“If God’s people are to be living examples of one thing, that thing ought to be – it must be – compassion.”

No pressure is greater than God’s power.

If you never get criticized, chances are you aren’t getting anything done.

We shouldn’t deny the pain of what happens in our lives. We should just refuse to focus only on the valleys.

One of the worst things you can give to your people is someone you’re not.

A teardrop on earth summons the King of heaven.

When God is involved, anything can happen. Be open. Stay that way. God has a beautiful way of bringing good vibrations out of broken chords.

Let`s choose each day and every day to keep an attitude of faith and joy and belief and compassion.

The remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.

One of the problems with worry is that it keeps you from enjoying what you have.

Consistency: It’s the jewel worth wearing; It’s the anchor worth weighing; It’s the thread worth weaving; It’s a battle worth winning.

If you are having difficulty loving or relating to an individual, take him to God. Bother the Lord with this person. Don’t you be bothered with him – leave him at the throne.

Strength comes from choosing to fully trust, pray, and praise. Our circumstances may not change, but in the process we change.

Tell yourself right now and throughout today, that it’s okay to draw away from the maddening crowd. Jesus did; so can you.

Every one of us can blame somebody for something that has happened in our lives. But don’t waste your time. What we need most is a steady stream of love flowing among us. Love that quickly forgives, willingly overlooks, and refuses to take offense.

It helps me if I remember that God is in charge of my day – not I.

Don’t seek more days in your life but more life in your days.

I love my people and I love that God has blessed me to bless others.

Everyone you meet is a part of your journey, but not all of them are meant to stay in your life. Some people are just passing through to bring you gifts; either they’re blessings or lessons.

Blessed is the covenant of love, the covenant of mercy, useless light behind the terror, deathless song in the house of night.

Count your blessings, not your problems. Count your own blessings, not someone else’s. Remember that jealousy is when you count someone else’s blessings instead of your own.

More smiling, less worrying. More compassion, less judgment. More blessed, less stressed. More love, less hate.

Independence I have long considered as the grand blessing of life, the basis of every virtue; and independence I will ever secure by contracting my wants, though I were to live on a barren heath.

Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many – not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.

Some things I loved have vanished. A great many others have been given to me.
