Before you do what other people are doing, ask yourself, ‘Is this the right thing for me?’ If it is not, then stay away. Do not do it.

Remember that ‘Culture changes; God doesn’t’ ‘If we don’t want to compromise our faith but we do want to influence our culture, then we must follow God first.’

When things are not going well, when we are faced with others, don’t get scared. Because you are not alone. God is with you.

When faced with cultural pressure, don’t compromise your faith or the opportunity to influence the world for God’s kingdom.’ When things are tough, don’t play with your faith. It is all you have.

Understanding Divine Control: Finding Your True Path

If you think you are in charge of your life, you are dead wrong. You are not in charge of your life.

God is in charge of your life. God is on your side. He wants you to succeed. He wants you to do what makes you happy.

He wants you to be who you are, not who you are not. That is why you should never try to control things that you cannot control. Because you are not in charge. God is.

You can control yourself. But you can’t control what is not within you.

Instead of trying to control all things, why not fill them with love?

Remember, love empowers. Happiness empowers. Passion empowers. Empathy empowers. Care empowers.

But control weakens. Anger weakens. Resentment weakens. And haste weakens.

If you want to add value to yourself, empower other people.
