You will know them by their fruits.~ The Holy Bible~Matthew 7:17

"People often think because you are who you are, or you have finally "made it," that somehow pain is removed from your life. It's not true. In my ministry, I have never known a time where I am not suffering the pain of something, whether it be emotional conflict, financial difficulties, pain in my body, etc.. I am always nailed to something. That is the way it is for the Christian. For everyone." T. D. Jakes

The Paradoxical Commandments
by Dr. Kent M. Keith

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.
