God does not want you to become a God; he wants you to become godly - taking on his values, attitudes, and character.

Patience puts up with those you'd like to put down

We get 80 years, maybe at the most 100. Trillions of years in eternity. This life is preparation for the next. This is the warm-up back, this is the dress rehearsal, this is the get ready, this is the first lap around the track before the real race begins because it is in eternity.

Humility is not denying your strengths, humility is being honest about your weaknesses.

Only the Holy Spirit has the power to make the changes God wants to make in our lives.... We allow Christ to live through us... through the choices we make. We choose to do the right thing in situations and then trust God's Spirit to give us his power, love, faith, and wisdom to do it. Since God's Spirit lives inside of us, these things are always available for asking.

You'll never do anything creative, innovative or world changing if you fear criticism. Pioneers are easy targets for arrows!

We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.
