If you want to find your purpose in life, find your wound.
Frankness is not a license to say anything you want, wherever and whenever you want. It is not rudeness.
I want to change my circumstances. God wants to change me.
What surprises me most about God is that the creator of the universe should want a relationship with me.
God is love. He didn't need us. But he wanted us.
The first step to becoming what God made you to be is to stop worrying about what others want you to be.
Because God is love, the most important lesson he wants you to learn on earth is how to love.
Delays are as much a part of God plan as answered prayers. God wants you to trust him.
Let me tell you how worthwhile you are. You are infinitely valuable to God. First, God created you. Second, Jesus died for you. Third, he puts his Spirit within you. Fourth, he wants you to be with him forever in eternity. That's how valuable you are to God. You are infinitely valuable to God.
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.
There's not a person on earth that God doesn't love, but God wants us to learn to love him back.
God didnt put you on earth just to read about what others do. He made you TO DO some things others will want to read about!
Leaders don't do what they WANT to do;they do whatever is necessary.
The church that doesn't want to grow is saying to the world, "go to hell."
