No Regrets or Unfinished Business

"I want to live in such a way that, if it is only twenty-nine more days or twenty-nine more weeks, or if it is twenty-nine more years or more, I want to faithful with each one of those—that I could go and meet the Lord without regrets, without unfinished business." ~ Nancy Leigh DeMoss

Creature Comforts or Committment

"You have to be absolutely committed to your assignment if you're going to become all that God wants you to be. Those who are more concerned about their creature comforts than achieving victory will eventually fall by the wayside and fail. But if you're willing to pay the price, you'll be standing tall when all of those pushovers are gone, and you'll win the prize! Your endurance and refusal to quit will prove that you're a mighty champion of faith." ~ Rick Renner

Teach Me

"Teach me, O God, so to use all the circumstances of my life today that they may bring forth in me the fruits of holiness rather than the fruits of sin.
Let me use disappointment as material for patience:
Let me use success as material for thankfulness:
Let me use suspense as material for perseverance:
Let me use danger as material for courage:
Let me use reproach as material for longsuffering:
Let me use praise as material for humility:
Let me use pleasures as material for temperance:
Let me use pains as material for endurance."

~ John Baillie

Walk in the Light of His Face

"The out-and-out Christian is a joyful Christian. The half-and-half Christian is the kind of Christian that a great many of you are~~~little acquainted with the Lord. Why should we live halfway up the hill and swathed in the mists, when we might have an unclouded sky and a radiant sun over our heads if we would climb higher and walk in the light of His face?" ~ Alexander Maclaren
