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.

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.

What the majority calls blessing may actually be a judgment from God.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
Daniel gave all the glory to God he took none of it for himself. There is no limit to what God will do for the believer who will let God have all the glory.

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.

Some of your greatest blessings come with patience.
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
God doesn't always change the circumstances, but He can change us to meet the circumstances. That's what it means to live by faith.
Warren W. Wiersbe
Image
The Christian who walks with the Lord and keeps constant communion with Him will see many reason for rejoicing and thanksgiving all day long.
