To learn patience is not to rebel against every hardship.

Ministry in no way is a privilege...it is the core of the Christian life. No Christian is a Christian without being a minister.

Real greatness is often hidden, humble, simple, and unobtrusive. It is not easy to trust ourselves and our actions without public affirmation. We must have strong self-confidence combined with deep humility.

To learn patience is not to rebel against every hardship.

When we learn to move through suffering, rather than avoid it, then we greet it differently. We become willing to let it teach us. We even begin to see how God can use it for some larger end.

You don't have to run around world proving you're lovable.

Joy is the experience of knowing that you are unconditionally loved.
