STEVE'S WISDOM:
· Life can be incredibly good and desperately bad even at the same time – and that's just life.
· If you're involved in any ministry where God is doing stuff and changing lives, don't be complacent and forget that there is a real enemy and he would like nothing more than to see you destroyed.
· The Word of God is still powerful and effective and the enemy has no way of fighting against it.
· When God said that He would never let up on my personal development and maturity – He really meant it – even when I'm NOT especially focused on it.
· You can't always tell when a person is going through their 'dark night of the soul', so be careful not to assume you know anyone that well.
· If I'm to stay healthy and well-adjusted, I need genuine intimacy with my family and friends.
· Always try to keep the main thing – the main thing – and that's people and relationships.
· We're called to share one another's burdens – not carry them – that's God's job.
· That which doesn't kill me, makes me stronger – but it still might kill me if I don't learn the lessons I need to, and stay vigilant.
· God's OK with all of my weaknesses and failings and His love and grace never run out on me.
· Life's too short, people die when you don't expect it – it sucks and it hurts – so don't take people for granted, but love them well so that you won't have regrets.
· Do what you know you've gotta do, because there's no escaping it if you want to live in peace.
· The simple, uncomplicated life still beats the hell out of anything else on offer.
