Perfect joy lies in selflessly striving for the best outcome, and then humbly accepting whatever God gives.

Think of God not as a word, or a stranger, or as someone on high, waiting to judge and punish you. Think of Him as you would want to be thought of if you were God.

Perfect joy lies in selflessly striving for the best outcome, and then humbly accepting whatever God gives.

If we were in tune and communing with God every moment, where would be the need to pray or ask for anything?

He knows what He is doing with me. I cannot always understand His way, but I am content in the realization that He knows what is best. That is surrender.

There is absolutely nothing we can ever do that will cause God to forsake us. He will never turn away from us.

Spirituality lies not in the power to heal others, to perform miracles, or to astound the world with our wisdom, but in the ability to endure with right attitude whatever crosses we have to face in our daily lives, and thus to rise above them.
