It is your passion that empowers you to be able to do that thing you were created to do.

I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.

Never make a permanent decision based on a temporary storm.. No matter how raging the billows are today, remind yourself: "This too shall pass!"

There are people who can walk away from you... let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you... Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left. And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person, it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over.

Come hell or high water you will never take me back to the place I was before. I have been through too much to let life whoop me again. My faith is stronger than it's ever been, my mind is more tenacious than it's ever been, my soul is more absolute.

Faith becomes a bridge between where I am and where I want to go- it is a substance.

To be unforgiving is like to drink poison and wait for someone else to die!! Rev. TD Jakes (have I said how much I love ya!)

I'll give you some symptoms of a sign that your faith is deteriorating-whenever you face all of your problems and you trust only your plans to get you out-it is a sign that your faith is deteriorating.

When you can't do nothing but pray-you've done a whole lot.

God's grace is painted on the canvas of despair.

All of us have not been to a natural prison, but everybody in here has had a spiritual prison.

Isn't it funny how something that will later be a blessing can be a curse if you get it too soon.

I fully intend to preach the word of God to you until there's a difference between how you walk out of here and how you walked in here.

Church only benefits you when you participate in the presence of God.

When You Hold Onto Your History, You Do It At The Expense Of Your Destiny.

I'm not walking by sight- I'm, walking by faith

Somebody is n the hospital begging God for the opportunity u have right now. Step into your moment.

Nobody wants somebody who wants them for what they have or the position their in- you want somebody who wants you for you. In case it all goes crazy and it all turns to dust. I want somebody who loves me in the welfare line, eating gumbo, eating fish,black eyed peas and rice. I want somebody that loves me. God wants you to love him, not his cars, not his house, not his blessing- love him.

If you can't figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.

Focus on your accomplishments , not your failures.

Either your troubles make you better, or they make you bitter. We must always examine what’s going on in our hearts.
