Four Lessons on Life 1. Never take down a fence until you know why it was put up. 2. If you get too far ahead of the army, your soldiers may mistake you for the enemy. 3. Don't complain about the bottom rungs of the ladder they helped to get you higher. 4. If you want to enjoy the rainbow, be prepared to endure the storm.

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.

Christ is more concerned about what we do with Him than for Him.

I will be satisfied to the extent that I see everything I have as a gift from God. Here is the truth: Everything you have – your money, talent, friendships, marriage, children, material possessions, health, home, bike, car, even the country you live in – is a gift from God that He had chosen out of His generous nature to give you.

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.

People can't see your root system, but God can. Praying and meditating on the Word of God will cause your roots to go down deep into His love.

God doesn't bless us just to make us happy He blesses us to make us a blessing.

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.

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.

We do not understand and then obey: that is instruction. We obey by faith, and then we understand: that is illumination.

Real contentment must come from within. You and I can not change or control the world around us, but we can change and control the world within us.

God has ordained that His people live by promises and not by explanations.

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

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.
