Gratitude develops faith. The surest path out of a slump is marked by the road sign "thank you, God."

How we handle our tough times stays with us for a long time.

To accept grace is to admit failure, a step we are hesitant to take. We opt to impress God with how good we are rather than confessing how great he is.

I try to help people see that God uses pain, that pain is one of the ways God shapes us into the kind of beings He wants us to be for eternity.

God is kind, but he is not soft. He takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into a radical life change.

Honesty and vulnerability endear us to people; they don't endanger us in our relationship.

Since you know God understands, you can boldly go to him.
