Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our life is full of brokenness--broken relationships, broken promises, broken expectations. How can we live with that brokenness without becoming bitter and resentful except by returning again and again to God's faithful presence in our lives.

Henri Nouwen

When you read God's Word, you must constantly be saying to yourself, "It is talking to me, and about me.".

Søren Kierkegaard

To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.

John Calvin

If you know that God is calling you, step out in faith--even if the money is not in hand, even if the people are not in place, even if the end is not in sight. God never calls you accidentally or incidentally, but always with a clear purpose in mind for your life.

Henry Blackaby
