Patient endurance permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord and our faith in His timing when we are being tossed about by the surf of circumstance. Even when a seeming undertow grasps us, somehow, in the tumbling, we are being carried forward, though battered and bruised.

We may never become accustomed to untrue and unjust criticism of us but we ought not to be immobilized by it.

Eventually, there will not be enough prisons if there are not enough good homes.

When in situations of stress we wonder if there is any more in us to give, we can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed

How good you and I get at repenting will determine how good life is.

We can be walking witnesses and standing sermons to which objective onlookers can say a quiet amen.

Though we live in a failing world, we have not been sent here to fail.
