If you are sufficient for your task it's too small.

My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:8).

Do you feel loved by God because you believe he makes much of you, or because you believe he frees you and empowers you to enjoy making much of him?

Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.

Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.

Never try to be better than someone else. Learn from others, and try to be the best you can be. Success is the by-product of that preparation.

Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.

Before there could be any permanent reformation the people must be led to feel their utter inability in themselves to render obedience to God.

Now when you can no longer be active, and infirmities press upon you, all that God requires of you is to trust Him.

In order to encourage us to have confidence and trust He comes near us by His holy Word and Spirit, and seeks in a thousand ways to win our confidence. But in nothing does He take more delight than in receiving the weak who come to Him for strength.
