Your soul is your mind, your will and your emotions. When the Word gets rooted in there and begins to change your mind, it begins to heal your emotions and turn your will away from self-will and onto doing the will of God.

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.

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.

Do what's right, first. Don't sit around and wait for someone else to do the right thing first.

When someone gives you offense, it doesn't mean you have to take it.

Perhaps we could enjoy ordinary, everyday life more if we learned to celebrate the ordinary.

When you feel down, go be a blessing to somebody else.
