Happy persons seldom think of happiness. They are too busy losing their lives in the meaningful sacrifices of service.
David Augsburger
I am your servant; give me discernment that I may understand your statutes.

We learn that faith isn’t proven in the comfort of stability but in the disruptions that follow it. Every setback, every loss, every unexpected turn becomes another reminder that God’s plan is far deeper than our understanding. And yet, through it all, we keep moving forward—trusting that the same God who carried us through the chaos before will meet us again in whatever lies ahead.
Timothy Graumann
He answered and said to them, “He who has two tunics, let him give to him who has none; and he who has food, let him do likewise.”
Luke 3:11
The New King James Version
It is impossible to be too preoccupied with God, and it is only as we fill our hearts and minds with him that we become melted out of our likeness and moulded into his.

Moderation is the silken-string running through the pearl-chain of all virtues.
Thomas Fuller
And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”
John 20:22
The New International Version
If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.

One of the deep secrets of life is that all that is really worth doing is what we do for others.
Lewis Carroll
Let these words of mine, with which I have pleaded before the Lord, be near to the Lord our God day and night, and may he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires, that all the peoples of the earth may know that the Lord is God; there is no other. Let your heart therefore be wholly true to the Lord our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.
1 Kings 8:59-61
The English Standard Version
One thing we may be sure of: For the believer all pain has meaning; all adversity is profitable. There is no question that adversity is difficult. It usually takes us by surprise and seems to strike where we are most vulnerable. To us it often appears completely senseless and irrational, but to God none of it is either senseless or irrational. He has a purpose in every pain He brings or allows in our lives. We can be sure that in some way He intends it for our profit and His glory.

The rich man is not one who is in possession of much, but one who gives much.
John Chrysostom
“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8
The New King James Version
If you want to live twice as long, eat half as much, sleep twice as much, drink water three times as much, and laugh four times at much.

If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.
Fred Rogers
Jesus answered and said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.”

The very fact that God has placed a certain soul in our way is a sign that God wants us to do something for him or her. It is not chance; it has been planned by God. We are bound by conscience to help him or her.
Mother Teresa
Evildoers do not understand what is right, but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.

Charity begins today. Today somebody is suffering, today somebody is in the street, today somebody is hungry. Our work is for today, yesterday has gone, tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today to make Jesus known, loved, served, fed, clothed, sheltered. Do not wait for tomorrow. Tomorrow we will not have them if we do not feed them today.
Mother Teresa
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them!
Psalm 139:17
The New International Version
We ought to act with God in the greatest simplicity, speaking to Him frankly and plainly, and imploring His assistance in our affairs, just as they happen.

“In you alone do I have all.” Such words are dear indeed unto the soul, and very close to the will and goodness of God. For he himself is eternity, and has made us for himself alone, has restored us by his blessed passion and keeps us in his blessed love. And all because he is goodness.
Julian of Norwich
Let no one seek his own good, but that of his neighbor.
1 Corinthians 10:24

Mystery is beyond human reason but it is not against reason.
