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

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.

If Jesus is king in heaven then the Kingdom of God is in heaven. If Jesus is king, reign on earth then the Kingdom of Heaven is on earth. If Jesus is king in my heart, then the Kingdom of God is in me.

Surrender is not the best way to live; it is the only way to live. Nothing else works.

Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose, life has no meaning. Without meaning, life has no significance or hope.

Little people belittle people. Great people make people feel great.

He is poor who is dissatisfied; he is rich who is contented with what he has, and he is richer who is generous with what he has.

When I was younger, the pressure was just being cool. I never thought of myself as a cool guy. I always thought of myself as more of the goofy guy.

Have a heart that never hardens, and a temper that never tires, and a touch that never hurts.

The better ambitions have to do with the development of character and ability, rather than status and power. The status you can lose. You carry character with you wherever you go, and it allows you to prevail against adversity.

The truly self-possessed, however, are free from the whims of fate and chance. Calmly, they affect their will, and with strength of character and purity of intention, they attract to their person solely positive outcomes.

Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.

Mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance.

Circumstances do not shape us so much as they reveal us.
