• We all have the same God, we just serve him differently. Rivers, lakes, ponds, streams, oceans all have different names, but they all contain water. So do religions have different names, and they all contain truth, expressed in different ways forms and times. It doesn't matter whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or a Jew. When you believe in God, you should believe that all people are part of one family. If you love God, you can't love only some of his children.

• God is bigger than time,
  dates, and appointments.
  He wants you to move
  through this day with a quiet heart,
  an inward assurance that
  He is in control, a peaceful certainty
  that your life is in His hands,
  a deep trust in His plan and purposes,
  and a thankful disposition,
  toward all that He allows.
  He wants you to put your faith in Him,
  not in a timetable.
  He wants you to wait on Him
  and wait for Him.
  In His perfect way He will put everything
  together, see to every detail...
  arrange every circumstance...
  and order every step to bring
  to pass what He has for you.
