Charles Swindoll Quote
“I will hold you up,” God says. When you lean on another person or another thing, your focus is sideways, not vertical. Human crutches paralyze the walk of faith.

Gregory David Roberts Quote
Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.
From 1 Corinthians 13:4-7: “ Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.”

Only He can guide you to invest your life in worthwhile ways. The guidance will come as you “walk” with Him and listen to Him.
