In the seasons of the year, in romantic relationships, and in our walks with God, the beauty of spring doesn't come without the dormancy of winter. If we develop greater trust when it's cold and dark, we'll experience more love in the warmth of spring.

We wait expectantly, trusting that a good, wise, all-knowing God will accomplish His gracious purposes in His good time. We trust that while we wait He's preparing the situation, other people, or us for something special.

We rivet our hearts on God's character, and we are sure that waiting on Him to act will be worth every second.

Patience becomes a reality in us because we cling to God during times when we long for quick, complete solutions to our problems.

The truth. I don't even know what that is anymore. Be patient. Pray about it, and listen to God. He'll help you figure it out.

You pray for rain, you gotta deal with the mud too. That's a part of it.

The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don't have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven't had that fear.

Courage is essential to leadership.

Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are.

Life is an adventure, dare it.

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.

When I cannot understand my Father's leading, And it seems to be but hard and cruel fate, Still I hear that gentle whisper ever pleading, God is working, God is faithful. Only wait.
