You won't be free from guilt if you are constantly replaying the negative memories of your past. If you're going to replay anything, replay your victories!

I just think that trusting God means we're going to have unanswered questions, and God is so much bigger than us, we're never going to understand them all.

I do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political. I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart.

Sometimes we focus on the mess or the broken dream, but in all the mess God sees greatness. He knows how to take your troubles and turn them into trophies, how to take the test and make it your testimony.

It's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

God can make greatness out of a great mess

The truth is, somebody is always talking about you, so you have to let it go... if it's not a part of your God-given destiny.
