True humility is absolute obedience and dependence on God. It puts Him first, others second, and ourselves third in all things.

The Spirit of God is jealous over us; He doesn't want superficial fellowship, but genuine intimacy.

If we don’t risk being hurt, we cannot give unconditional love. Unconditional love gives others the right to hurt us.

How can a good God appoint cruel people to positions of authority? The answer is simple: God is the originator of the authority, but He is not the author of the cruelty. Man is responsible for his cruel actions, not God. All authority is of God, but not all authority is godly.

The man or woman who doesn't forgive has forgotten the price that Christ paid for them on the Cross.

I say that trials and tests locate a person. In other words they determine where you are spiritually. They reveal the true condition of your heart. How you react under pressure is how the real you reacts.

Grace gives us the power to live, and mercy keeps us free from guilt, condemnation, and shame.
