Hiding your hurt only intensifies it. Problems grow in the dark and only become bigger and bigger, but when exposed to the light of truth, they shrink. You are only as sick as your secrets. So take off your mask, stop pretending you're perfect and walk into freedom.

In our final moments we all realize that relationships are what life is all about. Wisdom is learning that truth sooner rather than later.

You are as close to God as you choose to be.

The ultimate test of faith is not how loudly you praise God in happy times but how deeply you trust him in dark times.

To make the best use of your life, you must never forget two truths: First, compared with eternity, life is extremely brief. Second, earth is only a temporary residence. You won't be here long, so don't get too attached.

Delays are as much a part of God plan as answered prayers. God wants you to trust him.

When pressure builds up, don't panic. Pray! Prayer is a tremendous stress reliever. It can be your safety valve.
