takes full responsibility for the life wholly devoted to Him.

The Holy Spirit's power cannot be harnessed. His power cannot be used to accomplish anything other than the Father's will. He is not a candy dispenser. He is not a vending machine. He is not a genie waiting for someone to rub His lamp the right way. He is holy God.

Nobody else can make us discouraged; it is a choice that we alone make when facing disappointments.
