Service is the overflow which pours from a life filled with love and devotion.

God's purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase; He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.

If we were never depressed we would not be alive - only material things don't suffer depression. If human beings were not capable of depression, we would have no capacity for happiness and exaltation. Whenever you examine yourself, take into your capacity for depression.

If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him.
