Don’t allow disappointments to stand between you and your relationship with God. Many people lose their way simply because they are disappointed and bitter at God for not performing the way they thought He should. God is not a robot programmed to serve us in any way that we ask. He knows our true needs better than we do, and He knows when to give and take things away.

"To serve God we are not called to choose self-denial or sacrifice, rather are we called to fulfill God’s purpose. The basic principle is not to choose the cross but to obey God’s will. Should the principle on which we work and serve include rebellion, then satan will obtain and enjoy glory even through our sacrifices."

"Delayed answers to prayers are not refusals. Many prayers are received and recorded, yet underneath are the words, “My time has not yet come.” God has a fixed time and an ordained purpose, and He who controls the limits of our lives also determines the time of our deliverance."

Christianity isn’t simply about committing. If you commit it is still about your will.
Christianity is about completely submitting. When you submit you give up your will to God’s will.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?’ Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
