Refusing to forgive is like ingesting a lethal dose of poison and hoping it kills my enemy.

The wonders of nature call to you. The promises and prophecies of Scripture speak to you. God himself reaches out to you.

Filter your pain through the brevity of this life and the unending beauty of the next.

Worry is anti-trust. If you're worried, you don't trust something: your kids, their friends, strangers, the church, even God. Can He take care of your children? Certainly. Jesus says, 'I tell you, stop being anxious and worried about your life.' Pretty blunt. Stop it! Easier said than done, huh? Worry tests your trust, so hand your children to God and let Him babysit your babies when you're not around. He's pretty good at it!

When grace happens, generosity happens. Unsquashable, eyepopping bigheartedness happens.

People are watching the way we act, more than they are listening to what we say.

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.
