It is God's will to bless us, but not necessarily on our terms. Sometimes what we think would be a wonderful blessing would not bless us at all.

We need a backbone, not a wishbone.

Is there any real purpose in being alive if all we are going to do is get up every day and live only for ourselves? Live your life to help others. Give & live selflessly.

I think a lot of people believe that they have to be poor to serve God, that they can't have anything. They don't really even know how to give. And one of the main principles in the Bible is you'll reap what you sew, and that if you give into the lives of others, that it shall be given back to you, good measure, pressed down and shaken together. If you go plant one tomato seed, you don't get back one tomato; you get a vine of tomatoes.

Don't try to change people. It won't work, and they will end up resenting you. Only God can change people!

You can enjoy anything if you make up your mind to.

When you pray be sure that you listen as well as talk. You have things you want to say to God but He also has things He wants to say to you.
