“Don’t settle for helping those who will help you in return or doing a good deed for others to see. Help others without expecting anything back. Even if nobody else cares, God will notice.”

“We are not saved by good deeds; we are saved for good deeds. Jesus transforms us to transform others.”

“Let us live not only to serve God ourselves; let us live to help our children and their children live for God.”

“The true test of faith is how we treat those who can do nothing for us in return.”

“Why is it that we feel bad when “all” we can do for a person is pray for them? We feel like we need to work to help, but remember: prayer is the work.”

“Even in our own lives, we often struggle with a God who is real, who created us, who cares for us, and desires to know us. Yet from the start, God has made clear that you and I are made in his image, on purpose and for a purpose.”

“Our deeds will not cause God to love us more; our sins will not cause God to love us less.”
