We must trust God with what we can't control.

Within seconds thoughts become words that slip off our tongue and into the world. Pausing before we speak may seem cumbersome, but it allows us to decide: Is this helpful? Does this need to be said now? What is the best way to say this?

If you need counsel, start with the One who is both Counselor and King - the One who is the source of both wisdom and power.

Do we approach God from a beggar's perspective or as His cherished child? If we have any difficulty seeing Him as our loving Father, we need to ask Him to help us develop a healthy Father/child relationship.

Jesus Himself stresses that only those who grant forgiveness will receive it.

Every time we deny ourselves in order to serve someone else, we grow in Christ.

Only by being both deity and humanity could Jesus Christ bridge the gap between where God is.
