Someone who is truly unselfish is generous with his or her time and possessions, energy and money. As that works its way out, it is demonstrated in various ways, such as thoughtfulness and gentleness, an unpretentious spirit, and servant-hearted leadership.
It takes time to cultivate a walk with the Lord that begins to flow naturally because the enemy is so much more assertive and powerful than we...and so creative, so full of new ideas on how to derail us and demoralize us.

Under heaven's lock and key, we are protected by the most efficient security system available—the power of God.
David didn't seek success; he simply humbled himself under the mighty hand of God, staying close to the Lord and submitting himself to Him.
He must be able to create rather than invent, to direct rather than wish, to control rather than hope, to guide rather than guess, to fulfil rather than dream.
