You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to..........discourage him.

You cannot unsay a cruel word.

You can't make Christ the center of your life if you don't make Him the center of your thoughts.

You say: "I can't figure things out", God says: "I will direct your steps". [Proverbs 3:5] Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [3:6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths .

You say: "I can't forgive myself", God says: "I forgive you". [I John 1:9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

You say: "I can't go on", God says: "My grace is sufficient". [II Corinthians 12:9] And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

You say: "I can't manage", God says: "I will supply all of your needs". [Philippians 4:19] But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

You say: "I feel all alone", God says: "I will never leave you or forsake you". [Hebrews 13:5] Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee .

You say: "I'm afraid", God says: "I have not given you a spirit of fear". [II Timothy 1:7] For God hath not given us the spirit of fear ; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

You say: "I'm always worried and frustrated", God says: "Cast all of your cares on Me". [I Peter 5:7] Casting all your care upon him ; for he careth for you.

You say: "I'm not smart enough", God says: "I give you wisdom". [I Corinthians 1:30] But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom , and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

You say: "I'm too tired", God says: "I will give you rest". [Matthew 11:28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest .

You say: "It's impossible", God says: "All things are possible". [Matthew 19:26] But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible . [Mark 9:23] Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. [10:27] And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible . [Luke 18:27] And he said, The things which are impossible with men are possible with God .

You say: "Nobody really loves me", God says: "I love you" [John 3:16] For God so loved the world , that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

You should be like a waiter in a restaurant. You should want to do His will.

You think it's hot here? - God

You will never go forward if you're always looking backwards.

Your conscience is your alarm clock.

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
