We all have life-defining moments. They are like open-book tests, but we don't know we have been examined until it is over.

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

Simply put, the promises of God are not automatic; they must be acquired by faith.

Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Do not be afraid to allow the Holy Spirit to reveal any unforgiveness or bitterness. The longer you hide it, the stronger it will become and the harder your heart will grow. Stay tenderhearted.

We don't honor just to get a reward; we honor because it is the heart of God, and it is our delight.

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