Salvation is the root-the resurrection is the fruit.

If you can disappoint yourself as much as you love yourself and you still manage to disappoint yourself then why are you shocked when other people that you love disappoint you.

Surround yourself with people whose definition of you is not based on your history, but your destiny.

The real harvest of life is the outworking of the internal. If there's nothing in there, there's nothing to work out.

I was raised in the Baptist church... but I didn't really have a real committed experience with Christ until my father died.

Nobody wants somebody who wants them for what they have or the position their in- you want somebody who wants you for you. In case it all goes crazy and it all turns to dust. I want somebody who loves me in the welfare line, eating gumbo, eating fish,black eyed peas and rice. I want somebody that loves me. God wants you to love him, not his cars, not his house, not his blessing- love him.

I believe God promotes you when you graduate from the level that you're on.
