“A true friend knows your weaknesses but shows you your strenghs; feels your fears but fortifies your faith; sees your anxieties but frees your spirit; recognizes your disabilities but emphasizes your possibilities.”

Flatter me, and I may not believe you. Criticize me, and I may not like you. Ignore me, and I may not forgive you. Encourage me, and I will not forget you. Love me and I may be forced to love you.

A success is one who decided to succeed and worked. A failure is one who decided to succeed and wished.

To bear defeat with dignity, to accept criticism with poise, to receive honors with humility – these are marks of maturity and graciousness.

We can be resentful of our age, or we can be grateful for having attained it.

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

A friend is one with whom you are comfortable, to whom you are loyal, through whom you are blessed, and for whom you are grateful.

Do more than believe: practice.

Study while others are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and dream while others are wishing.

Encourage me, and I will not forget you.

Once trust is tarnished, it is hard to restore it to its original glow.

Forgiveness is a funny thing. It warms the heart and cools the sting.

God gave you a gift of 86,400 seconds today. Have you used one to say ‘thank you?’

A life lived without forgiveness is a prison.

‘If only’ is the excuse of the loser; ‘I can’ is the affirmation of the winner.

Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records.

The winner asks, “May I help?” The loser asks, “Do you expect me to do that?”

What is hope? Hope is wishing for a thing to come true; faith is believing that it will come true.

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 encourage people at this time, do not put your faith in any preacher, in any human system, but put your faith and trust in the Living God.

Faith is about doing. You are how you act, not just how you believe.

It’s the circle of life, and it moves us all, through despair and hope, through faith and love, ’till we find our place, on the path unwinding.

Never had much faith in love or miracles, Never wanna put my heart on the line.

Faith supplies staying power. Anyone can keep going when the going is good, but some extra ingredient is needed to keep you fighting when it seems that everything is against you.

We know that God works for all things together for the good of those who love Him and that God is faithful. We will fail God, we will fail our family and our family might fail us at times, but God never fails us.
