Failure Does Not Shape You;

God Is Never A God Of Discouragement. When You Have A Discouraging Spirit Or Train Of Thought In Your Mind, You Can Be Sure It Is Not From God. He Sometimes Brings Pain To His Children-conviction Over Sin, Or Repentance Over Fallenness, Or Challenges That Scare Us, Or Visions Of His Holiness That Overwhelm Us. But God Never Brings Discouragement.

Waiting On The Lord Is A Confident, Disciplined, Expectant, Active, Sometimes Painful Clinging To God.

If You Can't Do Great Things, Mother Teresa Used To Say, Do Little Things With Great Love. If You Can't Do Them With Great Love, Do Them With A Little Love. If You Can't Do Them With A Little Love, Do Them Anyway. Love Grows When People Serve.

God Is So Immense That If He Were 'too Visible,' People Would Give Forced Compliance Without Expressing Their Heart. So God Made It Possible, In Enormous Love, For Us To Live As If He Were Not There.
