The most miserable prison in the world is the prison we make for ourselves when we refuse to show mercy. Our thoughts become shackled, our emotions are chained, the will is almost paralyzed. But when we show mercy, all of these bonds are broken, and we enter into a joyful liberty that frees us to share God's love with others.

When God wants to accomplish something, He calls dedicated men and women to challenge His people and lead the way

Life's trials are not easy. But in God's will, each has a purpose. Often He uses them to enlarge you.

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.

The Christian life is a pilgrimage from earth to heaven, and our task is to take as many as possible with us as we make this journey.

No matter how much you may change or how life may change, God never changes, and His promises never fail.

We have little control over the circumstances of life. We can't control the weather or the economy, and we can't control what other people say about or do to us. There is only one area where we have control--we can rule the kingdom inside. The heart of every problem is the problem in the heart.
