This is a day that God has given me. It's a gift. I can never relive this day. And I'm not going to live it angry, in unforgiveness, and mad at somebody. If I don't get my way, I'm going to believe that God's still in control.
You're never going to please everyone - you might as well be who God made you to be.
Check your spiritual birth certificate, you were made in the mighty image of God.
To me, it's OK to have differences. But we don't have to be mad about it. You know? And I think that's where sometimes we get so passionate that we - you know, it turns into anger.
When I grew up, the Devil was a reason why I had a headache or the Devil was the reason I got mad today. We always blamed the Devil. I think today when I say the Enemy, I like to make it broader. Sometimes the Enemy can be our own thoughts.
Strive to make every person feel special. After all, every person you meet is made in the image of God.
It’s vital that you accept yourself and learn to be happy with who God made you to be. If you want to truly enjoy your life, you must be at peace with yourself.
God made you a masterpiece - be blessed, secure, disciplined and equipped.
You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won't receive the good things God has in store.
The Hindus are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
I am excited about the opportunity of expanding our outreach with Free Press.
You may make some mistakes-but that doesn't make you a sinner. You've got the very nature of God on the inside of you.
Faith is easy; I think people complicate it.
You have enough people against you... be for yourself.
