Stay strong! Your test will become your test-imony, your mess will become your mess-age.

When you recognize God as Creator, you will admire Him. When you recognize His wisdom, you will learn from Him. When you discover His strength, you will rely on Him. But only when He saves you will you worship Him.

---

There is a difference between grace and mercy. Mercy is the decision of God not to punish us. But grace is the decision of God to save and bless us.

---

You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you. If you have the Shepherd, you have grace for every sin, direction for every turn, a candle for every corner and an anchor for every storm. You have everything you need.

God gives us people to love and things to use, not things to love and people to use.

God never said that the journey would be easy, but He did say that the arrival would be worthwhile.

---

God loves you just the way you are, but he refuses to leave you that way.

---

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

The presence of fear does not mean you have no faith. Fear visits everyone. But make your fear a visitor and not a resident.

Your goal is not to know every detail of the future. Your goal is to hold the hand of the One who does and never, ever let go.
