"In giving us children, God places us in a position of both leadership and service. He calls us to give up our lives for someone else's sake - to abandon our own desires and put our child's interests first. Yet, according to His perfect design, it is through this selflessness that we can become truly fulfilled."

"God will never tell us to do something that gratifies the flesh."

"We are either in the process of resisting God's truth or in the process of being shaped and molded by his truth."

"The Scriptures contain many stories of people who waited years or even decades before the Lord's promises came to pass. What modern believers can learn from the patience of biblical saints like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul is that waiting upon the Lord has eternal rewards."

"It is a enduring truth that courage is not the absence of trembling, but the decision to step forward regardless — an essential principle for the reflective life."

"Have the courage to act instead of react."

"Clear thinking requires courage even more than intellect. A lesson woven into the fabric of human history."

"Courage is not the absence of trembling, but the decision to step forward regardless. Remember this in moments of decisive trial."
