We are not filled with the Spirit of God to do easy things. He fills us with His Spirit so we can do impossible things.

I was afraid to let other make any decisions, because I had no confidence they would be concerned for me.

The source of our stress isn't really difficulties, circumstances and situations-it's our attitude and approach toward them.

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.

The biggest black eye that you can give the devil is to give God your pain and let Him turn it into gain.

Small beginnings are the launching pad to great endings.

Contentment with life is not a feeling, but it is a decision we must make. Contentment does not mean that we never want to see change or improvement, but it does mean we can be happy where we are and will do the best we can with what we have. It also means we will maintain an attitude that allows us to enjoy the gift of life.
