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.

God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

Between this day and the next you will give your life to something. The decision on what that will be will shape your destiny.

That's the big difference between Christianity and other religions. The difference between Works and Grace or Do and Done.

Knowing you're a child of the creator of the universe changes everything.

It’s not about you. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

I have the greater glory of God, the history is His story, that He is in charge and ultimately He knows what He's doing.
