“First, God does not send people to hell. He simply honors their choice. Hell is the ultimate expression of God’s high regard for the dignity of man. He has never forced us to choose Him, even when that means we would choose Hell.”

Lower your expectations of earth. This isn’t heaven, so don’t expect it to be.

God is God. He knows what he is doing. When you can’t trace his hand, trust his heart.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

You’re never without hope, because you’re never without prayer.

Focus on giants – you stumble. Focus on God – Giants tumble.

If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.

Give your problems to Christ before your problems get to you.

God is able to accomplish, provide, help, save, keep, subdue… He is able to do what you can’t. He already has a plan. God’s not bewildered. Go to Him.

A little rain can straighten a flower stem. A little love can change a life.

Meet your fears with faith.

You will never forgive anyone more than God has already forgiven you.

You are valuable because you exist. Not because of what you do or what you have done – but simply because you are.

What causes us to think of prayer as the last option rather than the first? I can think of two reasons: feelings of independence and feelings of insignificance.

If today were your last, would you do what you’re doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more?

God never promises to remove us from our struggles. He does promise, however, to change the way we look at them.

Don’t measure the size of the mountain; talk to the One who can move it.

What drains your spirit drains your body. What fuels your spirit fuels your body.

I prefer to live in a rented house. No ties. Nothing around my neck. Just the minimum kind of bare comforts of home.

It is not what we choose that is important; it is the reason we choose it.

Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It’s harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next.

I would rather die for Christ than rule the whole earth.

Is the Pope Catholic. No I’m serious. I really need to know.

I came to the conclusion that I am free to choose my own suffering. But I am not free to consent to someone else’s suffering.

One-hundred percent, even now I doubt myself. I don’t understand what people hear in my voice. I can’t hear it myself, if you know what I mean.
