To me, thinking with the mind of Christ means to be thinking in light of eternity, which is what Colossians is all about; and that our lives are hid with Christ in God and that eternity, we're going to spend far more time on the other side of death than this side.

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.

Gods plan isn't a map for your life that you see all at once, but a scroll unrolled a little at a time.

Unconditional love will turn a loser into a winner. You have no idea how many times your heavenly Father has wanted to reach out and grasp you in his arms when you felt like you blew it!

When you feel nothing, God is teaching you to live by faith.

Growing marriages aren't determined by how much you have in common but by how graciously you deal with your differences.

Don't waste your pain; use it to help others.
