The secret of endurance is to remember that your pain is temporary but your reward will be eternal.

Stop listening for a voice and start looking for a verse. He's already spoken.

The race to be a leader is crowded, but the field is wide open for those willing to be servants

Leaders don't do what they WANT to do;they do whatever is necessary.

In the fall literally everything is broken. Nothing on this planet works. Every body is broken, none of our bodies works perfectly. Every relationship is broken. The weather is broken. I don't have a problem with hurricanes. Nothing works on this planet. This is not heaven, this is Earth and that is why we are to pray thy will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. Why? Because God's perfect will is done perfectly in heaven. So I am to pray that done here.

If not to God, you will surrender to the opinions or expectations of others, to money, to resentment, to fear, or to your own pride, lusts, or ego. You were designed to worship God and if you fail to worship Him, you will create other things (idols) to give your life to. You are free to choose, what you surrender to but you are not free from the consequence of that choice.

God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.
