Learning to love unselfishly is not an easy task. It runs counter to our self-centered nature.

Read the genealogy of Jesus, and you have to see how the four women in that genealogy God used their sins for His glory.

God has a purpose behind every problem.

Many people spend their lives trying to create a lasting legacy on earth. They want to be remembered when they're gone. Yet, what ultimately matters most will not be what others say about your life but what God says.

Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.

Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.
