Never let an impossible situation intimidate you. Let it motivate you - to pray more, trust more, expect more.

Pride builds walls between people, humility builds bridges.

Everybody wants confidence but you don't find it in self help books. You find confidence in the Holy Spirit.

The death, and the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus happened over three days. Friday was the day of suffering and pain and agony. Saturday was the day of doubt and confusion and misery. But Easter, that Sunday, was the day of hope and joy and victory. You will face these three days over and over and over in your lifetime. And when you do, you’ll find yourself asking, as I did, three fundamental questions: Number one, what do I do in my days of pain? Two, how do I get through my days of doubt and confusion? Three, how do I get to the days of joy and victory? The answer is Easter.

Marriage doesn't create problems. It reveals them. You bring unresolved stuff into it.

This drive to always want more is based on the misconceptions that having more will make me more happy, more important, and more secure, but all three ideas are untrue. Possessions only provide temporary happiness. Because things do not change, we eventually become bored with them and then want newer, bigger, better versions.

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.
