Difficulties come into our lives to develop us. Every storm is a school. Every trial is a teacher. Every experience is an education.

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

Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Pray. Trust God. Enjoy life. Don't let the little things get you down.

The strength of your faith is not measured by the absence of doubt, but by the faithfulness of your life in the face of doubt.

If you want your dreams to come true, don't oversleep.

Be thankful for every day. Learn from mistakes. Don't dwell on regrets. Forgive with love. Gain strength from every struggle.

I was an atheist and I came to experience a relationship with God which had a radically transforming effect on my life, on my relationships, on every aspect of my life, for the better. So, obviously I hope other people will experience that.
