The past can be a rudder that guides you or an anchor tha hinders you. Leave your mistakes with God and look to the future by faith.

When we change the message of God, we change the God of the message.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
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.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
Nothing paralyzes our lives like the attitude that things can never change. We need to remind ourselves that God can change things. Outlook determines outcome. If we see only the problems, we will be defeated but if we see the possibilities in the problems, we can have victory.

Image
Your heart grows by giving out, but your mind grows by taking in and both are necessary to a happy and balanced life of service.

God is more interested in the workman than in the work.

Image
A good book is like a seed: it produces fruit that has in it seed for more fruit. It is not a picture on the wall it is a window that invies us to wider horizons.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
The ability to calm your soul and wait before God is one of the most difficult things in the Christian life. Our old nature is restless... the world around us is frantically in a hurry. But a restless heart usually leads to a reckless life.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
We have little control over the circumstances of life. We can't control the weather or the economy, and we can't control what other people say about or do to us. There is only one area where we have control--we can rule the kingdom inside. The heart of every problem is the problem in the heart.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
When it seems as if God is far away, remind yourself that He is near. Nearness is not a matter of geography. God is everywhere. Nearness is likeness. The more we become like the Lord, the nearer He is to us.

Image
Jonah saw God's will as punishment. Jesus saw God's will as nourishment.

Image
Opportunities energize the faithful and paralyze the fearful.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
Sometimes fear comes, not before the battle or even in the midst of the battle, but after we have won the victory.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
Don't waste your sufferings.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
He knows when we go into the storm, He watches over us in the storm, and He can bring us out of the storm when His purposes have been fulfilled.

Image
The Christian life is a pilgrimage from earth to heaven, and our task is to take as many as possible with us as we make this journey.

Image
After all, a crisis doesn't make a person it reveals what a person is made of.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
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.
