Scripture teaches us that we should trust God and not lean on our own wisdom or understanding. To do this, we have to strive to know God intimately, walking by faith and not by sight. This may not be easy at first, but it starts with simple obedience.

Respect is EARNED but honor is GIVEN.

If you want what NORMAL people have, do what normal people DO. If you want what FEW people have, do what few people DO.

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

You see, religion alone can only take a person so far. Religion can make us nice, but only Christ can make us new. Religion focuses on outward behavior. Relationship is an inward transformation. Religion focuses on what I do, while relationship centers on what Jesus did. Religion is about me. Relationship is about Jesus

God will often give you more than you can handle so you can learn to depend on Him rather than on yourself.

The truth: you have what you need. Watch out for excuses. Whenever you're tempted to whine about what you don't have, remember that God has given you everything you need to do everything He wants you to do.
