If your life is motivated by your ambition to leave a legacy, what you'll probably leave as a legacy is ambition.

I grew up hearing everyone tell me 'God loves you'. I would say big deal, God loves everybody. That don't make me special! That just proves that God ain't got no taste. And, I don't think He does. Thank God! Because He takes the junk of our lives and makes the most beautiful art.

If my life is motivated by my ambition to leave a legacy, what I'll probably leave as a legacy is ambition. But if my life is motivated by the power of the Spirit in me, if I live with the awareness of the indwelling Christ, if I allow His presence to guide my actions, to guide my motives, those sort of things. That's the only time I think we really leave a great legacy.

There's a difference, you know, between faith and playing make-believe. One will make you grow. The other one will make you sleep.

Usually when we do something to corrupt our lives, it's usually something to fulfill an ache that we have.
