Whatever brings you to your knees in weakness carries the greatest potential for your personal success and spiritual victory.

As children of a sovereign God, we are never victims of our circumstances.

You must never sacrifice your relationship with God for the sake of a relationship with another person.

No one enjoys feeling weak, whether it is emotionally, spiritually or physically. There is something within the human spirit that wants to resist the thought of weakness. Many times this is nothing more than our human pride at work. Just as weakness carries a great potential for strength, pride carries an equally great potential for defeat.

You may have the gift of giving.

Renewing the mind is a little like refinishing furniture. It is a two-stage process. It involves taking off the old and replacing it with the new. The old is the lies you have learned to tell or were taught by those around you; it is the attitudes and ideas that have become a part of your thinking but do not reflect reality. The new is the truth. To renew your mind is to involve yourself in the process of allowing God to bring to the surface the lies you have mistakenly accepted and replace them with truth. To the degree that you do this, your behavior will be transformed.

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