I think a lot of people believe that they have to be poor to serve God, that they can't have anything. They don't really even know how to give. And one of the main principles in the Bible is you'll reap what you sew, and that if you give into the lives of others, that it shall be given back to you, good measure, pressed down and shaken together. If you go plant one tomato seed, you don't get back one tomato; you get a vine of tomatoes.

If you're gonna be free, you gotta stop caring what everyone thinks.

So now, I exhort you with this truth: Don't spend all your life playing it safe! Safety is very comfortable, but it may be keeping you from God's perfect plan for your life.

One day, the idea that God loved me dropped from my head into my heart.

Genuine thanksgiving is a response to both who God is and what He has done, is doing, and will do.

Don't waste your time being upset about something you can't change. Begin again and do it better this time.

Don't be afraid to step out, have dreams, have visions, have hopes and always, always, always believe in miracles.
