Get honest with God, and your focus will shift from just seeing your problems - no matter how overwhelming they seem - to the grace of God.
God wants to produce the character of Christ in our lives because he knows that the more we become like him, the more fulfilled we will be.
We discover that meaning and purpose only when we make God the reference point of our lives.
Everybody's got a worldview. Everybody's betting their life on something. ... You just better know why you're betting what you're betting on.
Jesus measured greatness in terms of service not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you.
In 30 years of travel and training leaders -164 nations - I've never met anyone who didn't need massive doses of love.
In 35 yrs of leading I've been afraid at every major step but I DID IT ANYWAY since I REFUSE let fear run my life.
You'll never do anything creative, innovative or world changing if you fear criticism. Pioneers are easy targets for arrows!
In our final moments we all realize that relationships are what life is all about. Wisdom is learning that truth sooner rather than later.
Knowing you're a child of the creator of the universe changes everything.

Whatever is at the center of our life will be the source of our security, guidance, wisdom, and power.Life just has to go on!
A life that is never willing to change is a great tragedy - a wasted life. Change is a necessary part of a growing life, and we need change in order to remain fresh and to keep progressing.
Passion drives perfection.
