When you understand that life is a test, you realize that nothing is insignificant in your life.
If you give it to God, He transforms your test into a testimony, your mess into a message, and your misery into a ministry.
Character is both developed and revealed by tests, and all of life is a test.
Life is a gift... Life is a test... Life is temporary assignment....

What's in your heart? ... What disturbs you?
Faithful servants never retire, ... You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.
