There is no danger of developing eyestrain from looking at the bright side of things.

What does God require of us? Our part is to believe. Our work is to trust the Lord. His requirement is that we let go and let God.

I think that one of the things that Christianity really needs, and the church really needs, is credibility. People need to be able to trust us and they need to believe we really want to help them and that it's not just, I'm-doing-this-for-me type thing.

We almost always see only what's wrong with other people and not what's wrong with us.

God doesn't do good things for us because we are good and we deserve them. He does good things for us because He is good and loves us.

When we complain about our current situation, we remain in it; when we praise God in the midst of difficulty, He raises us out of it.

As believers in Christ, we are part of Him-God the Father decided before the foundation of the world that anyone who loved Christ would be loved and accepted by Him.
