. . . you have no idea how many people there are in the world whose day could be made and their life changed for the better if someone would just look them in the eye, smile, and say, "Hello.

Don’t be afraid when you have to pray fervently because of your circumstances. God is wanting to do something great through you!

There are so many things we do not appreciate in our life until we recognize God's love for us in them.

It's not about finding ways to avoid God's judgment and feeling like a failure if you don't do everything perfectly. It's about fully experiencing God's love and letting it perfect you. It's not about being somebody you are not. It's about becoming who you really are.

In times of weakness, choose to put yourself under God's control.

You know how it feels when you're in love with somebody and you long to be with that person? God wants us to feel that way about Him.

The most important thing we can pray about for others is that they will know God better and that He will help them understand His will, grow in spiritual wisdom, and live lives that honor Him. We can pray that they will become more like Him and bear the fruit of His Spirit.
