The clearer your vision becomes, the easier it is to guard what God calls you to do.

The difference between where you are and where God wants you to be is equal to the pain you're willing to endure.

When we generally make healthy choices about food (or wise choices about life), we tend to move in the right direction, living as we believe God wants us to live. If we make an intentional exception for a special treat or for a diversion, that might not be a big deal. But if we step off the best path, we're tempted to detour into more unwise choices. In that case, your decision does matter.

God could have programmed us as robots to do whatever he tells us, but then we'd never have the freedom to love and worship him.

To be great at a few things and experience it, you'll have to say no to many things.

Failure is an event, not a person. You are NOT a failure!

As we're growing closer to God, I ask people to decide when God wants them to stay planted exactly where they are.
