Two works of mercy set a man free:  forgive and you will be forgiven, and give and you shall receive.

From Matthew 5:43-45:  “You have heard it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be children of your Father in Heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.”

Adversity is always unexpected and unwelcomed.  It is an intruder and a thief, and yet in the hands of God, adversity becomes the means through which His supernatural power is demonstrated.

From 1 John 5:3-5:  “ For the love of God is this, that we obey His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world.  And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.  Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?”

Be patient.  God is  using today’s difficulties to strengthen you for tomorrow.  He is equipping you.  The God who makes things grow will help you bear fruit.

From Ephesians 1:11-12:  “In Christ we have also obtained an inheritance, having been destined according to the purpose of Him who accomplishes all things according to His counsel and will, so that we, who were the first to set our hope on Christ, might live for the praise of His glory.”

God makes us broken bread and poured-out wine to please Himself.  To be separated unto the Gospel means to hear the call of God.

From 1 Corinthians 9:16:  “If I proclaim the Gospel, this gives me no ground for boasting, for an obligation is laid on me, and woe to me if I do not proclaim the Gospel!”

Instruction ends in the schoolroom, but education ends only with life.  A child is given to the universe to be educated.

The true aim of everyone who aspires to be a teacher should be, not to impart his own opinions, but to kindle minds.

These quotes come from Frederick W. Robertson, English preacher and Christian author.

Quit wasting energy fighting the inescapable and turn your energy to keeping the right attitude.

From Psalm 131:1-2:  “O Lord, my heart is not lifted up, my eyes are not raised too high; I do not occupy myself with things too great and too marvelous for me.

Action breeds confidence and courage.  If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home and think about it.  Go out and get busy.

From 2 Corinthians 9:6:  “The point is this:  the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”

C. S. Lewis Quote

You must ask for God’s help.  After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again.

From Psalm 111:10:  “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding.  His praise endures forever.”

Our walk counts far more than our talk, always!

From 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12:  “As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children, urging and encouraging you and pleading that you lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.”
