Remember, then, that the real thing in your experience is what your will decides, and not the verdict of your emotions; and that you are far more in danger of hypocrisy and untruth in yielding to the assertions of your feelings, than in holding fast to the decision of your will. So that, if your will is on God's side, you are no hypocrite at this moment in claiming as your own the blessed reality of belonging altogether to Him, even though your emotions may all declare the contrary.

Perfect obedience would be perfect happiness, if only we had perfect confidence in the power we were obeying.

When we can't piece together the puzzle of our own lives, remember the best view of a puzzle is from above. Let Him help put you together.

To make knowledge productive, we will have to learn to see both forest and tree. We will have to learn to connect.

The Lorax: Which way does a tree fall? The Once-ler: Uh, down? The Lorax: A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean.

Basically, there are two paths you can walk: faith or fear. It's impossible to simultaneously trust God and not trust God.

If you trust, you will be disappointed occasionally, but if you mistrust, you will be miserable all the time.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

Don't get older; get better: Live realistically. Give generously. Adapt willingly. Trust fearlessly. Rejoice daily.

Learn to commit every situation to God, and trust Him for the outcome. God's love for you never changes, no matter what problems you face or how unsettled life becomes.

Beware of despairing about yourself: you are commanded to put your trust in God, and not in yourself.

Regret not that which is past; and trust not to thine own righteousness.
