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.

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.

If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm.

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

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

If you look to others you will be distracted; if you look to yourselves you will be discouraged; but if you look to Christ you'll be delighted.

Remember, your worth is founded in Jesus Christ.
