When my dad founded our church, he used either a globe or a map of the world behind him. It was symbolic of what Christ said: to go forth and preach hope to the world. We believe in the cross, but we just continued with the globe.

My daddy tried to get me up to speak for the 17 years that I worked behind the scenes, but I never had the desire. Naturally, I was nervous and kind of shy. I just didn't want to do it.

You're not RESPONSIBLE for somebody else's happiness. You're responsible for your own HAPPINESS.

Strive to make every person feel special. After all, every person you meet is made in the image of God.

At this very moment, God’s working behind the scenes in your life, arranging things in your favor. Stay in faith!

Smiling resets your mood.

Happiness is always a choice. You can't wait for circumstances to get better. You have to create your own good fortune. So look for ways to be happy every day.
