There is a story behind every person, a reason why they are the way they are. Don't be quick to judge. Be kind and assume the best.
Nicky GumbelAppreciate those who love you. Serve those who need you. Forgive those who hurt you. Thank those who help you.
Nicky GumbelDon't undervalue yourself. God loves you. Your worth is what you are worth to God. Jesus died for you. You are of infinite value.
Nicky GumbelI'm a Christian. I'm committed to Jesus Christ and I want people to know about Christ, because it's the most wonderful thing. People can say, 'I'll try and give up drugs,' or 'I'll try and live a better life,' but actually, if you're trapped in that lifestyle, you need, I think, some supernatural power to get you out of it. It's not easy to get out of the kind of lifestyles those people are in where all your family are criminals and all your friends are criminals - that is not an easy break to make, and it is a hard thing for a lot of these people.
Nicky GumbelI think everybody needs healing. My understanding of human beings is that we were created in the image of God but we are all fallen, and Jesus died for us so that we can be redeemed. Every Christian is in a process of healing in some way. God's original creation was good, and in some ways fallen away from that. And in every area of our life we need to be healed and restored and to become more Christ-like.
