Quote

When you and I hurt deeply, what we really need is not an explanation from God but a revelation of God. We need to see how great God is we need to recover our lost perspective on life. Things get out of proportion when we are suffering, and it takes a vision of something bigger than ourselves to get life's dimensions adjusted again

God made us and God is able to empower us to do whatever he calls us to do. Denying that we can accomplish God's work is not humility it is the worst kind of pride.

You do not move ahead by constantly looking in a rear view mirror. The past is a rudder to guide you, not an anchor to drag you. We must learn from the past but not live in the past.

We must never mistake the process for the result...there is suffering but this is only the process. God isn't going to stop with the process He wants to produce the final result. Suffering leads to glory shame leads to honor weakness leads to power. This is God's way of doing things.

The way we respond to criticism pretty much depends on the way we respond to praise. If praise humbles us, then criticism will build us up. But if praise inflates us, then criticism will crush us and both responses lead to our defeat.

Hypocrisy means deliberately pretending. None of us lives up to his ideals none of us is all that he would like to be or all that he could be in Christ. But that is not hypocrisy. Falling short of our ideals is not hypocrisy. Pretending we have reached our ideals when we have not - that is hypocrisy.
