People can't see your root system, but God can. Praying and meditating on the Word of God will cause your roots to go down deep into His love.

The school of suffering never graduates any students, so ask God to teach to you the lessons He wants you to learn.

If you look to others you will be distracted; if you look to yourselves you will be discouraged; but if you look to Christ you'll be delighted.

The ability to calm your soul and wait before God is one of the most difficult things in the Christian life. Our old nature is restless... the world around us is frantically in a hurry. But a restless heart usually leads to a reckless life.

When it seems as if God is far away, remind yourself that He is near. Nearness is not a matter of geography. God is everywhere. Nearness is likeness. The more we become like the Lord, the nearer He is to us.

If the only way I can make myself look good is to criticize you, something is seriously wrong with me.

Remember, your worth is founded in Jesus Christ.
