What is amazing is how we treat a meeting with God as ordinary or burdensome.

Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don't really matter.

The world says love yourself, grab all you can, follow your heart. Jesus says deny yourself, grab your cross and follow me.

God has allowed hard things in your life so you can show the world that your God is great and that knowing Him brings peace and joy, even when life is hard.

God's definition of what matters is pretty straightforward. He measures our lives by how we love.

We never grow closer to God when we just live life. It takes deliberate pursuit and attentiveness.

The American people deserve long-term, forward-thinking policies.

Nobody believes in me more than me.

Karma simply means that whatever type of energy you project, or you allow to pass through your being, you will become for a period of time.

I don't feel bound by the ebbs and flows of musical trends, or what's happening with new music in general.

If there is someone in your life who is not serving you or making you better, give yourself permission to move on.

When I was younger, I thought I was too young to really be personal. I thought that what I was feeling and thinking might be half-baked.
