Take time to make a difference. Don't just obsess about how you can make your life better. Think about how you can make somebody else's life better as well.

You have to change on the inside before change will happen on the outside.

I believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged - 'There's nothing good in my future' - I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.

Keep doing the right. God is building character in you, and you are passing that test. Remember, the greater the struggle, the greater the reward.

If you can be a blessing to somebody else, you're sowing a seed for God to help you.

The sad truth is, if you push hard enough, and if you’re so stubborn that you must have things your way, God will sometimes allow you to undertake a project without His blessing or at the wrong time. The problem with that, of course, is when you start something in your own strength and in your own timing, you’re going to have to finish it and maintain it in your own strength.

People can call you many different things, but you are not what people call you. You are what you answer to.
