The discerning realize that it is not realistic to expect perfection in others when none of us is perfect...Meaningful progress can be made only when all of us can cast the motes out of our own eyes, leave judgment to our Father in Heaven, and lose ourselves in righteous living.

Still, small heavenly voices penetrate the heart with their gentle, convincing declarations… Most often, hope, encouragement, and direction come from a soft, piercing voice. Small voices are heard only by those who are willing to listen.

Often our self-esteem is bruised by criticism.

Peace is a blessing that comes to those who trust in God. It is established through individual righteousness. True personal peace comes about through eternal vigilance and constant righteous efforts.

Adversity will surface in every life. How we meet it makes the difference.

Being of good cheer makes it possible for us to turn all of our sunsets into sunrises.

The best and most clear indicator that we are progressing spiritually and coming unto Christ is the way we treat other people.
