The Lord doesn't care at all if we spend our days working in marble halls or stable stalls. He knows where we are, no matter how humble our circumstances. He will use - in his own way and for his holy purposes - those who incline their hearts to Him.

The Apostle Paul in his letter to the Romans said that those who pass judgment on others are 'inexcusable.' The moment we judge someone else, he explained, we condemn ourselves, for none is without sin. Refusing to forgive is a grievous sin-one the Savior warned against.

No matter our distress, no matter our sorrow, no matter our mistakes, our infinitely compassionate Heavenly Father desires that we draw near to Him so that He can draw near to us.

The lessons we learn from patience will cultivate our character, lift our lives, and heighten our happiness.

Don’t get discouraged if you stumble at times. The first step to walking in righteousness is simply to try.

It is often in the trial of adversity that we learn those most critical lessons that form our character and shape our destiny.

Healing comes when we move away from the darkness and walk towards the light.
