“In this dark world, the Lord Jesus gave us the task of passing on His love.”

Although the threads of my life have often seemed knotted, I know, by faith, that on the other side of the embroidery there is a crown.

Forgiveness is setting the prisoner free, only to find out that the prisoner was me.

When you want to work for God start a committee. When you want to work with God start a prayer group

The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration, but its donation.

Let God’s promises shine on your problems.

Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.

Hold loosely to the things of this life, so that if God requires them of you, it will be easy to let them go.

If God has shown us bad times ahead, it’s enough for me that He knows about them. That’s why He sometimes shows us things, you know – to tell us that this too is in His hands.

You never so touch the ocean of God’s love as when you forgive and love your enemies.

You see, a potter can only mold the clay when it lies completely in his hand. It requires complete surrender.

The safest place to be is in the center of God’s will.

Worry is like racing the engine of an automobile without letting in the clutch.

Worry is an old man with bended head, carrying a load of feathers which he thinks are lead.

Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.

If all things are possible with God, then all things are possible to him who believes in Him.

Don’t worry about what you do not understand… Worry about what you do understand in the Bible, but do not live by.

Never will He hold your hand more tightly than when He is leading you through the dark.

Even in darkness, your light burns with the cosmic energy of a thousand falling stars.

Consumed by darkness but drenched in warm morning sun. Life’s oxymoron.

We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light so we can see the bright side of everything.

If no pain, then no love. If no darkness, no light. If no risk, then no reward. It’s all or nothing. In this damn world, it’s all or nothing.

I have to interweave my poetry with purpose. For me, that purpose is to help people, and to shed a light on issues that have far too long been in the darkness.

Sometimes you have to explore the darkness to get to the light and get back to who you are.

Your willingness to look at your darkness is what empowers you to change.
