If you want to stay on the right path with God and walk forward fearlessly, these are the things you need: humility and gratitude. It is very hard to get into the trouble relationally, spiritually, vocationally if your life is typified by humility and gratitude. ~ Jimmy Myers

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
Instead of thinking my life should be peaceful and tranquil and wonderful with only occasional shots of tumult, actually God promised it was going to be a war. ~ Jimmy Myers
Never EVER did God say, “Everybody retreat!” No. He said the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church. ~Jimmy Myers
If you have a lot of head knowledge but if you’re not healthy emotionally, then you present this rigid, legalistic picture of Christianity. ~ Susie Davis
We preach about grace, we sing about grace, but most of us act like we wouldn’t know grace if it came up and bit us in our hindquarters. ~ Jimmy Myers
Instead of trying to parent the way that God parents us, we get mad that God doesn’t parent like we do. God allows negative things into our lives. He disciplines those that He loves. He doesn’t parent like us because He knows that’s an emotionally crippling way to raise a child. ~ Dr. Jimmy Myers
