You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for.
Rick WarrenIt is a fatal mistake to assume that Godโs goal for your life is material prosperity or popular success, as the world defines it. The abundant life has nothing to do with material abundance, and faithfulness to God does not guarantee success in a career or even ministry. Never focus on temporary crowns.
Rick WarrenIf you always feel comfortable reading God's Word, you're either not reading ALL of it, or you aren't letting it sink in.
Rick WarrenThe most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It's focused attention.
Rick WarrenOnly the Holy Spirit has the power to make the changes God wants to make in our lives.... We allow Christ to live through us... through the choices we make. We choose to do the right thing in situations and then trust God's Spirit to give us his power, love, faith, and wisdom to do it. Since God's Spirit lives inside of us, these things are always available for asking.
Rick Warren
