Jesus measured greatness in terms of service not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.

God changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls and coal into diamonds using time and pressure. He's working on you, too.

A lie doesn't become truth, wrong doesn't become right and evil doesn't become good, just because it's accepted by a majority.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD Difficult moments, SEEK GOD Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD Painful moments, TRUST GOD Every moment, THANK GOD

God is much more concerned about your character than your career, because you will take your character into eternity, but not your career.

Unkind people need your kindness the most. They advertise their pain.

Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God.

Listen: being dead is not worse than being alive. It is different though. You could say the view is larger.

When all is lost, but life, really nothing is lost.

I don't need to be married, but I feel married.

If it's your child, it's different. You don't care about those things. It's so minor. You become a parent and nothing else really matters.

Things like that become a blur - shot at some soundstage, somewhere - that's as much as I can remember.

Recognition is powerful, as long as it's authentic and specific. Whatever their level on the inverted pyramid, employees wants to feel needed and valued.
