Faith means being sure of what we hope for now. It means knowing something is real, this moment, all around you, even when you don't see it.

Faith isn't the ability to believe long and far into the misty future. It's simply taking God at His Word and taking the next step.

Each one of us is God's special work of art. Through us, He teaches and inspires, delights and encourages, informs and uplifts all those who view our lives.

Take those road hazards- the potholes, ruts, detours, and all the rest- as evidence that you were on the right route. It's when you find yourself on that big, broad, easy road that you ought to worry.

Even in my despair, I knew in a vague way that the Bible held hope for me in its pages. I just didn't know where to begin.

What an encouragement to realize that God has reserved you and me for a special task in His great work. In His hands we're not only useful, but priceless.

Perspective is everything when you are experiencing the challenges of life.
