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.

God made us and God is able to empower us to do whatever he calls us to do. Denying that we can accomplish God's work is not humility; it is the worst kind of pride.

The devil tempts us to bring out the worst in us, but the Father tests us to bring out the best in us.

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.

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.

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

Christ is more concerned about what we do with Him than for Him.
