You can't have real love without operating in forgiveness. Love keeps giving the other person another chance.

God is more concerned about your heart than your performance. If your heart is right, your performance will eventually catch up.

Don't try to change people. It won't work, and they will end up resenting you. Only God can change people!

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, we will never lose our value in God’s eyes.

I imagine that it saddens the heart of God when we murmur and complain, instead of being thankful after He's been so good to us.

If you don't like yourself, you're going to have a really hard time getting along with anyone else.

The term revolution means: a sudden, radical, and complete change from the way things are normally done. I love that definition because I really feel that in order for us to start walking in the kind of love that Christ commanded us to - the "love your neighbor as yourself" kind - it's going to take a radical change in our current behavior. The church has become passive and selfish and it's going to take a revolution to get us back to the place where we are not just talking the talk, but walking in a love that shows the world Christ's love.
