“The first step to becoming what God made you to be is to stop worrying about what others want you to be.”

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.

Telling others how they can have eternal life is the greatest thing you can do for them.

Whenever you feel unimportant, unloved, or insecure, remember to who you belong.

Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God’s face.

Spread the love of God through your life but only use words when necessary.

God shall be my hope, my stay, my guide and lantern to my feet.

I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity.

The gods too are fond of a joke.

O Lord, thou givest us everything, at the price of an effort.

Nothing can stand against our God. No sickness is too great, no addiction too strong, no enemy too powerful.

When you’re in difficult times, don’t just say what you feel, what you think, what you want. Say what God says about your situation.

Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning.
