Every time truth comes we hate it, because it's coming against our ego. Are you going to let the ego come between you and this person you love?

I consider myself a crayon... I may not be your favorite color but one day you'll need me to complete your picture.

Let me be patient, let me be kind, make me unselfish, without being blind.

Don't be a hard rock when you really are a gem!

Everything we do should be a result of our gratitude for what God has done for us.
