“The law of the Lord is perfect
Reviving the soul
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy
Making wise the simple
The precepts of the Lord are right
Giving joy to the heart
The commands of the Lord are radiant
Giving light to the eyes
The fear of the Lord is pure
Enduring forever
The ordinances of the Lord are sure
And forever righteous
They are more precious than gold
They are sweeter than honey
Than honey from the comb
By them is your servant warned
In keeping them there is great reward”

“Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first and last day of your life. Don’t let what’s wrong with you keep you from worshiping what’s right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze a new trail. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don’t try to be who you’re not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.”
