Never let an impossible situation intimidate you. Let it motivate you - to pray more, trust more, expect more.
You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.
A pretentious, showy life is an empty life; a plain and simple life is a full life.
If your activities don't match your priorities, you are wasting your life.
Nothing works perfectly. The weather doesn't work perfectly. Because of sin in the world, nothing works perfectly. But in spite of that we can find comfort. We can find strength.
The purpose of your life fits into a much larger, cosmic purpose that God has designed for eternity.
