No matter whose fault, God sends us through storms so we can land in a place we never would have otherwise.
A prisoner unaware is the kind of prisoner most vulnerable to her captors, the easiest prey there is.
As a mother you are only as happy as your saddest child.
There is not a single darkness if you life that God cannot bring His light upon.
Ministry to an individual is as mighty an act of God as is ministry to the masses.
I believe that children are, by nature, very forgiving. I don’t think children expect their parents to be perfect. I think they demand that their parents be real.
When we don’t take God too seriously, others don’t take our leadership too seriously!
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.
Nothing will kill what you’ve been called to do more than comparing yourself to someone else.
Humility takes a supply of supernatural strength that comes only to those strong enough to admit weakness.
My very addictive personality and all sorts of strongholds are a thing of the past for me. Yet at the root of every single one of those issues was insecurity, something I had battled since childhood.
God is always better than he has to be. You can count on that.
Insecurity is miserable. That’s the bottom line. We don’t need it. We don’t want it. And we really can live without it. So what would happen if we quite being accomplices in our own misery?
The question is whether or not our insecurities are substantial enough to hurt, limit, or even distract us from profound effectiveness or fulfillment of purpose.
Setbacks, on the other hand, just make us feel weak and stupid: I should have conquered this by now. I happened on a question not long ago that oerfectly expresses this mentality: How many times must I prove myself an idiot?
Men are not our problem; it’s what we are trying to get from them that messes us up. We use guys like mirrors to see if we’re valuable.
Insecurity’s best cover is perfectionism. That’s where it becomes an art form.
Wisdom is knowledge applied. Head knowledge is useless on the battlefield. Knowledge stamped on the heartmmakes one wise.
Every inch of ground we refuse to take with God, we surrender to the enemy.
Better to admit where you’re not and ask God’s help to get you where you need to be.
