When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is; we need to recover our lost perspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life's dimensions adjusted again

The secret of a happy life is to delight in duty. When duty becomes delight, then burdens become blessings

The world changes - circumstances change, we change - but God's Word never changes

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.

A realist is an idealist who has gone through the fire and been purified. A skeptic is an idealist who has gone through the fire and been burned.

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.

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.
