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.

Love like there's no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.

---

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

---

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.

---

No one can pray and worry at the same time. When we worry, we aren't praying. When we pray, we aren't worrying.

---

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

---

Gratitude lifts our eyes off the things we lack so we might see the blessings we possess.

---

If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.

---

Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference.

---

Faith is the conviction that God knows more than we do about this life and He will get us through it.
