Christlikeness is your eventual destination, but your journey will last a lifetime.
At most, you will live a hundred years on earth, but you will spend forever in eternity.
Leaders don't do what they WANT to do;they do whatever is necessary.
There's nothing in your life you can't learn from, if you respond with the right attitude.
Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect and walk into freedom.
When the Bible speaks of God's love for us and the kind of love we are to have for him and for other people, the word is always apage, signifying a commitment to act.
The greatest gift you can give someone is your time.
Will we fulfill God's purpose, or will we shrink back and live a comfortable, self-centered life?
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.
Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life's purpose.
Living to create an earthly legacy is a short-sighted goal.
Everytime you forgive you disappoint the devil.
God has a purpose behind every problem. He uses circumstances to develop our character. In fact, he depends more on circumstances to make us like Jesus than he depends on our reading the Bible.
Temptation always starts in your mind, not in circumstances.
