(Swindoll) Focus fully on Christ. Imagine Him as He  is thinking about you, praying for you, standing with you, and living in you

(Swindoll) We can learn a great deal from children about simple faith and simple hope

(Swindoll)  Contrary to popular opinion, God doesn't sit in heaven with His arms folded in disapproval and a deep frown on His brow

(Swindoll) Never forget: we are being watched

(Our Daily Bread)  If you have everything but Christ, you have nothing. If you have nothing but Christ, you have everything

( J. Allen Blair) Empty your heart of self and fill it with Himself

(Blair) The quality of our talk for God depends on  the quality of our walk with God

(Swindoll) Life doesn't revolve around me, my comfort, my desires, my dreams,  or my plans. Clearly, it is all about Him

(Swindoll) Many see faith as something your exercise only when  all your backup plans  have failed  and you have exhausted all other options

(Swindoll) Most of us are so programmed to sin that we wait for it to happen. Most Christians have been better trained to expect and handle sin than to expect to enjoy their freedom. How much better to begin each day thinking victory, not defeat; to awake to grace, not shame. Beware of becoming victim to the fall-failure-shame-confession syndrome

(Jim Cymbala) God's plans for us are greater than we can ever imagine

Are you changing the world or is the world changing you?

( Cymbala) God has called every single Christian to do something special, mighty and unique that only he or she  can do

(Cymbala ) It has well been said that it is always too soon to quit. It is  also never too late to get started again

(Ray Stedman) Pride has a way of working out its own destruction. Pride sets a trap-- and then proceeds to spring the trap on itself

( Stanley) Whatever you acquire outside of God's will will eventually turn to ashes

(Stanley) You reap what you sew, more than you sew, and later than you sew

( Our Daily Bread) Love for God can be measured by the love we show for our worst enemy

It has well been said that when fears knocks at the door, send faith to answer and no one will be there
