When you forgive, you must cancel the debt. Do not spend your life paying and collecting debts.

Nobody can be set free from a problem until they're willing to admit they have one.

Remember God is not surprised by your inabilities, your imperfections, or your faults. He has always known everything about you that you are just now finding out, and he chose you on purpose for himself.

You can be pitiful, or you can be powerful, but you can't be both

God has blessed me in many ways. Money is not the greatest blessing you can have, but I literally had absolutely nothing. The first message that I preached at Life in the Word, I had to borrow a suit from my pastor's wife, because I didn't have any decent clothes, and I was driving a 20-year-old car. We went through a lot of years of having nothing, sleeping in McDonald's parking lots, because we didn't have money to stay all night in a hotel. But, like anybody else who works hard and is diligent and doesn't quit and doesn't give up, there is a day the blessings come.

Character is doing what you don't want to do but know you should do.

If you don't love yourself, it's impossible for you to love others. You can't give away what you don't have.
