Top Highlights
“God’s will for your life is simply for you to love Him with your whole heart and seek His kingdom above the world’s passions. When you do, you find a sustaining peace within your heart that nothing can remove or change.” (Page 2)
“Jesus Christ is your hope and point of freedom from bondage (Rom. 7:24–25). He never gives up on you. Praise Him for His undivided love, mercy, and grace.” (Page 200)
“God wants us to enjoy His provisions. However, the key to the good things in life is not in doing or having but in living for Jesus Christ. You will find that when your affections are set on material gain, your spirit suffers. Life takes on a hopeless effect. But you avoid all of this when knowing Jesus is your aim and goal.” (Page 380)
“If there is anything in your life that keeps you from being totally committed to the Lord, then God will reveal it. When He does, ask Him to give you the strength to let go of it.” (Page 202)
“How many of us have played the blame game by saying, ‘If only he had not made me do this or feel this way’? No one can force you to do anything. You can say no to anger, resentment, jealousy, divisiveness, fear, and much more. Blaming others for your actions leads only to heartache and feelings of anxiety. Take responsibility for what you have done. Learn to be honest with yourself and others, and you will discover a marvelous freedom.” (Page 67)
