I think sometimes you just lose your focus, and I think that's easy to do when you start getting more fame, more money, more power.

Salvation and Christ's love is a gift. You don't earn it. You've got to receive that gift. I think one of the most important things is starting off the day forgiving others and forgiving yourself. You learn from your mistakes, but I don't think you have to drag them back into today.

I don't believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

God's used me to help turn their life around or give them hope, you know? It's very rewarding

It’s not always easy to get over some of those bumps in the road, those disillusionments and disappointments. It’s going to take a strong will. Sometimes, it may take courage. Sometimes nothing but faith in God and say, I refuse to be trapped in the past. I’m not going to let the past destroy my future. I’m pressing on. I’m straining forward, knowing that God has great things in store for me.

Quit dwelling on the negative things people have said about you. You don’t have to have everyone’s approval. You have God’s approval.

I would rather believe for something great and receive half of it, than to believe for nothing and receive all of it!
