sometimes we do not realize how much we have to be grateful for until it is threatened.

What matters is not the accomplishments you achieve; what matters is the person you become.

It only makes sense to ask God for guidance in the context of a life committed to "seeking first the kingdom."

I don't have a problem with delegation. I love to delegate. I am either lazy enough, or busy enough, or trusting enough, or congenial enough, that the notion leaving tasks in someone else's lap doesn't just sound wise to me, it sounds attractive.

Wise people build their lives around what is eternal and squeeze in what is temporary. Not the other way around.

People who are servants-humbly, honestly, and joyfully-keep getting revealed as the biggest winners. People who recognize and embrace their smallness keep getting bigger and bigger in God's eyes. It's the oddest scoring system.

The greatest moment of your life is now. This moment is God's irreplaceable gift to you.
