The real power in helping somebody to be transformed is not to do something to them but to join with them.

It is the understanding of others and the awareness of their needs, that the ambassador of CHRIST should strive to cultivate

The degree to which we openly express our feelings should be governed, not by fear of reprisal, but by our commitment to loving others.

The more clearly we recognize how deep our commitment to self-protection operates in our relational style and the more courageously we face the ugliness of protecting ourselves rather than loving others, the more we'll shift our direction.

We were designed to love and when we do, something good develops inside. We feel clean, rich, whole. Even better, we become less concerned with how we feel and more concerned with the lives of others.

The goal of our sanctification is that we place Christ on display in the way we love others.

A vision we give to others of who and what they could become has power when it echoes what the spirit has already spoken into their souls.
