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

Now I may have faith/ to make mountains fall/ But if I lack love/ then I am nothin’ at all.

Don’t be a hard rock when you really are a gem!

See fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need. And I just retired from the fantasy part.

We’ve got to protect the music and make sure it never gets exploited.

Once you compromise yourself in one way, you compromise yourself in another way. And you’ve just opened the door to compromise, mediocrity, settling.

Consequence is no coincidence.

When you’re young and everything dramatic is exciting, you start to believe that hype that, in order to be an artist, you have to suffer. I’ve graduated from that school.

I am up there onstage alone with that guitar. I don’t have to consider no one else and whether they are comfortable. I need very little.

You don’t know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It’s all in the practice.

I find, even though it’s raining, I just go outside. I look outside and I’m just so blessed to see it and to experience it, because for such a long time I was just indoors.

Miscommunication leads to complication.

I am just beginning to be more comfortable with my identity.

A friend once said, and I found to be true,That everyday people, they lie to God too, So what makes you think, that they won’t lie to you.

Reality is easy. It’s deception that’s the hard work.

We don’t want people to have expectations of us, but then we have expectations of everybody else.

And deep in my heart. The answer, it was in me. And I made up my mind. To define my own destiny.

God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be.

You never know God is all you need until God is all you have.

If we show Allah just a little bit of gratitude, He tells us, ‘I will increase you, and increase you, and increase you, I swear to it. If you could only show Me the least bit of gratitude.’

True Christianity is not merely believing a certain set of dry abstract propositions: it is to live in daily personal communication with an actual living person – Jesus Christ.

No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering; he chooses God’s will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.

You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.

We may not be able to do any great thing; but if each of us will do something, however small it may be, a good deal will be accomplised for God.

God is enough. That is the root of peace. When we start seeking something besides Him, we lose it.
