When all’s said and done, it’s people, not things, that bring the most joy.

No one’s stuck anywhere unless they choose to be. The Lord God guides those who are moving forward.

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings.

I’m learning that it’s not what comes our way that matters so much as it is how we react.

God works in mysterious ways at times, so we will trust Him for the outcome. And always remember, His mercy holds us up when we reach the end of our own strength.

It made no sense, but then, life was rather senseless most of the time.

The power that brought Jesus Christ back from the grave is the same power that today can meet our every need – body, mind, and spirit.

Happiness isn’t wanting what you can get, but wanting what you have.

This is what reading is like to me. It’s finding a spring in the midst of a barren land. Just when I think I might up and die of thirst, I stumble onto this fresh, cold water, and I’m suddenly given this new life because I can-and do-drink to my heart’s content.

Yet it seems to me finishing well in this life is not so much about who is the best or greatest at something, but rather who embraces lowliness of heart. Laying down one’s rights- meekness- is a blessed virtue, one that must surely come straight from the Throne of Grace.
