“In pain, I’d rather walk with Jesus with all of my questions, than walk by myself with all the answers.”

Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.

People are interested by talent. God is impressed by character

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.

Life is about letting God use you for his purposes, not using him for your own purpose.

Remember that your character is the sum total of your habits.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.

The greatest tragedy is not death, but life without purpose.

Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. You expect him to keep his promises, help you with problems, and do the impossible when necessary.

Our hope is not in the man we put in the White House but in the Man we put on the Cross.

The greatest gift you can give someone is your time.

Worry is a waste of energy. It cant change the past. It cant control the future. It only makes today miserable.

What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it.

The greatest use of your words is prayer. Talk to God about EVERYTHING, all the time. Maintain a running conversation.

You cannot exalt God and yourself at the same time.

We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Jesus didn’t come to tell us the answers to the questions of life, he came to be the answer.

I’m no longer prepared to accept what people say and what’s written in books. I must think things out for myself, and try to find my own answer.

Technologies will come and go, so you need to be able to both ask and answer the question: What do you do as a company, why do you exist?

I’m from Dallas, Texas, and every time my grandmother would call-she would call me any time of the day-I’d be home answering the phone.

Youre not going to drive me home? I asked. A waste of breath, since i knew her answer. Theres fog. Patchy fog. Vee grinned. Oh, boy. He is so on your mind. Not that i blame you. Personally, im hoping i dream about him tonight.

It made me love talk that sought answers to questions that could help nobody, that could only keep alive in me that enthralling sense of wonder and awe in the face of the drama of human feeling which is hidden by the external drama of life.

One thing that I am sure of, and which I can answer truthfully, is that whatever the contingencies that may arise here, wherever I am there will be no communism.

And I think that’s reflected in the fact that, when we have problems that really are problems of employment, that are really problems of mental health, that are really problems of drugs, our answer is the police.
