Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life.

What you BECOME on earth matters far more than what you DO. You're taking your character to heaven, not your career.

How does God teach me love? By putting me around unlovely people. How does God teach me joy in the middle of grief? Not happiness, which is based on happenings. How does God teach me peace? Not when I am out fishing and everything is going my way and it doesn't get better than this. But in the middle of chaos. How does God teach me patience? By putting me in His waiting room.

As long as you pretend to be self-sufficient, you short-circuit God's power in your life. You need to admit your inadequacy and say, "God, I can't handle this!"

You are most like Christ, when you remain silent under attack.

Jesus is knocking at your door. Take hold of the better life by letting him into your life. Make him the boss of your life. It'll change everything.

The Bible tells us that there are some things worth fighting for. In fact, the Bible says there's some things worth dying for.
