The key to friendship with God, he said, is not changing what you do, but changing your attitude toward what you do.

The more you care about the powerless, the more power you have. The more you serve those with no influence, the more influence God gives you. The more you humble yourself, the more you're honored by others.

Great people are just ordinary people with an extraordinary amount of determination. They simply don't know how to quit. They just keep on 'keepin' on'.

It is a fatal mistake to assume that God’s 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.

Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go.

To fulfill your mission will require that you abandon your agenda and accept God’s agenda for your life.

There are accidental parents, but there are no accidental children. There are illegitimate parents, but there are no illegitimate children.
