Only one can wear the crown.

It's far better to place your trust in Him who created you, rather than in yourself. He knows your history, all about you, and he cares.

The key is surrender, being willing to accept God's will - no matter what. It will ALWAYS be worked for the good of the surrendered heart.

Don't try to clean yourself up before seeking out the Lord. You can never be clean enough.

Do not resist God when he allows a trial in your life. He will use it for your good.

Don't resist God when he brings chastening upon you. It is out of his love. Surrender and let him have his way in your life.

Surrendering to your Creator is the smartest thing you'll ever do.
