Keep what you like as your own. Discard the rest.
- If I can believe what my Father says is true, I can avoid the curiosity that would get me into trouble.
- We choose whether we will be part of the good God is doing or the evil that he allows.
- With the Lord, I can be content with better, because that will ultimately and inevitably take me to the best and the bestest.
- If our time belongs to the Lord, we should never want to see it wasted.
- I must know what God would have me do, how to do it, and have the desire to do it—or it probably won’t be done.
- My imagination is insufficient to comprehend the truth.
- Knowing we don’t understand can open the door to our hearing and believing the truth—if we listen to what the Lord is saying to our hearts.
- My best can never be good enough unless I have God’s help.
- God’s presence in all the Earth makes goodness available everywhere to those who want to receive it.
- Instructions have no value if we insist on going our own way.
- If we love the Lord, we can know where we will be a hundred years from now—wherever God wants us to be, doing whatever he wants us to do.
- We have no benefit in receiving God’s presence if we are not givers of who he is in us.
- What God knows is better is always better than what I think is better—unless I’m thinking like God is thinking.
- God’s instructions are an opportunity to hear him and do what is right—but only if we want to.
- If we think we should see more miracles, we might question whether our faith formula we think is right is really right.
- Without a desire to be better with God’s help, we easily get worse.
- I would much rather have God’s direction in what he wants than to have his permission for what I want.
- Perfection is not what we think it is, but it is whatever precisely matches God’s purpose for us.
- Robbing Peter to pay Paul can’t make Peter happy, but Paul will be delighted and want to know why he can’t have more.
- The power behind miracles is being used of God, not using God.
- Those who are anticipating retirement should know that we’ll never retire from whatever God has for us to do.
- Encouragement has no value if it doesn’t consider reality.
- Salvation requires total surrender to God’s will, for which we give up everything to have what he knows we need.
- To enjoy our liberties, we need to get out more.
- Showing excitement all the time would be really wonderful, because God is so wonderful all the time.
- Success is easy if you can avoid all the pitfalls, and we need God’s help for that.
