“We are healed to help others. We are blessed to be a blessing. We are saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.”

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.

Love is a flower that grows in any soil, works its sweet miracles undaunted by autumn frost or winter snow, blooming fair and fragrant all the year, and blessing those who give and those who receive.

A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don’t ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren’t blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart.

Acceptance is taking from God’s hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving.

When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.

Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it.

I hope the Great Heavenly Father, who will look down upon us, will give all the tribes his blessing, that we may go forth in peace, and live in peace all our days, and that He will look down upon our children and finally lift us far above this earth.

Those who expect to reap the blessing of freedom must undertake to support it.

Blessed are the cracked, for they let in the light.
