When the Lord commands that we must forgive all men, that includes forgiving ourselves.

We don’t discover humility by thinking less of ourselves; we discover humility by thinking less about ourselves.

Being a disciple of Jesus Christ is not an effort of once a week or once a day. It is an effort of once and for all.

Often the deep valleys of our PRESENT will be UNDERSTOOD only by LOOKING BACK on them from the mountains of our FUTURE experience. Often we can’t see the LORD’S HAND in our lives until long after the trials have passed. Often the most difficult times of our lives are ESSENTIAL building blocks that form the FOUNDATION of our CHARACTER and pave the way to FUTURE opportunity, understanding, and happiness.

As we lose ourselves in the service of others, we discover our own lives and our own happiness.

Let us simplify our lives a little, let us make the changes necessary to focus on the simple, humble path of Christian discipleship.

Patience is a purifying process that refines understanding, deepens happiness, focuses action, and offers hope for peace.
