Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you.

We are reminded that anger doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything.

There is no finer way to demonstrate love of God than by serving Him in the positions to which we may be called. Occasionally, the reward for that service will be prompt, and we'll see the light in the eyes of the person whom we have helped. Other times, however, the Lord will let us wait a little while and let our reward come another way.

Self-discipline is a rigorous process at best; too many of us want it to be effortless and painless.

Loving service anonymously given may be unknown to man-but the gift and the giver are known to God.

If you want to give light to others you have to glow yourself.

May we muster courage at the crossroads, courage for the conflicts, courage to say, "no," courage to say, "yes," for courage counts.
