Do what you don’t want to do to get what you want to get.

You will never see the end, if you give up in the middle

Here’s one of my favorite statements: We are never going to enjoy stability, we are never going to enjoy spiritual maturity until we learn how to do what’s right when it feels wrong, and every time you do what’s right by a decision of your will using discipline and self control to go beyond how you feel, the more painful it is in your flesh, the more you’re growing spiritually at that particular moment.

Character is doing what you don't want to do but know you should do.

Put your expectations on God, not on people.

Learn how to enjoy where you are on the way to where you're going.

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.
