God has loved you since before you were born-so much so that 2,000 years ago, He sent His Son Jesus to die in your place.

Believing you can achieve a goal is vital to reaching a goal.

God wants us to seek Him more than anything else, even more than we seek answers to prayer. When we come to God in prayer, sometimes our hearts are so full of what we want that we leave God out. Our minds become consumed with the gift rather than the giver.

Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God's most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.

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

The amount of time we spend with Jesus - meditating on His Word and His majesty, seeking His face - establishes our fruitfulness in the kingdom.

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