You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.
Charles R. Swindoll
Your call will become clear as as your mind is transformed by the reading of Scripture and the internal work of God's Spirit. The Lord never hides His will from us. In time, as you obey the call first to follow, your destiny will unfold before you. The difficulty will lie in keeping other concerns from diverting your attention.

When it seems like that's all there is, remember all you have in Him.
Charles R. Swindoll
When God is involved, anything can happen. Be open. Stay that way. God has a beautiful way of bringing good vibrations out of broken chords.
Charles R. Swindoll
God alone is perfectly and consistently just. We forget God remembers. We see an action God sees a motive. This qualifies Him as the best recordkeeper and judge.

Vision encompasses vast vistas outside the realm of the predictable, the safe, the expected.
Charles R. Swindoll
One essential ingredient for being an original in the day of copies is courageous vision.

For there to be true maturity, people must be given room to grow, which includes room to fail.

While I was raised around churches and had gotten to know a few preachers fairly well, the thought never entered my head that I would one day stand and deliver. Not only was I not interested, I lived with a major struggle: I stuttered.
