You can't do God's will and satisfy everyone.

The truest friends are usually the ones telling you what you don't want to hear.

To love someone properly probably means that you won’t be very popular. Pure love, loving the way it was intended, is unfortunately a foreign concept to many. Love is messy. Love will involve hardship, demand patience, require forgiveness, test maturity, strain friendship, challenge priorities, refine character, ignite the heart and unleash the soul. Love is not something you sing about, it’s the reason you sing. Love is not something you write about, it’s the reason you write. Love is not something you live to find, it’s the reason that you are alive.

The Church needs more people willing to wash feet, not just point out they're dirty or complain that they smell.

The amount of "followers" you have does not make you better than anyone else. Hitler had millions. Jesus had twelve.

You can usually tell by the look on someone's face if they woke up counting their problems or their blessings.

God loves us too much to pretend our sin isn't there. Sin is a cancer and Christ the surgeon. True prayer signs the consent form.
