people

Compared to when I was a boy, we now live in reverse. The people are locked up in their homes at night and criminals are outside on the loose! When I was young, the criminals were locked up and the people were free to move about. That time has passed for many cities.

Instead of manipulating [people] for our own purposes, we__ help them achieve what is best for them. We__ also try to see life through their eyes. Treat others the way you would want them to treat you.

I have never met a person who didn__ have problems of some kind. This is why we need one another__ encouragement.

Some of the most miserable people I have ever met have been people who are very popular with the public, but down inside are empty and miserable.

I have never known a man who received Christ and ever regretted it.

If the other person would just do things my way, we could get along,_ one says, when the other person is probably thinking the same about us__hat leads to conflict. Our deepest problems are within ourselves.

Someday all of us will give account of the way we have used the gifts God has given. The person to whom much has been given will find much required of him.

Man boasts of his nobility, his ideals, and his progress. Man__ goal is imitation, not redemption.

Man persists in waywardness. If one institution fails [he says], try another__nything but God__ plan.

All around you are people who need Christ: your family, your neighbors, people you work with or go to school with every day. Are you praying for them, asking God to open the door of their hearts to His truth?

Our personalities, our intelligence, and our capabilities are gifts from [God__] own bountiful hand. If we divert their use for our own profit, we become guilty of selfishness.

As men and women seek to find independence from God, they have lost a sense of purpose in life. The worth of human personality is often equated with what we do for a living. However, a person__ occupation, community standing, or bank account is not what is important in God__ eyes.

I am becoming aware of the truth that people change people as much as ideas change people.The power of personality is strong . . . often personality is greater than the idea.

Almost nothing is as complex as the human personality, and no simple formula will ever cover every situation or every relationship.

Lying is one of the worst of all sins and can be committed by a thought, word, or deed. Anything that is intended to deceive another person is lying.

God can take anything that happens to us__ven bad things__nd use it to shape us and make us into a better, more Christlike person__f we will let Him.

People are little creatures with big capacities, finite beings with infinite desires, deserving nothing but demanding all. God made people with this huge capacity and desire in order that He might come in and completely satisfy that desire.

The central theme of the universe is the purpose and destiny of every individual. Every person is important in God__ eyes.
