As much as it pleases God to bless you, there will be moments when everything you try goes up in smoke. There will be moments when the one you counted on most walks away and leaves you groping through blinding tears and wailing questions of why. Plans and goals can be circumvented by the most disappointing of times, leaving you learning the art of patience and the acceptance of a denied request.

I chose to present myself as one who comes from among the people, and I can be touched by their pain because I have my own.

The myth of the poor Jesus needs to be destroyed, because it's holding people back.

You can't just be a recipient of a blessing, you have to do something to make it happen.

My father was a Methodist and my mother was a Baptist.

As a Christian, Christ died so that we will have eternal life in Him in Heaven. What it looks like doesn't matter, what it smells like doesn't matter, as long as Christ is there it will be Heaven to me.

Don't come into the presence of God to impress Him with something He gave you!
