“You don’t bring glory or pleasure to God by hiding your abilities or by trying to be someone else. You only bring him enjoyment by being you.”

Many people allow their need for other people’s approval to control their lives. They spend their lives worrying about what others think of them.

To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won’t be here long, so don’t get too attached.

For God to mend your broken heart you must give him ALL the pieces. You can’t hold any back.

Worry is the warning light that shows I’ve stopped looking to God to meet my needs.

When you feel nothing, God is teaching you to live by faith.

Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves that allows us to get on with our lives instead of being trapped in the past by resentment.

When you use your life for God’s glory, everything you do can become an act of worship

What gives me the most hope every day is God’s grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.

Those who follow the crowd usually get lost in it.

God’s ultimate goal for your life on earth is not comfort, but character development. He wants you to grow up spiritually and become like Christ.

Without the grace of Jesus: a hopeless end. With the grace of Jesus: an endless hope.

You can’t make a life without making mistakes. Relax and learn something.

Since God intends to make you like Jesus, he will take you through the same experiences Jesus went through. That includes loneliness, temptation, stress, criticism, rejection, and many other problems.

People are interested by talent. God is impressed by character

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Don’t waste your pain; use it to help others.

Life is about letting God use you for his purposes, not using him for your own purpose.

I always knew I had something special.

Every girl is beautiful if they have the ability to believe in themselves.

Your ability to face setbacks and disappointments without giving up will be the measure of your ability to succeed.

Let the confidence in your abilities eat away your doubts.

Women systematically underestimate their own abilities.

The art of any propagandist and agitator consists in his ability to find the best means of influencing any given audience, by presenting a definite truth, in such a way as to make it most convincing, most easy to digest, most graphic, and most strongly impressive.

Every character that I’ve chosen has made me evolve as an actor. And I am lucky that my directors have shown so much faith in my abilities.

It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.
