God's strength makes us strong; His comfort comforts us. With Him, we no longer run; we rest.

God repeatedly uses the least-likely and least-prepared individuals (ourselves included) to make the deepest impact on our world.

Don't settle for helping those who will help you in return or doing a good deed for others to see. Help others without expecting anything back. Even if nobody else cares, God will notice.

We often forget that calling for peace is the most courageous act we can take. It's easy to call for revenge, to claim injustice, and to launch an attack. It's much more difficult to forgive, to call for peace, to lay down weapons.

Our response to temptation reveals the substance of our faith.

Let us not see today's troubles as a reason to give up; let us see them as an opportunity for God to deliver.

When we realize the shortness of life, we begin to see the importance of making every moment count.
