You were never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. We were created to be victorious.

Don't waste your energy trying to convince people to understand you. Your time is too valuable to try to prove yourself to people.

I don't have to figure out how God is going to solve my problem. I don't have to understand how He's going to bring it to pass. That's His responsibility. My job is to simply believe that He will.

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.

Never put a question mark where God has put a period. When something is over and done, let it go and move on to the next chapter of your life.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.

Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

There are people in your path just so you can be a blessing to them. Anytime you do good for others, you are sowing a seed for God to be good to you.

You have to accept the fact that some people are never going to be for you. Treat them with respect, but you don’t need their approval to fulfill your destiny.

Wake up every morning with a thankful attitude. Expect something good to happen in your life today.

To me, everything in the world comes down to two categories: "about-ness" and "is-ness". "About" represents or describes something, while "Is" is the thing itself.

You call it madness, but I call it love.

Approach each task in your life, no matter how simple or how complex, with power.

To be moral, correct, and virtuous is to be obedient to an old established law and custom.

Don't die to see me, live to love me.

We must be unanimous; there must be no pulling different ways; we must hang together.

Protection of human life can be costly; but so is the neglect of that protection.

I still occasionally need to struggle but I now fear it less. The weapons I fight it with are also my consolations: books, music, food, wine, nature.

Keep up a humble sense of your own faults, and that will make you compassionate to others

You appreciate the little details in life once you realize how fragile it isYou respect the afterlife when you realize how powerful it is.
