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.

You won't step on other's toes if you imagine yourself in their shoes.

I love the verse in Job, where it says a man deserves the devotion of his friends even when he forsakes the Almighty. Now what that verse means to me is, even if I were to say, right now I don't believe in God. I still need you to be my friend, and say, I can believe God for you right now. I'm going to hold you up while you are ranting and railing, and God can handle my ranting and railing because He certainly handled David's and Job's and so many others.

There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.

Remember that your character is the sum total of your habits.

Paul says that as Christians we can rejoice even in tough times because we have hope and because we know that God is working in our lives.

I think a lot of times God takes away your feelings, so you have to depend on faith. And faith is kind of like a tide. It rolls in and rolls out.
