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.

Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.

The key is really just saying my brain isn't big enough to figure out why everything happens. It would be like an ant trying to understand the internet.

If you talked to others the way you talk to yourself, would you have any friends?

God uses everything for good in our lives.

Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.

There is no growth if there is no change. There is no change if there is no loss. There is no loss if there is no pain.
