To know and experience what God can do, we must first realize and acknowledge what we cannot do. We must get our eyes off of ourselves and our limited ability, and totally onto Him and His infinite power.

When I was a teenager, I didn't get to do a lot of the things that other kids my age were doing because my dad was very controlling and he wouldn't allow me to go to school activities, like games and dances. So I didn't have positive expectations for my future or really dream about what I could do with my life. I was just trying to survive until I could get out on my own.

The one thing everybody's looking for is unconditional love. We all need somebody to love us just the way we are

We don't have to wait for something nice to happen to us, we can be aggressive and do something nice for ourselves.

I think that one of the things that Christianity really needs, and the church really needs, is credibility. People need to be able to trust us and they need to believe we really want to help them and that it's not just, I'm-doing-this-for-me type thing.

We need to do what we can do and let God do what we cannot.

God is able to do anything. All things are possible with Him, but we must not quit praying.
