Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it.

Transformation is a process, and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs. It's a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair.

Nothing shapes your life more than the commitments you choose to make.

The most essential quality for leadership is not perfection but credibility. People must be able to trust you.

When you feel abandoned by God yet continue to trust him in spite of your feelings, you worship him in the deepest way.

When 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.

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