The purpose of influence is to "speak up for those who have no influence." (Pr.31:8) It's not about you.
Rick WarrenThere is a grand designer behind everything. God's plan for your life, all that happens to you, including your mistakes, your sins, and your hurts.
Rick WarrenIf God only used perfect people, nothing would get done. God will use anybody if you're available.
Rick WarrenThis drive to always want more is based on the misconceptions that having more will make me more happy, more important, and more secure, but all three ideas are untrue. Possessions only provide temporary happiness. Because things do not change, we eventually become bored with them and then want newer, bigger, better versions.
