You life is too costly – Anonymous
Your life is far too costly to squander it through confidence in your own plans and thinking. God’s mind is perfect. He knows your future. You are in superior hands when you surrender to Him and His leading.

In Christ and Christ in You – Ian Thomas
To be in Christ—that makes you fit for heaven; but for Christ to be in you—that makes you fit for earth! To be in Christ changes your destination; but for Christ to be in you—that changes your destiny! The one makes heaven your home—the other makes this world His workshop.

Imitating Christ – Francis Chan
It’s impossible to be a disciple or a follower of someone and not end up like that person. Jesus said, “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher” (Luke 6:40). That’s the whole point of being a disciple of Jesus: we imitate Him, carry on His ministry, and become like Him in the process.
