God is always more interested in why we do something than in what we do. Attitudes count more than achievements.
Rick WarrenGod uses the opposite situation of each fruit to allow us a choice. You can't claim to be good if you have never been tempted to be bad.
Rick WarrenWhen God wants to make a mushroom, he does it overnight, but when He wants to make a giant oak, He takes a hundred years. Great souls are grown through struggles and storms and seasons of suffering. Be patient with the process.
Rick Warren
