Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the miracle.
Integrity
Gary Chapman
Gifts need not be expensive; after all, “it’s the thought that counts.” But I remind you, it is not the thought left in your head that counts; it is the gift that came out of the thought that communicates emotional love.
Katherine Walden
God’s “not yet” means exactly that. It doesn’t mean “no”. Earthly parents sometimes lie to their child, saying “not yet,” with the hope their child will forget about their request. God’s “yes” is always ‘yes’ and His “no” is always “no.” God doesn’t forget His promises and He makes no promise that He will not keep.
Bill Johnson
Integrity is the expression of God’s character seen in us. And that character is His holiness. Holiness is the essence of His nature. It is not something He does or doesn’t do. It is who He is. It is the same for us. We are holy because the nature of God is in us. It begins with a heart separated unto God, and becomes evident in the Christ nature seen through us.
Roger J Squire
A wise person truly said, “It ought to be as impossible to forget that there is a Christian in the house as it is to forget that there is a ten-year-old boy in it.”
Warren Wiersbe
If you take care of yourself and walk with integrity, you may be confident that God will deal with those who sin against you. Above all, don’t give birth to sin yourself; rather, pray for those who persecute you. God will one day turn your persecution into praise.
Catherine Marshall
A Christian has no business being satisfied with mediocrity. He’s supposed to reach for the stars. Why not? He’s not on his own anymore. He has God’s help now.
John R. W. Stott
Oath-taking is really a pathetic confession of our own dishonesty. What do we find it necessary to introduce our promises by some tremendous formula? The only reason is that we know our simple word is not likely to be trusted. So we try to induce people to believe us by adding a solemn oath.
Rick Warren
Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be dishonest; humility grows when we refuse to be prideful; and endurance develops every time you reject the temptation to give up.
Israelmore Ayivor
If you lose your integrity, you will also lose your identity, your sensitivity and your dignity. Integrity is honesty, modesty and security in all kinds of weather. It should be our priority!
