Your rewards in life are in direct proportion to your service

Our rewards in life will always be in direct ratio to our service.

Perseverance is not a passive submission to circumstances-it is a strong and active response to the difficult events of life.

No one gets out of the game of life alive. You either die in the bleachers, or on the field. So, you might as well play out on the field, and go for it.

Nothing of great value in this life comes easily.

Nothing in life that's worth anything is easy.

Take advantage of each small success. In this way you close the gap between what you want from life and what it is giving you.

One of the simplest things about all facts of life is that to get where you want to go, you must keep on keeping on.

Over time, grit is what separates fruitful lives from aimlessness.

I will not waste my life! I will finish my course and finish it well. I will display the Gospel of the grace of God in all I do. I will run my race to the end." - Paul

It is while you are patiently toiling at the little tasks of life that the meaning and shape of the great whole of life dawn on you.

The hardest part of faith is often simply to wait. And the trouble is, if we don't, then we start to fix the problem ourselves - and that makes it worse. We complicate the situation to the point where it takes God much longer to fix it than if we had quietly waited for his working in the first place.
