“Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.”

If God only used perfect people, He would have no one to use.

God specializes in giving people a fresh start.

Life minus love equals zero.

Love leaves legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.

You don’t bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.

God doesn’t intend for you to handle all the pain and stress in your life by yourself. We were wired for each other. We need each other.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He’s working on you, too.

Other people are going to find healing in your wounds. Your greatest life messages and your most effective ministry will come out of your deepest hurts.

Nothing else you do will ever matter as much as helping people establish an eternal relationship with God.

You weren’t put on earth to be remembered. You were put here to prepare for eternity.

When God is at the center of your life, you Worship, when He’s not, you Worry.

Wearing a mask wears you out. Faking it is fatiguing. The most exhausting activity is pretending to be what you know you aren’t.

You cannot fulfil God’s purposes for your life while focusing on your own plans.

God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.

It is never too late to start growing.

One day it’s all going to be clear. It’s all going to make sense. You’re going to be able to say, “So that’s why God allowed that in my life!” Until then, God wants you to trust him.

I’m only as good as my last word, my last hook, my last bridge.

No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.

Walls turned sideways are bridges.

Work for what you believe in, but pick your battles, and don’t burn your bridges.

Instead of building walls, we can help build bridges.

In times of crisis, the wise build bridges while the foolish barriers.

Passion is the bridge that takes you from pain to change.

Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known.
