“Mercy is what we need, grace is what we must have, or all our life and effort will end in complete failure.”

~ How To Pray, R.A. Torrey

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is is no effort without shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasm, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

~ Theodore Roosevelt

“…many of us have settled into identities and names that are way way way beneath what God has in store for us. We have called ourselves by very small names, and heaven is looking at you and is confused, because heaven knows what God says about you. Heaven knows how He boasts about you before the angles.”

~ Restorer, Ty Bello
