I spend most of my time speaking to people who totally disagree with me. I speak to gays, I speak to atheists, I speak to secularists, I speak to Muslims because I am trying to build a bridge between my heart and theirs so Jesus can walk across and they can come to know Christ.

Explanations don't comfort. You won't feel better if you know why. It won't hurt any less.

You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for.

It’s not about you. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It’s far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dreams and ambitions. If you want to know why you were placed on this planet, you must begin with God. You were born by his purpose and for his purpose.

Maturity is when you live your life by your commitments, not by your feelings.

The secret of endurance is to remember that your pain is temporary but your reward will be eternal.

God didnt put you on earth just to read about what others do. He made you TO DO some things others will want to read about!
