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 don't have to have a great gift for God to use it in a great way.
I'm getting better every day in every way.
Just because something didn't work out your way, or somebody disappointed you, that does not change who you are.
The sad truth is, if you push hard enough, and if you’re so stubborn that you must have things your way, God will sometimes allow you to undertake a project without His blessing or at the wrong time. The problem with that, of course, is when you start something in your own strength and in your own timing, you’re going to have to finish it and maintain it in your own strength.
No matter what comes your way, don't lose your joy.
When you release your faith in uncommon ways, youll see God do uncommon things.
If your dream dies, dream another one. If things don't work out the way you've planned, God has a better plan for you.
Your idea may not be exactly God's idea, but I can promise you this: God's way will be better than your way.
Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.
You need to get ready because I have explosive blessings coming your way.
Change the way you speak about yourself and you can change your life.
Some things you can only learn in the struggle. When it's easy, when everything is going your way, that doesn't take any faith.
You'll never rise any higher than the way you see yourself.
