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

Real contentment must come from within. You and I can not change or control the world around us, but we can change and control the world within us.

The most miserable prison in the world is the prison we make for ourselves when we refuse to show mercy.

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.

Faithfulness in the small things will lead to blessing in the big things.

If we see only the problems, we will be defeated; but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory.

If you are going to live by faith, then expect your faith to be tested. A faith that can't be tested can't be trusted.
