DESTINY

"Any fool can count the seeds in an apple.  Only God can count the apples in one seed."  ~Robert H. Schuller

"It is not my ability, but my response to God's ability, that counts."  ~Corrie Ten Boom

"Heaven is not here, it's there.  If we were given all we wanted here, our hearts would settle for this world rather than the next.  God is forever luring us up and away from this one, wooing us to Himself and His still invisible Kingdom, where we will certainly find what we so keenly long for."  ~Elizabeth Elliot

"You are valuable because you exist.  Not because of what you do or what you have done, but simply because you are."  ~Max Lucado

FAITH

"Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time."  ~Oswald Chambers

"To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary.  To one without faith, no explanation is possible ."  ~St. Thomas Aquinas

"Faith sees what your physical eyes can never see; faith knows what your natural mind can never comprehend; faith possesses what your physical arms can never hold.  Faith says, 'yes' to everything God declares to be true; faith stands upon everything God says is certain; it leans upon everything God says is unmovable, and it counts upon everything God says will come to pass."  ~Roy Lessin

FORGIVENESS

"Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future."  ~Paul Boese

"True forgiveness is not an action after the fact, it is an attitude with which you enter every moment."  ~David Ridge

GRACE

"Beauty without grace is the hook without the bait."  ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I do not at all understand the mystery of grace - only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us."  ~Anne Lamott

HOPE

"Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all."  ~Emily Dickinson
