This is not the time to shrink back in fear. Move forward in faith. Get up every morning knowing you are gifted.

Ask God to give you the strength to endure, and rest assured, He will take care of you.

Men, learn to speak blessings over your wife and you will see that woman rise to a new level. She will respond to your praise and encouragement. Your words don't have to be poetic, fancy, or profound. Tell her simply but sincerely, "You're a great mother to our children. And you are a great wife to me. I'm so glad I can always count on you."

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.

Other people's opinions do not determine your potential.

I've always been - you know, my personality is motivating and encouraging. And so I'm just being who God made me to be.

Most of the criticism I get is that I am too positive and too hopeful... in my words, I don't beat people down enough.
