Don't give up on the people you love. Your patient love and faithfulness may be exactly what they need to make a complete turnaround.

Don't miss out on today by living in yesterday.

The purpose of faith isn't always to keep us from having trouble. It is often to carry us through trouble. If we never had any trouble, we wouldn't need any faith.

There are times when God leaves huge question marks as tools in our lives to stretch our our faith.

You can become so manipulated and controlled by what you think other people expect you to do that you literally live under the tyranny of other people's expectations. And what I call the shoulds and the oughts. I believe that hundreds of thousands of people miss their God-ordained destiny and they never really feel satisfied, content and fulfilled, because they're so busy trying to keep everybody else satisfied with them that they don't ever get around to doing what they really want to do.

We don't always help people by doing everything for them. That type of behavior can actually contribute to their problems because it helps then never take responsibility on their own.

If you're strong enough on the inside, you can handle anything that comes at you on the outside.
