The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go, instead of how far they have come..
Church is not an organization you join; it is a family where you belong, a home where you are loved and a hospital where you find healing..
The strength of your faith is not measured by the absence of doubt, but by the faithfulness of your life in the face of doubt..
Just because you are struggling does NOT mean you are failing. Every great success requires some kind of struggle to get there..
Life is too short to worry about stupid things. Pray. Trust God. Enjoy life. Don't let the little things get you down..
Anyone can stay true to your face, it's the people who stay true behind your back that really count..
Stop looking for the perfect church. It does not exist. Even if it did exist, the moment we joined it, it would no longer be perfect!.
Life is short. Make the most of it. Put God first. Love deeply. Forgive quickly. Laugh a lot. Find and live out your purpose..
Appreciate those who love you. Serve those who need you. Forgive those who hurt you. Thank those who help you..
If God answers 'Yes', He is increasing your faith. If 'Wait', He is increasing your patience. If 'No', He has something better for you..
Difficulties come into our lives to develop us. Every storm is a school. Every trial is a teacher. Every experience is an education..
You can't change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it..
Sometimes God calms the storm. Sometimes He lets the storm rage and He calms you.
You reveal your own character most clearly when you describe someone else's..
Don't judge a person by their past. They don't necessarily live there anymore..
If the grass looks greener on the other side, it is probably astroturf..
Let your dreams be bigger than your fears, your actions louder than your words, and your faith stronger than your feelings.
The words of the tongue should have three gatekeepers: Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?.
A lot of problems in the world would be solved if we talked to each other instead of about each other..
Too often we try to use God to change our circumstance, when God is trying to use our circumstance to change us..
The most precious gift you can give someone is the gift of your time and attention..
