When friends abandoned him, Paul asked God not to count their actions against them. He followed the example of Jesus, who prayed for the Father to forgive His persecutors. What's your response when friends let you down? Forgiveness is the choice that pleases God every time.

God has ways of shaking the world when He is at work. He literally caused the ground to quake when Jesus died on the cross.

The moment someone chooses to trust in Jesus Christ, his sins are wiped away, and he is adopted into God's family. That individual is set apart as a child of God, with a sacred purpose.

Success is the continuing achievement of becoming the person God wants you to be and accomplishing the goals God has helped you set.

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

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

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