Humility is not a character trait to develop, it's the natural by-product of being with Jesus.

Quit trying to do what I already know you can't do and let Christ do what only He can through you.

It's horrifying and absurd to think that there are currently more slaves on earth than at any other time in human history.

To us, waiting is wasting. To God waiting is working.

God has plans and purposes for each of our lives. But the beauty is that He doesn't call us and leave us on our own. Jesus actually lives in us to pull off the amazing things that He has invited us into.

But to mean it when I say that I want my life to count for His glory is to drive a stake through the heart of self - a painful and determined dying to me that must be a part of every day I live.

As long as I can remember, the compelling force behind my calling is a desire to know Jesus more and to make Him known. I believe I was created for a relationship with Jesus, so growing in my relationship with Him and worshiping Him with all my heart and life is preeminent.
