I have found on Alpha that those from an essentially enlightened background feel at home with the parts of the course which appeal to the mind, but often have difficulty in experiencing the Holy Spirit. Others coming from the New Age movement find that rational and historical explanations leave them cold, but at the weekend away they are on more familiar territory in experiencing the Holy Spirit

Appreciate those who love you. Serve those who need you. Forgive those who hurt you. Thank those who help you.

If the grass looks greener on the other side, it is probably astroturf.

Don't undervalue yourself. God loves you. Your worth is what you are worth to God. Jesus died for you. You are of infinite value.

You reveal your own character most clearly when you describe someone else's.

Sometimes God calms the storm. Sometimes He lets the storm rage and He calms you

Just because something isn't happening for you right now, doesn't mean it won't happen. God's timing is perfect.
