God's mercy to us is the motivation for showing mercy to others. Remember, you will never be asked to forgive someone else more than God has forgiven you.
The search for the purpose of life has puzzled people for thousands of years. That’s because we typically begin at the wrong starting point—ourselves. We ask self-centered questions like What do I want to be? What should I do with my life? What are my goals, my ambitions, my dreams for my future? But focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose.
God is not just the starting point of your life; he is the source of it.
Jesus has not promised to build your ministry; he has promised to build his church.
Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts.

Your spiritual gifts were not given for your own benefit but for the benefit of others, just as other people were given gifts for your benefit.
Paul says that as Christians we can rejoice even in tough times because we have hope and because we know that God is working in our lives.

It is not fate, nor chance, nor luck, nor coincidence that you are breathing this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you!
