Machines can only find what ignorant men have programmed them to find.
Life works most perfectly when a reciprocal love relationship is in place between man and God.
Make no mistake: Satan’s specialty is psychological warfare. If he can turn us on God (“It’s not fair!”), or turn us on others (“It’s their fault!”), or turn us on ourselves (“I’m so stupid!”), we won’t turn on him. If we keep fighting within ourselves and losing our own inner battles, we’ll never have the strength to stand up and fight our true enemy.
Let your light shine today, and let your personality blossom, too. You don't have to be a people-pleaser, just a people-lover.
We want Christ to hurry and calm the storm. He wants us to find him in the midst of it first.
It's never fun when we're in the midst of the storm. But when we land someplace we know we never could have found on our own, it is a beautiful thing.

It's oppressive. . . . It's food, it's clothing, it's all the magazines that come under the heading of things looking simple. Men's magazines don't seem to do this. They seem to be about things that are fun, not things you have to spend lots of hours on and then fail at.
The same soil is good for men and for trees. A man's health requires as many acres of meadow to his prospect as his farm does loads of muck.

We all get weary sometimes, and we tend to think that life is what makes us weary.
