Success isn't what you've done compared to others. Success is what you've done compared to what you were made to do.

Today's circumstances are out of your control but you CAN control your response. Don't let a negative outlook kill your joy today.

I want to be able to get my point across. I respect people expressing their freedoms and their liberties and their rights, but at the same time I'm almost mindful that my freedoms can be other people's downfalls. I don't want to flash my freedoms in your face all the time, especially if they're going to be detrimental. I can get you to understand my point without going overboard, and we're cool.

If you plan to excel in big things, you have to develop the habit in the small ones.

I think everybody has a purpose. Everybody is made to be a picture of how good and glorious God is, and I think sometimes we'll get it confused and think because we mess up, we make mistakes or we have some blemishes in our record, that our purpose is somehow messed up. But actually that only serves to further paint a picture of how good God is when he uses people who are messed up just like me.

When you’re reminded that God owes you nothing you find yourself more grateful and less entitled.

We fear circumstances so much because we fear God so little.
