God doesn't always change the circumstances, but He can change us to meet the circumstances. That's what it means to live by faith.

It is a remarkable thing that some of the most optimistic and enthusiastic people you will meet are those who have been through intense suffering.

The past can be a rudder that guides you or an anchor tha hinders you. Leave your mistakes with God and look to the future by faith.

Meekness is power under control.

The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out.

We must never mistake the process for the result...there is suffering; but this is only the process. God isn't going to stop with the process; He wants to produce the final result. Suffering leads to glory; shame leads to honor; weakness leads to power. This is God's way of doing things.

Do you need help today? Lift up your hands to the Lord in supplication and in expectation, and soon you will lift up your hands in jubilation and celebration.
