To be great at a few things and experience it, you'll have to say no to many things.

The clearer your vision becomes, the easier it is to guard what God calls you to do.

The truth: you have what you need. Watch out for excuses. Whenever you're tempted to whine about what you don't have, remember that God has given you everything you need to do everything He wants you to do.

True loyalty is proven not proclaimed.

Shame usually follows a pattern—a cycle of self-recrimination and lies that claims life after life. First, we experience an intensely painful event. Second, we believe the lie that our pain and failure is who we are—not just something we’ve done, or had done to us—and we experience shame. And finally, our feelings of shame trap us into thinking that we can never recover—that, in fact, we don’t even deserve to.

The Bible is the best and most important tool in discerning direction from God.

If you want what NORMAL people have, do what normal people DO. If you want what FEW people have, do what few people DO.
