Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Donโt waste your pain; use it to help others.
Rick WarrenI love the verse in Job, where it says a man deserves the devotion of his friends even when he forsakes the Almighty. Now what that verse means to me is, even if I were to say, right now I don't believe in God. I still need you to be my friend, and say, I can believe God for you right now. I'm going to hold you up while you are ranting and railing, and God can handle my ranting and railing because He certainly handled David's and Job's and so many others.
Rick WarrenThere are accidental parents, but there are no accidental children. There are illegitimate parents, but there are no illegitimate children.
