In times of defeat, we never know how close we are to victory. In every event of failure, God has planted a seed of success.

God is responsible for the consequences of our obedience, WE are responsible for the consequences of our disobedience

The reason so many of us struggle so intensely with adversity is that we have yet to adopt God's perspective and priorities.

Think about the comfortable feeling you have as you open your front door. That's but a hint of what we'll feel some day on arriving at the place our Father has lovingly and personally prepared for us in heaven. We will finally - and permanently - be 'at home' in a way that defies description.

Trusting God means looking beyond what we can see to what God sees.

If you put your faith in yourself and your abilities, intellect and dreams, then your foundation is only as strong as you are.

Each of us will eventually give away all our earthly possessions. How we choose to do so, however, is a reflection of our commitment to the kingdom of God.
