Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test... You will be tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, and even senseless tragedies.

Will we fulfill God's purpose, or will we shrink back and live a comfortable, self-centered life?

Worry is a waste of energy. It cant change the past. It cant control the future. It only makes today miserable

Your commitments can develop you or destroy you, but either way, they will define you.

There's nothing in your life you can't learn from, if you respond with the right attitude.

It’s not about you. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

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