Some people find the gift of salvation. For others the gifts are smaller: a kind word, a good deed. But all the gifts are from God.

God meets daily needs daily. Not weekly or annually. He will give you what you need when it is needed.

I choose joy... I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker. I will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings, created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.

If today were your last, would you do what you're doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more? Then do so! Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity. Love like there's no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again.

Let your failures refine you, not define you.

When we're in the middle of a difficult time, we have to speak against that lie that says, "God is not here." We have to draw near to God.

The wizard [of Oz] says look inside yourself and find self. God says look inside yourself and find [the Holy Spirit]. The first will get you to Kansas. The latter will get you to heaven. Take your pick.
