Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.
The only way you can serve God is by serving other people.
You never know God is all you need until God is all you have.
What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me.
If you’re alive, there’s a purpose for your life.
We are products of our past, but we don’t have to be prisoners of it.
You were made by God and for God and until you understand that, life will never make sense.
Forgiveness must be immediate, whether or not a person asks for it. Trust must be rebuilt over time. Trust requires a track record.
God sometimes removes a person from your life for your protection. Don’t run after them.
Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Don’t waste your pain; use it to help others.
The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.
God intentionally allows you to go through painful experiences to equip you for ministry to others.
Life minus love equals zero.
Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it
Frankness is not a license to say anything you want, wherever and whenever you want. It is not rudeness.
The only really happy people are those who have learned how to serve.
The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act.
Those who have hurt you in the past cannot continue to hurt you now unless you hold on to the pain through resentment.
Happy moments, PRAISE GOD
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD
Painful moments, TRUST GOD
Every moment, THANK GOD
Frankness is not a license to say anything you want, wherever and whenever you want. It is not rudeness.
If God only used perfect people, nohting would get done. God will use anybody if you’re available.
