Charles R. Swindoll quotes about
Take charge of your thoughts!
happiness laughter grateful
Of all the things God created, I am often most grateful He created laughter.
vocabulary use cult
Cults use our vocabulary, but they don't use our dictionary.
morning white fire
Without a quest, life is quickly reduced to bleak black and wimpy white, a diet too bland to get anybody out of bed in the morning. A quest fuels our fire. It refuses to let us drift downstream gathering debris.
self-esteem taken thinking
In our rough and rugged individualism, we think of gentleness as weakness, being soft and virtually spineless. Not so! Gentleness includes such enviable qualities as having strength under control, being calm and peaceful when surrounded by a heated atmosphere, emitting a soothing effect on those who may be angry or otherwise beside themselves, and possessing tact and gracious courtesy that causes others to retain their self-esteem and dignity. Instead of losing, the gentle gain. Instead of being ripped off and taken advantage of, they come out ahead!
my-own
I am often the brunt of my own humor.
attitude looks wrong-attitude
When I have a wrong attitude, I look at life humanly. When I have a right attitude, I look at life divinely.
perseverance control-of-your-life effectiveness
Because the Holy Spirit is God, we feel Him as He controls our circumstances and transforms our lives. When He does that, He uses us. He melts us in relationships. He molds us in the pursuit and the direction of His will. He fills us with power and the perseverance to keep at it. He uses as He controls our circumstances and transforms our lives. Ask the Spirit of God to use you, just as you are, with the gifts and abilities that He's given you. Secure in the confidence that God is in control of your life, you will be free to serve Him with joy and effectiveness.

Remorse is sorrow over being caught and the pain of consequences that follow. Repentance is not being concerned for ourselves but having a contrite heart.
jobs wonderful-day gods-will
I don't have to explain or defend the will of God. My job is simply to obey it.
pain struggle unique
Because God gave you your makeup and superintended every moment of your past, including all the hardship, pain, and struggles, He wants to use your words in a unique manner. No one else can speak through your vocal cords, and, equally important, no one else has your story.
yesterday safety want
We want the safety of yesterday even though we know it's not where God would have us.

One of the problems with worry is that it keeps you from enjoying what you have.

I want to preach till the last breath in my lungs runs out.
