"God can use you to help win the lost." "God has a purpose for trials and testings." "Let the trials of life make you a giant, not a midget." "People can't see your root system, but God can." "The world's corruption is a result of its defiance." "Some of your greatest blessings come with patience." "Remember, your worth is founded in Jesus Christ." "Pressure on the outside should make us bigger on the inside." "When a Christian shows mercy, he experiences liberation." "Yes, let God be the Judge. Your job today is to be a witness." "The world changes - circumstances change, we change - but God's Word never changes" "Life's trials are not easy. But in God's will, each has a purpose. Often He uses them to enlarge you." "It is good to remind ourselves that the will of God comes from the heart of God and that we need not be afraid." "Opposition is not only evidence that God is blessing, but it is also an opportunity for us to grow." "Most Christians are being crucified on a cross between two thieves: Yesterday's regret and tomorrow's worries." "We may not be able to prevent other people from being our enemies, but we can prevent ourselves from being enemies toward others." "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." "Let God enlarge you when you are going through distress. He can do it. You can't do it, and others can't do it for you." "The most miserable prison in the world is the prison we make for ourselves when we refuse to show mercy." "The safest place in all the world is in the will of God, and the safest protection in all the world is the name of God." "Those times when you feel like quitting can be times of great opportunity, for God uses your troubles to help you grow." "In contrast to the believer, the ungodly are not like trees but are like chaff. They have no roots, produce no fruit and are blown about." "The remedy for discouragement is the Word of God. When you feed your heart and mind with its truth, you regain your perspective and find renewed strength." "Has someone wronged you recently? Resist the urge to judge that person. Instead, pray that God might use you to reach the offender." "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." "Nothing paralyzes our lives like the attitude that things can never change. We need to remind ourselves that God can change things...outlook determines outcome. If we see only the problems, we will be defeated; but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory." "If you take care of yourself and walk with integrity, you may be confident that God will deal with those who sin against you. Above all, don't give birth to sin yourself; rather, pray for those who persecute you. God will one day turn your persecution into praise." "The way we respond to criticism pretty much depends on the way we respond to praise. If praise humbles us, then criticism will build us up. But if praise inflates us, then criticism will crush us; and both responses lead to our defeat." "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."
