To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won't be here long, so don't get too attached.

If you give it to God, He transforms your test into a testimony, your mess into a message, and your misery into a ministry.

Willpower can produce short-term change, but it creates constant internal stress because you haven't dealt with the root cause.

If God only used perfect people, nothing would get done. God will use anybody if you're available.

Jesus has not promised to build your ministry; he has promised to build his church.

Character is never built in a classroom; it is built in the circumstances of life.

I think any apparent contradiction in scripture is my limited capacity. Me trying to understand God is like an ant trying to understand the Internet. I don't have the brain capacity.
