When we end up in a situation where we have been rejected, there is an acceptance in Christ of a new place He is going to take us. It is like nothing we have ever experienced. You are accepted in Christ, never rejected by Him.

When we live to the glory of God, we show His goodness living through us instead of just ourselves.

The giant step in the walk of faith is the one we take when we decide God no longer is a part of our lives. He IS our life.

If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we’ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.

If you are not royalty, He is not King.

The Son of Man has authority over whatever has you paralyzed. Get up and walk.

I don't know how, but I know Who

Don't assume that God will always work in your life the way He always has. A sunset is proof that God colors outside the lines. He has no status quo. Even the laws of nature are His to interrupt. As many times as you've prayed before, today may be the day when God sends the answer so swiftly-so divinely-that you're windburned.

Every single thing you've been through in your life has had a purpose.

God is not harsh; He is holy. He is not selfish; He is sovereign. He is not unfeeling; He is all-knowing. Like David, we need to come to know Him, and respect Him; and, like David, we will love Him more.
