“Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Don’t waste your pain; use it to help others.”

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.

Integrity is built by defeating the temptation to be dishonest; humility grows when we refuse to be prideful; and endurance develops every time you reject the temptation to give up.

If your activities don’t match your priorities, you are wasting your life.

Doing the easy thing makes you popular. Doing the hard thing makes you a leader.

Worship isn’t an event to attend & watch. It’s a lifestyle to be lived.

Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It’s a journey of discovery – there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair.

Remember how far you’ve come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.

The most common mistake Christians make in worship today is seeking an experience rather than seeking God.

I just put on what the lady says. I’ve been married three times, so I’ve had lots of supervision.

I was trampled to death by a man who believed his luggage would be the first piece off. If he were an experienced traveler, he would know that the first piece of luggage belongs to no one. It’s just a dummy suitcase to give everyone hope.

We can experience joy in adverse circumstances by holding God’s benefits in such esteem that the recognition of them and meditation upon them shall overcome all sorrow.

This grace of God is a very great, strong, mighty and active thing. It does not lie asleep in the soul. Grace hears, leads, drives, draws, changes, works all in man, and lets itself be distinctly felt and experienced. It is hidden, but its works are evident.

The support down here in Rio has been amazing – between my family, Team U.S.A. and Team Kellogg’s, I’ve felt so much love. This whole experience has been a dream come true.

The artist and the photographer seek the mysteries and the adventure of experience in nature.

The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance – the idea that anything is possible.

I know from my own experience that the path to change is best traveled when we travel together.
