“There is no success without sacrifice. If you succeed without sacrifice, it is because someone has suffered before you.” —Adoniram Judson 

Have you prayed for something for so long that now you don’t really pray for it anymore? Scott Hubbard shares good reasons why we need to persist in those prayers. 

“We must see that we are no good unless God takes charge of us. When God has real control of us, our future takes on a new outlook. What a wonderful open door of opportunities for God to use us!” —Smith Wigglesworth 

“Great men may make despotisms; but democracies make great men. The other main factory of heroes besides a revolution is a religion. And a religion again, is a thing which, by its nature, does not think of men as more or less valuable, but of men as all intensely and painfully valuable, a democracy of eternal danger. For religion all men are equal, as all pennies are equal, because the only value in any of them is that they bear the image of the King.” —G.K. Chesterton 

Fossils show some creatures being much larger in the past. This report from ICR reminds us, “This is just one more example of the widespread phenomenon of fossil giantism. Many pre-Flood fossil creatures were gigantic. These include not just extinct giants like dinosaurs but also the ancestors of creatures that are still alive today. … Obviously, the staggering size of many fossil creatures suggests they had access to abundant food and lived in an environment that was, even after the Fall, still “very good” in many ways (Genesis 1:31).”

“One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.” —Mother Teresa 

“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” —Maya Angelou
