Average is very acceptable in our society but I don't think the angels are applauding. If you are determined to be excellent, to not back out of it, you will reap a harvest in your life.

Everybody wants to be loved. God already loves you; all you have to do is believe and accept it.

Trusting Him to work out your circumstances instead of using your own might and power will bring deep satisfying joy into your life.

Is all anger sin? No, but some of it is. Even God Himself has righteous anger against sin, injustice, rebellion and pettiness.

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

We must meditate on what God has done in our life instead of what we are still waiting on Him to do.

We must remember we are stewards of what God has provided for us, not owners.
