There's nothing in your life you can't learn from, if you respond with the right attitude.

You also know you’re surrendered when you don’t react to criticism and rush to defend yourself. Surrendered hearts show up best in relationships. You don’t edge others out, you don’t demand your rights, and you aren’t self-serving when you’re surrendered.

When you feel abandoned by God yet continue to trust him in spite of your feelings, you worship him in the deepest way.

I do not believe God is responsible for my sins, some people may. But I believe that my own weaknesses are father-filtered and just as much as God touched Jacob's hip and he walked with a limb the rest of his life, that I have certain emotional weaknesses that are there to keep me dependent on God.

Love leaves legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.

Patience is a form of faith. It says, "I trust God. I believe that God is bigger than this problem."

We always get into trouble when we doubt God's love, because when we don't trust him, we don't obey him.
