Life's trials are not easy. But in God's will, each has a purpose. Often He uses them to enlarge you.

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

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.

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.

Remember, your worth is founded in Jesus Christ.

Jesus asked the Father for his disciples' security, sanctity and unity. Jesus still intercedes for us so fervently because we live in a world that is deceived, dangerous, defiled and divided.
