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

The bumps are what you climb on.

I will be satisfied to the extent that I see everything I have as a gift from God. Here is the truth: Everything you have – your money, talent, friendships, marriage, children, material possessions, health, home, bike, car, even the country you live in – is a gift from God that He had chosen out of His generous nature to give you.

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.

God doesn't always change the circumstances, but He can change us to meet the circumstances. That's what it means to live by faith.

Most Christians are being crucified on a cross between two thieves: Yesterday's regret and tomorrow's worries.
