The mind grows by taking in, but the heart grows by giving out.

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.
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.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
If you take care of yourself and walk with integrity, you may be confident that God will deal with those who sin against you. Above all, don't give birth to sin yourself, rather, pray for those who persecute you. God will one day turn your persecution into praise.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
It is futile for us to try to serve God without the power of the Holy Spirit. Talent, training, and experience cannot take the place of the power of the Spirit.
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.

The greatest judgment God can send on His people is letting them have their own way.

Those times when you feel like quitting can be times of great opportunity, for God uses your troubles to help you grow.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
The most miserable prison in the world is the prison we make for ourselves when we refuse to show mercy. Our thoughts become shackled, our emotions are chained, the will is almost paralyzed. But when we show mercy, all of these bonds are broken, and we enter into a joyful liberty that frees us to share God's love with others.

Material wealth is either a window through which we see God or a mirror in which we see ourselves.
