God owes me nothing. He doesn't have to work for anything good in my life. That is only for those who are called according to His purpose.

God's ultimate goal for your life on earth is not comfort, but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.

The purpose of influence is to "speak up for those who have no influence." (Pr.31:8) It's not about you.

Don't' call it a failure, call it an education. Some of us are very educated.

If an organ is somehow severed from its body, it will shrivel and die. It cannot exist on its own, and neither can you. Disconnected and cut off from the lifeblood of a local body, your spiritual life will wither and eventually cease to exist.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD Difficult moments, SEEK GOD Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD Painful moments, TRUST GOD Every moment, THANK GOD
