Jesus called His followers to be a lot of things, but I have yet to find where He warned us to be safe.

Poverty is not a sin; it is a condition, a circumstance that allows God's work to be displayed.

I have learned that I will not change the world, Jesus will do that. I can however, change the world for one person. I can change the world for fourteen little girls and for four hundred schoolchildren and for a sick and dying grandmother and for a malnourished, neglected, abused five-year old. And if one persons sees the love of Christ in me, it is worth every minute. In fact, it is worth spending my life for.

When I imagine God creating each one of us and planting a purpose deep in our hearts, I never imagine that purpose being mediocrity.

I believe there is only one truly courageous thing we can do with our lives: to love unconditionally. Absolutely, with all of ourselves, so much that it hurts and then more.

Courage isn't about knowing the path, it's about taking the first step.

I will not change the world. Jesus will do that. I can, however, let Him use me to change the world for one person.
