It is easy to make excuses when we ought to be making opportunities.

Meekness is power under control.

It is futile for us to try to serve God without the power of the Holy Spirit. Talent, training, and experience cannot take the place of the power of the Spirit.

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

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

The bumps are what you climb on.

The school of suffering never graduates any students, so ask God to teach to you the lessons He wants you to learn.
