We can get excited by thinking about what all we have or can have, OR we can get discouraged by thinking about what all we don't have.

Strive for excellence, not perfection, because we don't live in a perfect world.

The more you trust Jesus and keep your eyes focused on Him, the more life you'll have. Trusting God brings life. Believing brings rest. So stop trying to figure everything out, and let God be God in your life.

You can become so manipulated and controlled by what you think other people expect you to do that you literally live under the tyranny of other people's expectations. And what I call the shoulds and the oughts. I believe that hundreds of thousands of people miss their God-ordained destiny and they never really feel satisfied, content and fulfilled, because they're so busy trying to keep everybody else satisfied with them that they don't ever get around to doing what they really want to do.

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

Potential is a priceless treasure, like gold. All of us have gold hidden within, but we have to dig to get it out.

Patience is a fruit that only grows under trials.
