“I was hopeless, now I’m on Hope Road.”

The only help I need to live, is unprofessional. The only wealth I have to give, is not material. And if you need much more than that, I’m not available.

Place your attention 6 inches above your crown. God is breathing in and out there.

Think black love, think universal love. Just think love.

I believe God will make a way.

I am no longer going to become a fictional character to please people. That’s too much work.

I get out, I get out of all your boxes.

I need to be surrounded by people as passionate and as dedicated as I am.

Be honest, brutally honest. That is what’s going to maintain relationships.

Nobody’s going to force me to do something against my will. What do I owe anybody that I should submit my will to them?

Never underestimate those who you scar.

Let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind, though I may suffer, I’ll envy it not and endure what comes cause he is all that I got.

We should constantly be aspiring to reach higher and higher and higher. We should never be comfortable where we are.

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.

I think everything happens in time. There’s a time for everything. There’s a time to be in a group, and there’s a time to be solo.

Every day is a lesson in focus for me, and not buying into the world’s concept of what you have to be. I really try every day to be individual and not just in my style or my look or my music, but in my approach to life.

What was freely given to me, I freely give.

The word advent means “expectation.” What advent can do for us is create a sense of hope.

I believe that God is not lost. He is in the middle with us right now. If people will take a few moments and take this journey, hope will rise up in their hearts. I believe that.

God, I hope I wear this jersey forever.

But difficult situations and wrong choices conspire to trap us in hopelessness.

I am tired in many ways, but hopeful in many more.

I hope you know that even on days you don’t feel whole – you are enough.

People can take power over their communities and over their lives. Some people don’t realize they can do that. They think ‘It’s OK for other people, but I myself can’t do it.’ Hopefully, that will come out of the film.

We become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams.
