God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

Doing the easy thing makes you popular. Doing the hard thing makes you a leader.

You are loved by the One who knows you best. God's love will never disappoint you and never give up on you.

The only way you can serve God is by serving other people.

If you try to serve people, it impresses them. If you try to impress people it irritates them.

We are all called to fulfill God's five purposes for our lives: to worship, to fellowship, to grow like Christ, to serve, and to be on mission with God in the world.

The first purpose of your life is to be loved by God! Yes, it is important to serve him, obey, and trust him, but your first purpose is to love him.
