If we are to be blessed, we must pursue the Giver of blessings.

Let us live not only to serve God ourselves; let us live to help our children and their children live for God.

The end of the rope stops in the palm of God.

Let us not take what we eat for granted; let us view our meals as an opportunity to give our Lord praise.

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 deeds will not cause God to love us more; our sins will not cause God to love us less.

There is no secret formula--only a life committed to a close walk with God.
