Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from knowing God.
God's path always delivers what He promises.
No matter how dark and hopeless a situation might seem, never stop praying.
For me, the best time to pray is the very moment a tense situation or an unspiritual attitude overtakes me. God the Holy Spirit is always there, ready to help me gain victory in the spiritual battles I face-big or small.

You're rich if you've had a meal today.
The same sun that melts the butter hardens the clay.
God doesn't owe us anything yet in His grace, He still gives us good things.
Heaven is full of answers for which nobody ever bothered to ask.
Only God can give us a selfless love for others, as the Holy Spirit changes us from within. This is one reason we must receive Christ, for apart from His Spirit we can never be freed from the chains of selfishness, jealousy, and indifference. Will others see Christ's love in your life today?
The growing possibility of our destroying ourselves and the world with our own neglect and excess is tragic and very real.
There comes a moment when we all must realize that life is short, and in the end the only thing that really counts is not how others see us, but how God sees us.
Most of us follow our conscience as we follow a wheelbarrow. We push it in front of us in the direction we want to go.
If we have no mercy toward others, that is one proof that we have never experienced God's mercy.
