Keep what you like as your own. Discard the rest.

- With total focus on doing what God wants, we need not be concerned about the consequence of our actions, because we put the outcome under God’s control.
- For as long as we think we can make it on our own, we have no need for God’s help.
- Laws tell us what not to, more than we can remember, let alone do. But Love tells what is right to do.
- A chemo infusion of God’s instructions will cure the cancers of confusion and misbelief.
- Since Scripture is so easily twisted to suit whatever we want to believe, we do best to hear him speak to our hearts.
- If we want to see better, we should take a closer look in the Son light.
- The process of God’s transformation can be so gradual that I can’t see any difference when I look in the mirror, but I know it’s there.

- I sleep with my reading glasses nearby because I’ll need them if I wake up and need to preserve an important thought that would otherwise be forgotten.
