“Jesus, I don’t want to be a secret keeper with my faith. I want to be a bold and gracious truth proclaimer. For You. With You. Because of You. Me, the unwanted girl whom You loved, redeemed and wanted.”

I was made for more than being stuck in a vicious cycle of defeat. I am not made to be a victim of my poor choices. I was made to be a victorious child of God.

Praying helps me see perspectives otherwise beyond me.

Don’t let people’s compliments go to your head and don’t let their criticisms go to your heart.

I so desperately want my words to be indicative of how deeply and completely I love my people.

Chase God’s heart today. Christianity has got to be more than a label, a lingo, and a lifestyle.

Trying to fix another person will only add to my anxiety. Letting Jesus work on me is where real progress can happen.

Instead of wishing things would change, I’m asking God for His strength to make a change.

We need to make peace with who we are so insecurities don’t become a distraction to how we live. Just because I sometimes feel insecure doesn’t mean I have to be insecure.

The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease to be practically universal in our country.

I’ve lost my faith in science.

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

My mother had taught me that the only thing you could depend on was your faith, and I had that.

Faith is a passionate intuition.

Faith is knowing there is an ocean because you have seen a brook.

The wars of Israel were the only ‘holy wars’ in history, there can be no more wars of faith. The only way to overcome our enemy is by loving him.
