When we don’t forgive, we’re not hurting the other person. We’re not hurting the company that did us wrong. We’re not hurting God. We’re only hurting ourselves.
This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.
When things are difficult, smile by faith. Don't wait until you feel better.
You don't have to tell people what they're doing wrong. They already know. Your job is to love them.
You'll never rise any higher than the way you see yourself.
It's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.
If you can see the invisible, God will do the impossible.
I don't argue when people say that my message is simple, but I believe Jesus' message was simple.
If you have your health, if you have people in your life to love, you are blessed. Slow down and enjoy the simple things in life.
Most people already know what they're doing wrong. When I get them to church I want to tell them that you can change.
You didn't accidentally get your personality, looks and gifts. You were designed on purpose to be the way you are. You have what you need to fulfill your destiny.
God didn't create you to be average. You were created to excel You have everything
I believe God gives you the grace to do what you need to do.
FORGIVE The People That Hurt You. God Will Pay You Back With Double The Joy...Double The Victory.
