“Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.”

If we have no mercy toward others, that is one proof that we have never experienced God’s mercy.

My home is in Heaven. I’m just traveling through this world.

When we come to Christ, we’re no longer the most important person in the world to us; Christ is. Instead of living only for ourselves, we have a higher goal: to live for Jesus.

Someday a loving Hand will be laid upon our shoulder and this brief message will be given: “Come home.

We hurt people by being too busy. Too busy to notice their needs. Too busy to drop that note of comfort or encouragement or assurance of love. Too busy to listen when someone needs to talk. Too busy to care.

Faith grows when it is planted in the fertile soil of God’s Word.

The number one problem in our world is alienation, rich versus poor, black versus white, labor versus management, conservative versus liberal, East versus West, But Christ came to bring about reconciliation and peace.

Prayer shouldn’t be casual or sporadic, dictated only by the needs of the moment. Prayer should be as much a part of our lives as breathing.

Christ alone can bring lasting peace – peace with God – peace among men and nations – and peace within our hearts.

I am convinced the greatest act of love we can ever perform for people is to tell them about God’s love for them in Christ.

Prayers have no boundaries. They can leap miles and continents and be translated instantly into any language.

Life is just a schoolroom with a glorious opportunity to prepare us for eternity.

The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith.

Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.

If you want the perfect plan that God has for your life, you will have to go by way of Calvary to get it.

Our real journey in life is interior; It is a matter of growth, deepening, and of an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love and grace in our hearts. Never was it more necessary to respond to that action.

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That’s the day we truly grow up.

When you are growing up, everyone will help you. When you reach the top, everyone will start pulling you down. The same people who help you will be the same people who try to pull you down.

I grew up such a fan. It was my life. Everything I did was hockey related and everything I have is because of hockey and the NHL.

You need an attitude of service. You’re not just serving yourself. You help others to grow up and you grow with them.

No matter how much we grow, we are never free of daily chores and routines, but to be enlightened is to embrace them. The outside may look the same, but inside you are transformed.

Love is preserved by wisdom. Destroyed by demand, tested by doubt, nourished by longing. It blossoms with faith and grows with gratitude.
