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

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.

God will never love you any less or more than he does right now because his love is based on who he IS,not what you’ve done.

It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny. Every other path leads to a dead end.

Be grateful for who you are and whatever you have. Everything you have is a gift from God.

In deep pain, people don’t need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.

The best use of life is love. The best expression of love is time. The best time to love is now.

I invite you to bow your head and quietly whisper the prayer that will change your eternity: Jesus I believe in you and I receive you.

God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.

If you try to serve people, it impresses them. If you try to impress people it irritates them.

Delays are as much a part of God plan as answered prayers. God wants you to trust him.

Learning to love unselfishly is not an easy task. It runs counter to our self-centered nature.

Great opportunities are often disguised as small acts of service.

The more you care about the powerless, the more power you have. The more you serve those with no influence, the more influence God gives you. The more you humble yourself, the more you’re honored by others.

My faith is a wounded faith, but my life is not without faith. I didn’t divorce God, but I’m quarrelling and arguing and questioning, it’s a wounded faith.

The man that is popular with the world is not a friend of Jesus. You cannot serve two masters. The world hates Christ, and if you are a friend of the world you cannot be a friend of His. You may be sure that something is wrong with you when everybody is your friend.

Don’t let failure or disappointment cut you off from God or make you think that the future is hopeless. When God closes one door, He often opens another door – if we seek it.

Don’t ever hesitate to take to [God] whatever is on your heart. He already knows it anyway, but He doesn’t want you to bear its pain or celebrate its joy alone.

The Gospel of John opens with Jesus Christ in the bosom of God, and closes with the sinner in the bosom of Jesus Christ.

The will of God is never exactly what you expect it to be. It may seem to be much worse, but in the end it’s going to be a lot better and a lot bigger.

Most of us know about God, but that is quite different from knowing God.

Anxiety is the natural result when our hopes are centered in anything short of God and His will.
