Don't let your net worth determine your self worth.

Satan doesn't mind you using your strengths, so long as you do it for personal benefits.

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

How does God teach me love? By putting me around unlovely people. How does God teach me joy in the middle of grief? Not happiness, which is based on happenings. How does God teach me peace? Not when I am out fishing and everything is going my way and it doesn't get better than this. But in the middle of chaos. How does God teach me patience? By putting me in His waiting room.

You are not an accident. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He wanted you alive and created you for a purpose. Focusing on yourself will never reveal your real purpose. You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense. Only in God do we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance and our destiny.

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you. Don’t waste your pain; use it to help others.

There is nothing quite as potent as a focused life, one lived on purpose.
