God never leaves us alone, never leaves us unaided in the challenges that we face.

I ask for a stonger and more devoted voice... a voice for good, a voice for the gospel, a voice for God.

Patiently enduring some things is part of our mortal education.

If you try your best to be the best parent you can be, you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do.

What we are shines more brightly than anything we say or do. If we are to fill the world with light, we must first face any tattered remnant of darkness that remains in our own souls.

I suppose it goes without saying that negative speaking so often flows from negative thinking about ourselves. We see our own faults, we speak--or at least think--critically of ourselves, and before long that is how we see everyone and everything. No sunshine, no roses, no promise of hope or happiness. Before long we and everybody around us are miserable.

God seeks for your individual happiness above all other godly concerns.
