It's easy to talk about how much you love God, but loving others reveals how much you truly do.

Perseverance is not a passive submission to circumstances-it is a strong and active response to the difficult events of life.

When we hold our thoughts up against God's standards of what is true and what is real, we can recognize and, with His help, learn to release many of our negative emotions, damaging thoughts, and destructive attitudes.

One did not alter lives and simply walk away from the damage.

The soul of a child is the loveliest flower that grows in the garden of God.

If your home is a ministry, shouldn't that ministry become a passion? Shouldn't your feelings and emotions be involved when it comes to the people and place you love? And shouldn't your work be done passionately? Your labors should be labors of love!

What a blessing to be able to leave the cares of life for a brief period and spend time in the outstretched arms of your Shepherd, rubbing, as it were, your cheek against His face in intimate fellowship through prayer.
