“If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.”

Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen.

If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.

The way to grow strong in Christ is to become weak in yourself.

Spiritual maturity is not reached by the passing of the years, but by obedience to the will of God.

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.

A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.

The main characteristic which is the proof of the indwelling Spirit is an amazing tenderness in personal dealing, and a blazing truthfulness with regard to God’s Word.

We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.

The proof that our relationship is right with God is that we do our best whether we feel inspired or not.

The truth is we have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome because He is all in all and we are more than conquerors through Him.

Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it.

The great thing about faith in God is that it keeps a man undisturbed in the midst of disturbance.

It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.

God is not saving the world; it is done. Our business is to get men and women to realize it.

For understanding in spiritual matters, the golden rule is not intellect but obedience.

You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.

I never knew that I would be actually designing clothes or as into fashion as I am now.

The media has a lot of power, and everything I do is what I want people to see, whether it’s putting out a new single, dropping a new album, doing a new movie or new collab with a designer – this is what I want people to see.

Bottom line, your body is a temple, and you have to treat it that way. That’s how God designed it.

Real art has the capacity to make us nervous.

It is sound planning that invariably earns us the outcome we want; without it, even the gods are unlikely to look with favour on our designs.

Self-plagiarism is style.

You spend your life training to be an actor, observing people’s characteristics so that you can design characters around what you’ve seen.

I am not bothered with whether my characters are conventional or not. Because I am not in this for the designer labels and the autographs.
