Your life is a journey you must travel with a deep consciousness of God. -- 1 Peter 1:17b (The Message)
Think of your sufferings as a weaning from that old sinful habit of always expecting to get your own way. Then you’ll be able to live out your days free to pursue what God wants instead of being tyrannized by what you want. -- 1 Peter 4:1b-2 (The Message)
So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. -- 1 Peter 5:6 (The Message)
